Blackstone Portable Gas Grill/Griddle Review

Blackstone Portable Gas Grill-Griddle with KitThe Blackstone portable gas grill with griddle kit and carry bag/cover is everything you want in a small gas grill, with 260 square inches of grilling area. The 15.25 inch x 17 inch griddle is big enough to cook four 6 inch pancakes or ten or twelve 4 inch pancakes. That’s a lot for a portable grill, but the 12,000 BTU output is what’s really amazing for a portable grill with a one-pound disposable gas can. You’re going to love the easy setup for tailgate parties, hunting trips, or just about any outdoor party or road trip. Just pull into the camping area, pull out the Blackstone, and have dinner started in minutes. Or, breakfast… with pancakes! Your family will love you for it.

The Griddle Kit

The Blackstone portable gas grill comes with a griddle kit and that’s got people raving about this portable grill. This amazing 17 inches by 15.25 inches griddle is perfect for fundraisers for the kid’s Little League or Ballet troop. You can buy one for less than $150 and make that back with the first pancake breakfast. In addition, besides the carrying bag/cover, it comes with two liquid syrup or ketchup dispensers, two stainless-steel spatulas, and one stainless-steel chopper or scraper. These are professional restaurant grade tools, just like you see used on the grill. Oh, we mustn’t forget the cookbook, which will help you make mouthwatering Lemon-blueberry pancakes or Blue Cheese Sliders.
