Note: This is comparing a new Char-Griller Flat Iron to a Blackstone that I purchased new in May of 2019. Some comments below seem to show that Blackstone has added some of these functions to their new griddles as well.
Great review. I’m headed to Menards to get me a Char Grill. Update .... 30 to 40 days later of having this I am constantly looking for a reason to cook on this griddle. This thing is actually fun to cook on. I have nothing bad to say.
I want to do my canning on this grill. Is there any reason that you can think of that that would not work. My motive is to keep the heat outside not in my house
I literally stood in Menards and watched this before making my decision and while I was watching, a couple came and started talking about how much they loved theirs so I went and purchased it and can hardly wait to use it. Thank you for this review.
I bought the Char-Griller and absolutely love it. I was simply not willing to spend extra $$ for the brand name, but after watching this comparison I think the Char-Griller is actually a better choice anyway! No regrets - thanks for the video.
Great Review, I just looked at a Char griller at Cabela's wanted to know the pros and cons between the BS an CG. I found what I was looking for in your video. I'll be buying a Char Griller this weekend. Thanks!
I bought a char griller about 2 weeks ago. I didn’t know char griller or black stone were a thing. I just went to menards and grabbed a griddle. After my friend says oh did you get a black stone and every TH-cam video griddle expert reppin black stone I thought I had made a mistake but honestly so far so good and now you’re making me feel a lot better. At least I know I’m in the ballpark as the black stone quality wise
I had no idea which one was better but Blackstone had the name. After your review I’m getting the Char Griller, better features. Thanks for a great video
I've been wanting to get a flat iron grill. Until today I was only looking at the Blackstone. But I ran across the Char Griller today at Menards, and it looks much nicer. I think I'll be buying one this week. Thanks for your video comparison.
I just purchased a char griller at Menards. I am thankful for this. Not that the blackstone isnt worth the money. I think I'll love my Char-Griller. thanks for this comparison
Char-Griller for the win. I placed an order for the Blackstone and then realized what a pain in the ass it would be to pull the griller out every time I needed to empty the grease tray since the back is against my deck. Front grease trap make much more sense. Cancelled the Blackstone and just received the Char-Griller. Some people order products just for the brand name...but this video shows that Char-Griller made a good product a whole lot better...and for less money.
I purchased a Char-Griller Flat Iron last summer and I have absolutely no complaints. It is fun to cook on and I’m always looking for an excuse to cook on it.
@@lestggras long you keep well seasoned, it shouldn’t. First seasoning will determine how good your cooking sessions will go. 3-6 coats should do. The more you cook on it the better.
@raquelgarcia7424 we ended getting the Char-Griller and love it. I agree, as long as you season it good and wipe clean and oil after every use, it works perfect; no issues w rust. 😃
I have a Blackstone but after your review, I like the char-Griller a little better. Especially the igniter at each burner and the closed in fire box. Thanks for the information.
I have been looking hard at the Blackstone, but was impressed with the Char Griller after looking at one yesterday at Menards. I'm going back and purchasing the Char Griller.
I like the video. I was indecisive on which flat top grill to purchase but this made it a little easier for me to decide ,thanks .I love your yard with the swimming pool in background nice set up bub.
Any difference in the cooking surfaces? I believe the Blackstone uses carbon steel vs. the Char-Griller uses stainless steel. Are there advantages/disadvantages between these two cooking surfaces?
Thanks for the review. I didn't realize CharGriller made a flat top. A smart move on them to get there product "out there". Congratulations to you for being "chosen". I would like to see the difference (if any) with the reinforcement on the undersurface of the griddle and the sturdiness of the cart.
I watched this video before I bought the char griller. I had my mind set on a black stone. Menards had a great deal on the char griller. Got it for 299 after sale and rebate. I like the ignition system much better on the char griller. Nicer and much cheaper than the black stone. Thanks for the video😃
I have a 28@ and a 22” blackstone but the review of the char grilled is impressive. You did not give the measurement but one of my biggest complaints about Blackstone is they build the griddled with the legs too short. Also the rear grease Managment system is a pain if you have it where it is not all that accessible to take out to empty’s Kind if like the front tray removal on the char grilled. The back tray is like out of sight and next thing you know the darn thing is full and overflowing .
I absolutely love my new char griller flat iron griddle! First cook on Tuesday was fantastic, marinated beef, peppers, garlic butter potatoes and grilled asparagus 👍
Chargriller charcoal grill and flatiron owner here. I am a chef and have cooked on both. Some of my clients had invested in a flatiron to make my job easier by not having to haul my chargriller to their homes and also for them to use. I prefer my chargriller 1000%. 🙌🏽
I picked up the Chari-griller Flat Iron this past weekend and am very impressed with it. Very high quality. I love the included lid, the magnetic handle and I definitely prefer the placement of the drip pan.
@@RobsBackyardBBQ So far: bacon & cheese infused hamburgers; sukiyaki chicken, sliced potatoes and zucchini; full breakfast feast with bacon, hash browns, eggs & toast; and next up is chicken and shrimp stir fried rice. I am absolutely loving the Char-Griller Flat Iron. And I just ordered the 17" Blackstone portable version for camping. How in the world did it take me this long to learn about this kind of grill???
The only thing you didn't mention... you lose just a bit of real estate with the grease "hole" in the griddle itself. Not sure what size hole that is. Very detailed review that has me now thinking Char-Griller. After almost a year of ownership which do you like better?
I used to own the Blackstone model that is in this video and I hated the rear grease trap. I'd much prefer the front location because it was easy to lose food in the rear trap as I was scooping up the food to flip it over. I'd always have to be careful about using the back wall to help load up a spatula if I didn't feel like have one in both hands. And perhaps the biggest negative of the Blackstone is that if you don't get it covered before a rain shower it will fill up and overflow the grease tray. Even with a lid on, the grease tray is still exposed. With the tray completely under the cook top it will not fill with rain water as long as the lid is on.
I bought the Members Mark Pro Series 5 burner griddle for $299!!!! Delivered free to my door! You won’t find a higher quality griddle at that value anywhere! Great griddle! And it comes with a soft cover!
Man, great job. 2023 .... char griller is on sale at Lowes. This video pretty much made up my mind to save $300 .... I think it's well worth the savings since Im a basic griller.
We just bought the 28" Char-Griller and I love it. It cost a total of 215 with the lid and the Blackstone 28" was 197 at Walmart and an additional 82 for the lid. I'm very happy with the Char-Griller Flat Iron!
A month ago the 36" Blackstone at our local Walmart was 297.00 including the lid. I kept shopping around and watching reviews on griddles for a week and when I went to buy a Blackstone at Walmart the price had jumped to 327.00. That did include the lid though. The guy at Walmart said they're going up again this summer. I can't comment on any other brand ( although the Char Griller looks great ) but I love my Blackstone. Another important thing to me was the Blackstone 36" is 60,000 BTU's as opposed to Camp Chef which is only 48,000 BTU's.
I wondered that too. I just put together my new Chargriller and although my wife thought it should be installed like this fellas, I put it together the flat side up because I didn't want it to trap rain water, debris, etc.
I have the char griller, no complaints. Got it on sale about $80 cheaper than blackstone, plus I don't like the grease tray sticking out the back. My son in law has the blackstone and complains the wind blows out the flame often, even when using it in the garage.
NIce! Actually, I just came inside from stripping the old seasoning off the char-griller one in this video. About to start re-seasoning it now. Thanks for watching! :)
Wondering the age difference. I have a new Blackstone 36". The firebox is enclosed and I can light each burner independently. So it looks like they are just about neck and neck. I prefer the rear grease trap because I've lost some hash browns down that whole in the griddle of the Char-Griller. That's what my smaller griddle has. But really not a big deal, I learned to avoid it. I'm saying they are neck and neck and a person would be lucky to have either one. Thanks for the comparison.
I lost a few items down the grease trap on my Chargriller when I first bought it. I place a spatula right on top of hole and problem solved. I want all my food. lol
Seems like the char griller has a few better features for convenience. I own a members mark griddle and absolutely love it. Similar design to the char griller with the higher shelves. The higher shelves are a negative bc they are even with the griddle so they get super hot. I was hoping you were going to fire them up and compare that. Also what is the price comparison?
Hey Kyle - I've used it a couple times so far and haven't noticed the heat difference yet. Price is about the same roughly. On their site, the char-griller is $329. I believe the blackstones are usually just below $300.
Char griller is by far the most slept on griddle on the market. no need to pay another $200 for the other guys, char griller has better features and design if you ask me. Sold on the char griller 100%
I am in the market for one. I have seen reviews and actual demonstrations where because of that airflow in the Blackstone that the wind can just put the flame out
Thanks for watching! Yeah, i've had that happen on the blackstone on my deck in the past, though it can get pretty windy here. There's less space I believe on the char-griller for the wind to get in.
I got the 3-burner Char-Griller a couple of weeks ago. It has an attached hard cover that just rotates to the back and out of the way. It also has wind deflectors on the sides and back. Quality is impressive. It was $299, but I cook primarily for my wife and I, so the 3-burner meets my needs. 👏👏
Very good comparison. I, too, recommend you lose the annoying, intrusive background music and include a price comparison. It would also be helpful to know how Char-Grillers list of available accessories compares to Blackstone’s extensive offerings.
Good job, Rob. But I don't see anything about the Char-Griller that would make me want to get rid of my Blackstone. It is nice for you that Char-Griller deems you are popular enough to send you a Flat Iron for your review. Congratulations!
You are comparing an older version of blackstone to a newer chargriller. Look at the newer blackstones. I have the pro series with drawers and love it.
Hey Gary - thanks for watching! I was comparing two griddles in the same price range. I bought the comparable blackstone at the beginning of last summer - before the pros came out.. Are you saying the current ~$300 bare bones 36" blackstones have more features than the one I have? If so, that's awesome - really glad they improved the design. I wasn't aware.
Great review, I've had the Char griller for around 6 months or so both great products there is no argument there. It all comes down to what you want. There were a few things that I didn't like about the Blackstone. The ignitors, and burner knobs. I've cooked on both temperature is easier to control on the Char griller, and it has less hot and cold spots than the Blackstones that I have used.
I believe that the shelves are higher on the newer 36 inch and igniters on each orifice. Paper towel holder and i believe a trash bag holder. Check out video from not your average tech dad. No trash bag holder.
Hey Gary - i'm not against blackstone.. I've loved em the past few years. Are you sure that's the base model that has the igniters on each burner and includes the paper towel holder and trash bag holder? If so, that's good to know.
The not your average tech dad said around $300.00. Did you watch the unboxing video. Folding shelves. No trash bag holder but folding paper towel holder.
lol I can see that view :) They're literally the same thing. Biggest difference is the location of the grease exit. Thanks for watching man! You'll see i use both in my videos.
Dude compare that piece of shit of a grill they sent you to a newer model of the Blackstone Griddle. No comparison trust me. Blackstone griddles rock..

@MrMattiezaya2 I have made breakfast, lunch, and dinner on this, and I really like it a lot. Thanks for checking in.
@@MrMattiezaya2 ty for asking I'm going with this too better pan imo like the magnets and seems better built tbh

Great video man. Just curious, are the griddles built the same? Or is one noticeably beefier? Like reinforced ribs on the bottom or something.

Another selling point for the Char-Griller is it comes with a hard cover, that's a
$60-80 accessory with the Blackstone.
I think that's only with the 'premium' 36".

Go for it! Best flatiron.
Awesome review, boss! 👍 i go with Char-Grill
Got the char griller at menards. Love it!
I have chargriller and I luv it. Cost is less and with wider base seems more stable.
Would be sweet if both had leveling system but whatever
Would an electric griddle be more expensive?
Wish you would had shown the underneath of the griddle tops to see how they disburse the heat evenly or not.
Agreed, that would have been nice.

Those stats are all well and good, but you don't touch on the important info such as how hot the griddles get and how low they can go...
I think I want a Char Griller!
Cool video but you didn’t mention price but that’s ok I’ll look it up
Same as the others. Menards…here I come. Thanks for the great review.
Falling asleep, listening to this guy holy shit
Totally doesn't tell me how well it cooks compared to the black stone...
Char-Griller! Now check out the Camp Chef. I think it beats them both. It's called the flat top 600!
I’m looking for one that is made in the USA instead of in China. The camp chef is designed in the USA but manufactured in China
How much is the char griller
I believe it's same as the Blackstone - around $300 unless on sale.
Menards has it for $269 right now....char griller
Great video
Thanks for watchin Doug!
Char Griller seems to have Blackstone beat.
Good job, Rob. But I don't see anything about the Char-Griller that would make me want to get rid of my Blackstone. It is nice for you that Char-Griller deems you are popular enough to send you a Flat Iron for your review. Congratulations!

Char-Griller for me, it looks of better quality.
The Char-griller is less expensive. Almost half the price of the Blackstone. Also, both are Made in the USA!🇺🇸

lol.. yeah, idunno man - i'm not sure about having to plug my griddle into electric :) I have a little air fryer already that we use quite a bit.
Also it seems BS has done a better job of advertising their product
I believe that the shelves are higher on the newer 36 inch and igniters on each orifice. Paper towel holder and i believe a trash bag holder. Check out video from not your average tech dad. No trash bag holder.
Again, mine is the Pro and yes, it has the paper towel holder and the trash bag holder.
Hey Gary - i'm not against blackstone.. I've loved em the past few years. Are you sure that's the base model that has the igniters on each burner and includes the paper towel holder and trash bag holder? If so, that's good to know.
The not your average tech dad said around $300.00. Did you watch the unboxing video. Folding shelves. No trash bag holder but folding paper towel holder.
The char griller
Gaining a 1/2 inch . Hey that 1/2 inch matters where it counts.
Cooking vegetables on a griddle
I have never heard a bad review from someone who received the product for free. Just a coincidence most likely...lol
lol I can see that view :) They're literally the same thing. Biggest difference is the location of the grease exit. Thanks for watching man! You'll see i use both in my videos.
Char griller better
Turn off the music in background. 👎🏼👎🏼
Soothing I like makes it less dull my guy
Another worthless review. How does it cook? How hot can it get?
Dude compare that piece of shit of a grill they sent you to a newer model of the Blackstone Griddle. No comparison trust me. Blackstone griddles rock..
opinions vary
