The Completely Redesigned 2024 Blackstone Pro Series 36" Griddle 

Bobbi! I know. So they never came out with a cover for that one? That's a bummer. I'm glad to hear you are enjoying it!

Jesse! What a great name. Our youngest son has your name. Thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching!

Nah. It was up front and drained on the right. I have it right now and it sucks.

No way. The back is the best

The back is terrible I agree

Im actually getting a different brand because of that reason

That's why I'm planning to change to different brand.

Yes, lots of new models. Keep in mind (for perspective) that in 2023 Blackstone had 5 models of griddles and pizza ovens on the market. Always more. Always bigger. Always better!

Will you be reviewing the 28 pro series?

I had the same issue. It doesn't go as far towards you as you think. It goes back in further!

Hi there - All Blackstone hoods are designed for cooking...every one of them. Unlike the Blackstone Hard Cover, which is ONLY for storage, the hoods are for cooking. Whether you are basting eggs, steaming veggies, or melting cheese, that is what the hoods are made for. Thanks for watching & Happy New Year!!!

@@praisehisawesomename thanks for the clarification!

Hi, Tammy. It's built that way to prevent the towels from blowing off in the wind. You just twist it on BUT......BUT......BUT, I heard the factory put the wrong piece on it so it doesn't work well. Give Customer Service a call and explain your issue. My guess is that they can give you a replacement that works better. Let me know how it works out!

You're killing me, brother. How many years have you been watching!!! :) Here are "a few" of my snowstorm and cold weather cooking videos for you. God bless! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xiGrO4zs1xI.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mU_NHar0csw.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MNNXlhFLTYU.html

@@praisehisawesomename Actually, about 2 years, maybe 2.5… only started using the 28” in 2020, starting july(?)… my apologies… I know you cook in “cold”; just HOW cold is *COLD* to you before you go, “Naah! Not doin’ it today.” You can’t be in too much cold either anymore, my friend. You and I both have a cardiac issue. Just wanted to know so: a) I don’t break the griddle (warping); b) I get good food results (the surface heat effective enough); and, I guess, c) seeing what your threshold was/is now to cook in “extreme” cold temps… Edited to let you know, I saw your first link… admission I never saw that tone; possibly did not start watching until spring 2021 (at least, subscribed to channel)… I saw it snowing with your pancakes…. I will try to weather the weather… no pun intended… Will watch the other two momentarily… Second link, 5 years… didn’t have 28” until midsummer 2020 or later… The third one, remember vaguely… Thank you, Todd … mea culpa for not remembering…

Steve! Half of California moved to Colorado and Texas over the past few years. I guess you can move out as well and I'll hook you up!!!!! I appreciate the laughs. Thank you so much for watching. Happy New Year!

In a nutshell. All Blackstone griddle tops/heat/cooking capabilities are identical. You'll see different looks (aesthetics) at different retailers. That's a unique thing about Blackstone. Lots of different options at the bigger retailers. Understand Blackstone has 70 different griddle and pizza oven models on the market. I'm just a guy that cooks and entertains. Hopefully that helps!

Yes, it is a hood. That’s what it’s made for. Remember though, these are griddles. This isn’t a grated grill. Lots of people that don’t have them get confused and they think that you’re going to put a pork loin on there for three hours and close the hood. Yes, though, the hoods are designed to be closed and used for cooking, whether you’re melting cheese, basting, an egg, steaming, broccoli, etc. Remember all Griddle cooking is really quick. Most of your recipes are going to be cooked in 10 minutes or less.thanks for watching!

Thanks, Nate. No, they did away with my discount code at least 5 years ago. It didn't make sense anymore because I started working directly for Blackstone. Plus, Walmart became our largest vendor and a 10% off code wouldn't rival the kind of deals you'd be able to get at Walmart, Lowe's, etc. I sure do appreciate you watching. Happy New Year!

@@praisehisawesomename well, I’ll always watch “ the griddle warrior” who loves the Lord! Praise the Lord and keep the griddle hot my friend!

The 38k btu has new Omni griddle top. Heats up faster. Uses less gas. Built in wind guards.

I know the exact griddle you are talking about. I used it for a long time and I have friends that say it's their favorite!! Thanks for watching!

Absolutely! And, I forgot to mention that they even have a little plug on the bottom left side for you to run your natural gas line through!

Thanks for watching!

I'm glad I was able to get you the info. Thanks again for watching!

Incredible deal. Congrats, Dewayne!

That's a great model. I gave mine to my neighbor who later inherited a few others from me so he has since regifted it as well. I appreciate you watching!

Don! Very cool. How's the weather?

Which kind did you add to yours?

@@kanyeeastlolz They were just some I found off Amazon.

Hey there - Good question. I'll give you answers from a few different perspectives to see if it helps you out. Notice you never see me using the Air Fryer Combos anymore? I haven't used one in a video in a few years. Why? They work very well. I just found that I didn't use the Air Fryer much outdoors. I used the griddle only. The Air Fryers performed great but I just didn't air fry when I griddles. I know people, many of them, who use their Air Fryer Combo with the Air Fryers like crazy. I just didn't do much with them. I griddled way more and rarely used them. That's one way of looking at it. You might be different. You can pick an air fryer up anywhere and just use it outdoors if you want to. Blackstone has so many different air fryer offerings and they're always coming out with more (stay tuned). That's a few ways of looking at it. I hope that helps. That's just my experience though. You can also be on the lookout. I know Blackstone is supposed to have a new 36" Griddle coming out soon that has an air fryer/rotating pizza oven inside it as well. Like I said, there are so many options and others coming out all the time. I hope you have a great weekend!

Thanks boss! Yeah I have a Ninja Foodi, may get the new 10qt dual basket and just set it on a side shelf and still be money ahead. Seen a ton of people with mixed reviews on the built in air fryers. Thanks for your reply! I actually ordered and assembled this 2024 unit before even seeing your reply! 😂 seasoned and 1 cook in today with Philly cheesesteaks. Thanks for your time and dedication in your videos! … love this thing so much I’m eyeballing the prep station! Keep up the good work!

Sweet!

@@praisehisawesomename use it with our camper

Tell me about it. I just bought this one from Costco. The grease doesn’t even go into the trap. They sent me a grease trap extension but it was pretty crappy. I had to make notches in the frame to slide the griddle back further to reach the bucket. Besides that the griddle is awesome. Love how evenly it heats up.

Turns out it does not stick to the shelf.

Magnets do not stick to stainless steel so probably not.

Nice, that's the most popular griddle in America!

Sweet! Thanks for watching, Rob!

Thanks! It's unbelievable, isn't it. Stay tuned for MORE!!!!

Wow. You're building an army!! Thanks for watching!!

Howdy, neighbor. Happy Griddling!!! Thanks for watching!

You must be new to my channel? I"ve been on RU-vid for 16 years and have worked DIRECTLY with Blackstone for over 10 years. Welcome or move on. Your choice. Happy New year!

The 28" Adventure Ready is a great griddle, Curtis! I've used it across the country. Have a happy New Year!

The new Omni top heats up faster. Uses less gas. Heat is evenly across it. They had to decrease the btus. It would get to hot you couldn’t cook on it.

thank you. So, all the new omnivore griddle plates are 38k BTU regardless of where you buy them?@@DareDog.

@@7kdawgddawg yes.

The versions with side burners have side burners. Blackstone has about 70 different models on the market!

If you go to the Blackstone RU-vid channel, you'll see me cooking on it for 3/4 of my weekly videos sine January.

It sure is sleek! Thanks for watching!

Thank YOU for watching!

I remember that model!! Not as many folks have that model. When you mentioned that it immediately took me back to a demo I did in Texas where the store had a few pallets of that model and they sold out during my demo. Good memories. Happy Griddling and thanks for watching!

I have that same one with the front grease system. I wouldn't trade it for anything else!

Yes, that’s the point of the hood. Don’t get it confused with the Blackstone Hard Covers which came out before the hoods, and their only purpose was for storage. All Blackstone attached hoods are for cooking whether you are steaming vegetables, melting, cheese, basting eggs, etc. Having said that, if you are new to Griddle, cooking, most meals are going to be cooked in 10 minutes or less. So don’t think of it as a pellet grill or are you gonna close the hood and leave something cooking in there for hours. Hopefully that makes sense. Please subscribe and you’ll see me closing the hood plenty of times. Happy new year.

@@praisehisawesomename Most hoods specifically state that you cant cook with the hood down.

Hi, Pete!

It is sleek, SK! I hope you have a happy New Year!

Hope you have a happy new year too, hope you make it my way on the Blackstone tour this year.

Hi there! That particular pellet grill/griddle combo is a Lowe's unit. As the company grew and grew there were too many models for any one person to promote/specialize in. A few years ago they moved Hussey and Nate to Lowe's models and I stayed as the Walmart/Adventure Ready rep, if you will. I have not used the Lowe's model.

Thanks for watching & for all the comments, Garry!!!! I sure do appreciate it!

Good question. No, it’s not getting hot down there. All the Pro Series Griddles since day 1 have heat baffles under the burners to prevent that from happening.

Wowsers!!! First off, Happy Birthday, Dustin!!!!! Lastly, enjoy that new griddle!!

You can't go wrong with that. It's the #1 selling griddle in the world and the griddle that I've cooked the most on over the years! Thanks for watching, Matthew!!

No really. The culinary series ones were also a plain matte black and they didn't have the cabinets. If anything, you can see some comparison between this and the Patio Series in aesthetics.

Hi there - The original Pro is a great griddle. My father-in-law still has it! In case you haven't noticed, PRICES FOR EVERYTHING on earth went up about 3 years ago. You should check out my videos for the Blackstone Leggero. Just under $300 and it cooks pizzas absolutely just as well as the big pizza oven. God bless!

I just looked at the blackstone site and model 2154 is $1,000 (down from 1200). I don't know if that's the original or not. I don't see any bbq units, which is what I am looking for, though.

That is another model. That was called the Range Top Combo. It was also a Pro Series member along with the Pro Series 36 and the Pro Series 28. That model was discontinued at Walmart, I believe. You can now by the newest version of your dream griddle at the Blackstone website: blackstoneproducts.com/products/28-xl-griddle-w-rangetop-pizza-oven-bundle

Same size. Same cover!!!!!!! In fact, I just opened a box (same box with previous model photo) and it's a perfect fit!

I think that cover was originally designed for the original pro series with just the flat cover. I have that cover on last year's model and it fits kinda. Little too short on the rear portion. It still does a great job protecting my griddle.
