Blackstone 28" Gas Griddle with Hood, 34,000 BTU Two-Zone Flat Top Barbecue
Blackstone 28" Griddle with Hood
Breakfast, lunch and dinner on one plate: the Blackstone 28 inch gas griddle with hood is a mid-size flat top for households who cook outdoors often but lack room for a 36 inch model. Two independent heating zones deliver 34,000 BTU of searing heat across 520 square inches of steel. The hood protects the plate from the weather and doubles as a basting dome for steaming and melting cheese.
Two Controlled Zones Beat a Basic Grill
Many compact barbecues use a single burner and open bars, so you get one temperature and plenty of food lost to the flames. Blackstone's flat raw steel top keeps everything on the surface, and its two independently adjustable heating zones let you sear on one side and hold food on the other. The rear grease management system draws fat away from the cooking area, which makes clean-up much quicker. Dual foldable side shelves add magnetic tool strip storage, and the hood earns its keep twice, as weather protection and as a dome for steaming.
Why Cooks Choose the 28 Inch Model
- Two heating zones, 34,000 BTU: give independent control over each half of the plate for mixed cooking.
- Hood doubles as basting dome: steams vegetables, melts cheese on burgers and helps cook food evenly.
- Rear grease management: channels fat away from the plate and into a collection point for faster cleaning.
- Foldable side shelves: provide prep space and a magnetic tool strip, then fold away when you are finished.

FAQs
Q: How do I stop the griddle plate from rusting?
A: The cooking surface is raw steel, so Blackstone says it must be seasoned before and after cooking. Seasoning builds a protective layer that prevents rust and improves the non-stick feel over time.
Q: What do I need to connect before the first cook?
A: The gas regulator and hose are not included, so you will need a suitable regulator, hose and gas bottle. Once connected, the two zones are adjusted independently from the front control knobs.
Q: When will the griddle be delivered?
A: We pack it promptly and hand it to a dependable courier service, which provides quick UK delivery to your door. Tracking details arrive by email so you can plan for the 39 kg parcel.
