Know before you buy
The Omnivore plate is designed for better heat retention and more even distribution across the entire surface. It also features built-in wind guards to help maintain consistent temperatures even when cooking in breezy outdoor conditions.
Yes, this model is compatible with the Blackstone natural gas conversion kit, which is sold separately. You will need to install the kit to safely switch your fuel source.
The rear grease management system features a catch cup that collects drippings as you scrape the griddle surface. Simply wait for the unit to cool, remove the cup, and dispose of the grease according to your local waste guidelines.
Yes, each of the four burners has its own control knob. This allows you to create different temperature zones simultaneously, such as searing meat on one side while keeping vegetables warm or toasting buns on the other.
The unit is equipped with four industrial-strength wheels that make it relatively easy to reposition on flat surfaces. However, given its size and steel construction, it is best suited for stable, level ground.
This model includes a hard cover that protects the cooktop from the elements when the griddle is not in use. It is recommended to keep the cover on to prevent rust and debris buildup on the steel surface.
