We bought one back in March and have used it on 2 camp trips. We love it. The size and portability is great for our smaller camper. The nonstick is easy to clean up. We took our original Blackstone out and put this one in. Awesome product 👍
We love the nonstick aluminum cooking surface. No rust, no seasoning and super easy cleanup. We had enough silicone or nylon tools so we didn't need to buy the Blackstone set.
I'm really digging mine after the 4th camping trip with it. No rust and it cleans up super easy. My kids don't like dirty eggs that you get from traditional griddles. With this one I use a silicone scraper to push all the extra gunk to the drain after the bacon is cooked before putting the eggs on. Light weight and great size.
I had the same issue at first, and hell, I may replace it with cast iron sometime down the road. However, I have to admit, this thing cooks smash burgers like a champ. I'm pretty happy with mine so far, despite the non-stick top.
That was a great demonstration! Looks like it will definitely be an upgrade and hopefully prove to last a long time. It sure cleaned up nicely, that's for sure. Thank you for the video my friend!!
Great review! I bought one just a couple months ago and it has been great! Like you said the compact size is a huge space saver and it is way lighter than my full size Blackstone griddle. I need that adapter to run off the RV supply. What I like the most is how fast the griddle heats and cooks evenly.
I picked up the 14" ( single burner) with side burner just after they came out. I returned it after 4 days.. I didn't care for the Aluminum cooking surface. I decided my old 17" with steel surface was a better choice for me.
Didn't even know this was available. Ran to Walmart and got the last one after watching your video. Wanted something like this for just the two of us camping. Thanks!
I use Montreal seasoning. For my burgers and steak.the flavor is great. Make the burgers very juice. Add it only once in the beginning, or it will be too salty. Great video.
Keep an eye on that plastic handle. Mine already broke after less than 10 uses. The plastic on each side just cracked. I do love this for camping/cooking at the park! Easy to use, heats up fast, fast cleanup, and the nonstick makes it more portable. Blackstone is sending me a replacement handle but I'll be looking for something that isn't plastic.
@@gilbertpc805 of course it's an odd size (4 3/4") so box stores around me don't carry that. 11 screws to take out and get to the handle. Easy but disappointed it seems to be the one area they went super cheap on.
@@bucky716 im thinking of returning it and getting the normal 22 with stand combo. I do like the non stick on this but also dislike the fact you can only use plastic utensils on it
New subscriber and fellow camping and outdoor enthusiast. I just post a video how I did not like my 22” Blackstone. It’s too big for our small TT and it was underwhelming for home use. Folks in my comments love the 36”, which I might look into for home, but I saw this not too long ago, so your video was perfect timing. We just switched this year to a Coleman with a grill and burner, but I’d like a small griddle. I like the accessory kit you included and your review was definitely helpful. It cleans up nice! I may put it on my radar. Thanks for sharing. If you all ever get bored stop by our channel.
My daughter got us one of these it is great the only drawback in s the small grease cup but she solved that with the bigger liner for the 22 inch griddle.
There is 4 of us so cooking a full pound of bacon will. But she still loves it after using those throwaway tins. She turns it longways so the end is under the drain hole.
We have the same Cuisinart Grill and love it but, after watching your video kind on the fence. Would love to see another update after you have used it for awhile. I am curious about how you have the quick connect for propane under your trailer. Can you share some additional info on that or the video on how to do it?
So far loving it, our RV came with the quick disconnect LP line, pretty easy to add and f it didn’t. Just some pile, a valve and QD fitting. We’ll keep ya posted as we go! Thanks for the support!
You can get one if you can find one. Walmart doesn’t have it on the website anymore. Amazon says it is unavailable. The Blackstone website says it is out of stock and only showed up during a search and in the product list.
I am really impressed with this little griddle. However, I don’t see it as a viable replacement for the gas grill. I believe steaks and chicken will do better on the grill. Meanwhile smash burgers and steak and cheese/Philly cheese steaks call for the griddle. I would carry both in that storage cubby. It all depends on what’s for Supper.
People not liking that it's nonstick aluminum need to understand it is designed for portability. So weight is considered in this design. If the griddle was made of steel it would add more weight. Also nonstick is easier to clean by wiping it than to pour water on a steel griddle. This griddle should be fine for occasional camping trips or to the park. If you want one for home use then the steel versions would be better. And for those who want the steel versions, you would be giving up the portability design. Whatever best works for you.
I have had this grill about a month and love it. I have had the 17" blackstone and hated it for camping. With the single burner I could never get it hot enough on just a cool night. I went to the 22 inch steel and while OK any wind and it would cool off fast and it is crazy heavy and a real pain to store in the camper. This 20 inch is perfect for us. It gets FAR hotter then even out old 22 because its an aluminum plate which also means its much lighter and easier to store. My only concern will is how long it will last being aluminum and the non stick coating
LOVE THIS CHANNEL SO MUCH, thank you. Get the blackstone burger press for the Teflon grills, it works awesome I bought this grill last month and after one weekend the heavy @ss 22" blackstone griddle was unloaded in a garage & will be given away to somebody. Pro's LOVE the light weight gets super hot compared to the 22 steel blackstone. Cooks steaks much better Wind does not bother it like the old grill. Super slick and SO EASY to clean Con's I had to buy new plastic stuff for the non-stick. SUPER Slick, I had to buy the silicone egg holders because when you fry an egg it runs away from you :) I HATE the clicker starter, in 1 week it quit sparking. So I bought a electronic one on amazon and installed it. I feel for $150 it should have come with an electronic igniter 1 month in and I love this grill so much more then the 22 steel blackstone. Thanks for your review and the seasoning tip for smash burgers.
3 Years ago I bought a grill/Griddle combo by Blackstone, just last night I cooked a lb of bacon, two chicken breast, sautéed some onions and finished with smash burgers, I only used the griddle side to do all this and still to this day, all it really does is steam the food, it has never gotten hot enough to sear anything, I’ve tried everything I can think of to no avail…..I’m left with the opinion that it just flat out sucks and it will never get hot enough to make proper seared flavourful food. Even when I sous Vide my chops and steaks, I try to finish searing them on the griddle and I’ve never gotten a good sear or even an acceptable sear. If I go for a good sear/colour on the chops or steaks, they will end up grossly overcooked. Not impressed with blackstone at all.
I like a burger, but seeing that burger bacon just makes me wanna eat a freaking salad and I’m not even into salad that much but so unhealthy. Great review! Thanks!
Absolutely - the 4 feet hold it up off the table. We've used it both on campground picnic tables covered with a plastic table cloth and on a white "Lifetime" folding plastic table.
@@saltytrips every blackstone I’ve had you are supposed to season it so it doesn’t rust and chip … they tell you that before you use it for your first time .. there is even QR codes that show you what to do … you just totally skipped that step like it was nothing so …….
@@kenneygaston6890 once again what makes you think aluminum with non-stick coating needs to be seasoned? Where in the history of non-stick surfaces has any of them needed to be seasoned? It’s almost like you skipped over that part like it was nothing so ……..
I've been using my new camp griddle for about a month. So far I like it, it handles the wind much better than my 22" does. My one complaint is the ignitor system is terrible. Its been replaced under warranty once and still only works about half the time. The spark is very weak. I'm going to replace it with a better quality after market ignitor.
Got one less than a month ago and handle already broke. Went to pick it up and literally entire griddle just dropped onto concrete floor. Handle cannot handle the weight of this. Returning and getting the normal 22in
I get thatost camp griddles will be used for the season and then stored, most people would ruin the rolled steel seasoning, but the non-stick coated aluminum really ruins this for me.

Looks similar to the size of an old-fashioned Coleman stove. Would be nice to have a cast iron surface instead of nonstick.
We love the nonstick aluminum cooking surface. No rust, no seasoning and super easy cleanup. We had enough silicone or nylon tools so we didn't need to buy the Blackstone set.
I love the design just wish they had one with just a regular steel surface. I haven't had success with a nonstick version in the past.
Non-stick was one of the big selling points for us
Yeah won’t rust
My regular on don't rust. You have to take care of them. @@ToddM452
Most Non stick has forever chemicals! No bueno
Nope. Non stick STICKS
Another great video. I was thinking about getting one for our summer RV trip to Idaho. After seeing this , I'm defiantly getting one!
Loving it so far, definitely saves more space than the old Blackstone.

I was all in on the new blackstone until you showed a non stick surface.
Well it is the ceramic titanium
So it’s not so bad
Could be alot worse nonstick
I prefer cast iron or steel carbon myself
Same here

Dude. Didn’t know this existed. Will get one asap. Keep posting. Very informative!

Need to add link to the griddle. Have not been able to find this model yet. We enjoy our Blackstone we have but is heavy and bulky for camping.
I thought i put one down there 🤔, this one is much lighter and compact, definitely RV friendly
Should be able to find it in the camping section at most Walmarts. I just bought the 17 inch model with the side burner and it is fantastic.

We just bought the 22 in Adventure ready grill not disappointed but it doesn't have a handle like yours does very heavy without handle
Can you do me a favor and measure the distance between the feet on the bottom? Looking for a small table to put this on in a space limited duck blind
LOOKS NICE BUT . im sold on butane coleman ,use it all the time.. this one i would recomend for family 3 to 7 members.
You should make a video on it 👍
I have the steel 22". I'm not interested in the non-stick. And some reports the griddle is aluminum, not steel.
Thanks for watching
How is the sear? The 17” adventure read is disappointing, while the 36” original rocks
Nice even sear, so far so good, any hiccups and i’ll post an update 👍

How's the wind resistance? The Suburban griddle that came with ours has huge gaps and it causes issues with cool spots in a light wind.
That’s what i was referring too in the video about Blackstone learning there lesson. No wind issues.

Try getting adjustable pressure hose to increase gas output. I have that on mine to get hotter temp.
Looks ok but you should wash it first. The top looks damaged as well. Thanks for the review.
We did wash it and the utensils before use, nothing is damaged on it.
At least you don’t have to worry about seasoning the griddle top.
Sure hope those tools are not plastic on that hot grill.

Buy a cast iron skillet. You'll be happier and it will last forever.

The nonstick surface and need for plastic tools is all I need to know. I won't be buying one unless an iron or steel cooking surface is available.
