About This Product
The Blackstone 1883 Original 28" Griddle is the griddle that started the flat top revolution in backyard cooking. With 470 sq in of cold-rolled steel cooking surface and two independently controlled H-shaped burners delivering 30,000 BTUs, you can cook breakfast for the whole family, smash burgers, hibachi-style stir fry, and everything in between — all at the same time. The rear grease management system channels grease away from the cooking surface into a removable cup, making cleanup a breeze. The powder-coated black steel frame is built to last, and the side shelf gives you extra prep space. Whether you're a griddle newbie or a seasoned flat top cook, the 1883 is the perfect size for most backyards.
