The Blackstone 17 Inch Tabletop Griddle is perfect for on the go or for a small group. Blackstone Adventure With this Adventure Ready unit, you can easily cook nine hamburgers, twelve eggs, or four steaks at a time; plus, so much more. The H-shaped burner distributes the 12,000 BTUs evenly across the cold rolled steel griddle top.
All of the griddles we selected have burners capable of providing the output needed to reach high cooking temperatures and evenly heat the cooking surface. In addition to being more compact, this 17-inch griddle weighs just 30 pounds, less than half the weight of Blackstone’s 28-inch models. Its small size allows it to fit in a trunk with plenty of room for other gear. It also runs off a small 16-ounce propane canister, so there’s no need to tow along a 20-pound tank. Though its cooking surface is smaller at 267 square inches, it’s still large enough to grill up to 10 burgers.
As such, Blackstone designs many of its flat-top grills to be portable, including its full-size models. While the most portable options are its tabletop grills, which are compact and weigh around 30 pounds, many of its 28-inch and 36-inch models are also portable. At 28 inches, it has just as much cooking surface as Blackstone’s higher-end griddles. Like those pricier models, it also boasts two burners and lights with an electric ignition. Without the hood and extra side table, this model is lighter than other 28-inch Blackstone griddles at 71 pounds, making it easier to fold up and transport to the next big game.
Blackstone specializes in griddles, which consist of a smooth cast-iron surface. Grills, in comparison, use cooking grates, which allow grease and food particles to fall through them into the grill body below. Griddles are more versatile than grills because they can cook foods you could never put on a grill, including eggs, pancakes, and stir-fries. There’s a hood, a large storage shelf, two ample side tables for food prep, hooks for grilling tools, a magnetic strip for utensils, and even a paper towel rack and bottle opener.
The rule of thumb for flat-top grills is that the grill should have around 60 BTUs per square inch of cooking surface. With all the equipment required for camping, hauling a full-size Blackstone may not be practical. It features the same cast-iron cooking surface found on full-size Blackstone grill models but on a much smaller scale. However, there are no returns/refunds for custom cut orders. Please note that custom cuts, international orders, and out of stock items will experience longer lead times for shipment. Once your order has shipped you will receive a shipment notification email, if you provided us with an email address.
Blackstone’s smaller tabletop models, which have around 300 square inches of cooking space, are suitable for up to four people. Keep in mind that Blackstone’s griddles can take up a fair amount of real estate on a deck or patio, so be sure to consider the griddle’s overall size when shopping for one. Its 36-inch model, for example, measures more than 5 feet wide.
