I’m definitely get all of these, I am in the condo and you can’t use gas, the fact that I could grill in the kitchen or on my patio it’s a win-win. Not to mention, you can basically cook everything on that thing at once.
@@darrinhartford many.... it takes over 25 min to get to even 450 degrees. Then just toss on cool water. It warps the pan for about 2 min (it comes back down), and then it ools off to less than 1/2 (about 200ish). Then forger about it getting back up to temp. You won't even barely boil your food. I have videos as proof if you need. It is absolutely garbage. I returned it for a refund. Blackstone admitted to this issue and still has yet to resolve. My guess is it's the most wattage you can push through those burners at a 110 outlet. It would need a 220 to do as gas would. If you use it for pancakes.... it'll he ok. If you want to do stir fry or anything with cold protein. Forget it.
Thanks for the comment.. That's great.. If you find a good solution for the grease tray opening keep me posted.. I've seen people recommend scrapers. I've also seen a company called griddle goalies.. Which they don't currently have a unit for the E-Series.. Just trying to find the best feasible option..
I feel like for bigger fry jobs like bacon and burgers I'd still want to do outside. I know it has a cover but still, that shit goes everywhere. I can park my car 30ft from my outdoor griddle when I do bacon Swiss burgers and yet somehow still I can see little grease spots on my windshield. No way I'll cook something like that inside my house. Now for other, less grease poppy kind of stuff, like Japanese, this might be perfect. I do like it, it's pretty awesome.
I just bought one and I was checking who had a video review, so your was the second one that assured me it was going to be a good grill, also about the grease drain I will try to make a metallic mesh (thingy) just to allow the grease to drain and retain the food, I let you know f it worked lol, my grill should arrive next week.
@@CollinsFamilyAdventures I got my Griddle !! and I cooked red potatoes cut in 2 inches, to prevent the food from falling in the back I sacrifice my small strainer mesh , streched it to fit the aperture and problem solved, but still to be optimized I did it as a quick fix :D , the grill is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn’t know Blackstone has a Electric griddle. Mind blowing 🤯. I own a Blackstone 36” griddle with air fryer combo and I love it. I even took it to house parties and its amazing. I did big cooks for family and they all loved the food. The electric Blackstone would be awesome for inside cooks. I gotta get me one of these next. Thanks for review.
Yes indeed, inside cooking is about 90% of the usage for mine, although when it's really windy outside and your OG BlackStone is having some troubles, get out the electric, it'll save the day.. Only downside for me is I can't use my tools like I'm an hibachi chef.. Well you can but plastic hitting on titanium ceramic coating doesn't sound as cool as steel hitting on steel.. Hope you enjoy!!
Great review i just purchased the 22" from Walmart, and i tried your hack about cutting the spatula down and inserting it in the drain opening. I'm disappointed as the opening on mine is much smaller than yours. Do you think Blackstone heard everyone yelling about the food going down the drain and decided to shrink the opening on newer versions?
I just received my 22” e series and was wondering if you have put aluminum trays or pots on it to cook? I seen where other people owning the BS propane was frying with oil in cast iron aluminum pots and like heating chili. Would that not mess up the top? Thank you
So far I've used aluminum trays with no issues.. I've used ones almost as big as the entire surface to heat up baked beans. Works great.. Not sure about anything else. I also don't move while it's on there so I won't scratch it.. Hope this helps..
A friend and I were talking about this exact issue. And he is going to go with 2 - 17in to give them more square inch cooking space.. my only complaint was that is finding two separate outlets on different breakers as I have noticed it popping gfi's in my camper as well as breakers.. but once we got our power situated running two of them was a pretty awesome deal.. Hope you subscribe and stay tuned as we'll be doing a video utilizing two of them together in the next week or so..
@@CollinsFamilyAdventures I am planning on getting another 17”. I also have a 30amp x two 15amp adapter (dog bone) so I can run 2 griddles or other appliances and not plug into my rig.
One thing I am not hearing anything about is when you close the top and re-open it where does all the condensation run-off when the lid it open? Is there gutter than then diverts it into the greece tray?
No gutter.. To be honest with you I hardly never close the lid when Im cooking.. When I did, I've never paid attention to where the condensation goes.. Sorry if this doesn't help at the moment.. But next time I cook bacon with the unit, I will definitely check it out and try to reply back to this thread..
When using it indoors how is the smell inside. It's about like grilling on a foreman or stove top? I like the idea of having a griddle top to make Habatchi but was concerned about smoke, smell and grease popping around.
I would say it's no different than cooking normally on the stove top or any other device that you prefer to cook off of.. as far as grease splatter, I find it very minimal. I did make a video about the common concerns and questions.. I'd recommend checking it out as it might be beneficial for you before you buy one..
The bars represent the surface temperature gauge.. 3/4 of them are white and 1/4 of them or orange.. Stay tuned as I'm going to do a video on temperatures of the surface..
If you answered this in the video or to someone else that asked I apologize but do you have to do any kind of burn off before the first cook out of the box didn't know if there was any factory stuff you want to get rid of first. Thanks
The Spatulas are ok. My main issue is the tongs have a huge gap at the end which leads two items not being able to be picked up or dropped if you do pick it up.. Specifically bacon.. Thanks for the comment ..
There both great!! Welcome to the E-series family.. We use the 17in when were camping and the 22in at home.. Made some smash burgers last night with American Waygu on the 17in and was told the best burger ever.. Hope you have as much success with your griddle as I have been.. Good Luck and Enjoy!!
I made a video that kinda goes over the heat surface and temperatures.. Its not perfect, and has a few questionable issues, but still overall a great grill!!
@@CollinsFamilyAdventures Thank you! I should have been more specific with my question though…… what is the height of just the grill with the lid closed (not including the stand)? Thanks!
They call them prep pans.. Not sure what Blackstone intended them for. But I'll take my burger smasher and place it there, so grease doesn't get anywhere and any other tools that might be nastified..
Won't sear as good as a steel unit.. But does my smash burgers just fine with a nice crust.. I look at it as a specialized tool. Couldn't do specialized cooks just like the steel units can do.. I wouldn't cook a steak on either of them as I prefer charcoal grills.. As far as cooking, breakfast and smashburgers. It's perfect for us
We've used this griddler for a variety of items including steak, fish, vegetables ruclips.net/user/postUgkxMcXT6_MuT0hB3ejyGQQHaeof9bwoWPUf and mushrooms and it's been great! Gets that great smokey flavor when using high heat or sear. The grill works amazingly simple and very low smoke for what it is. Heat gets up fairly quick, especially on closed position. The griddler side is fairly simple, better for eggs and pancakes rather than any cooking. Use the flat plates with the grill side if needed.Cleanup is easy and having heat on both sides is great for cooking a large amount or panini press.This definitely gets hot though so be careful with the sides.
The E-series grills get up too 500ish degrees. I have tested the grill and the temperature surfaces in another video. Feel free to check it out, as it should give you a better piece of mind about the surface temperature
No.... absolutely not. I will be the only honest person here. It's a pile of garbage. It took over 25 min to even get to 400 degrees. Now the kicker.... I threw on some water.... yes cool water. It cools it down almost instantly to 200 degrees or less (not to mention it warps and the corner lifts about 3" and then drops back down when Temps chill). From there it NEVER heats back up. It took 10 min to evaporate 1 cup of water. So at best.... you are barely poaching your steaks on it. I returned this pile IMMEDIATELY! I have a series of videos to prove it if you need
Am i doing something wrong? My griddle loses a lot of heat when i put anything on it. And it takes for ever to reach cooking temperature. It does it all the time. Can someone tell me if i am doing something wrong.
What's your starting temp.. Is item your cooking frozen?. Are you fully loading the griddle? Are you setting both zones exactly the same temp? Mine do tend to lose heat, but depending on what I'm cooking, i usually can maintain..
@@CollinsFamilyAdventures usually I try to cook meats at room temperature. I find super cold meat drops it a lot. I also try to have both sides the same temp.
I always cook food at room temperature, never have a problem with temperature going down. Yes, putting cold food will definitely do that, and you sacrifice flavor and texture when you do. It doesn't take much time to let your food get to room temp to achieve food nirvana
When putting it together did you verify nothing got in between the unit and the griddle.. I don't remember any weird noises or smells.. might want to call tech support on that issue.. Would hate for something to go south on you..
It actually does fairly well. I personally think that it minimizes smoke compared to cooking on a skillet.. that might be simply because the griddle doesn't get as hot as you could get a skillet. But I really do enjoy cooking breakfast on the griddle.
Is it weather rated? Can you leave it outside on the porch? Also, the website doesn't say how much it weighs. Think you could throw it on a scale for us? Just the unit, not the stand, obviously.
I don't think so since its electrical.. But if BS makes a heavy duty cloth cover, then I would say yes.. The griddle alone without the stand is about 27 pounds from my measuring device..
@@CollinsFamilyAdventures 😂The crazy thing is, before I watched your video I was saying it the other day while cooking. I thought I was the only guy who knew the reference.
Awesome, but all I can think of is all that grease splatter all over the kitchen and the smell all in the house. It's messy cooking on the stove as is. I have the gas 17 and 22 and I love them. This electric one seems awesome also but I don't think I would use it indoors to cook food that splatters or smelly. If I can set it on the stove and limit the splatters and use the vent then I may consider it.
I totally understand what you're saying, to be 100% honest with you the splattering is not really an issue with me as the walls and the lids seem to help that.. The steam and smell is something that can't be controlled.. We use our Hood vent in our Kitchen.. Sometimes we'll even wheel it next to a window if we're cooking bacon and such..
I have two Blackstones. The 36" propane outside and just got the 22" e series. I go the e series because I love the big griddle outside. Yes keeps all the smells and smoke outside! that's what I wanted. It's amazing!! I got the 22 in for when the weather was bad or just want a quick small cook. The big griddle has a cover and to take it off for a quick meal for one is an overkill. Now the 22" inside. Very convenient. But nowhere near as powerful or as fast as the propane griddle. It's electric folks. Still a great griddle! Its a trade off. Way better than those old pancake griddles I think we all have had! It does split the amperage across both burners to keep the power draw down. I can see where two 17'' on different circuits would be better and hotter but I have the 36" outside. So the tradeoff is still ok. I would rather lose a little heat on the 22" and have more room for food and less splatter coming off the larger 22" griddle indoors. Just takes a little longer to cook. Yes you are inside and will have the smells just like your stove would produce. But on the stand you can move it around. If its a small cook and you still don't want to uncover the big propane griddle, the e series has feet and you could take it outside. But it's not really made to stay out there. But the Adventure Series propane two burner is a great option for a quick smaller griddle outside. It most likely will be my next griddle. Now the true size of the 22". I have a normal sized kitchen with standard sized cabinets and cabinet heights and counter depths. The microwave is above the stove too. The 22" and probably the 17" also since it has the same depth just not as wide, DO NOT fit on my counters where there are cabinets or the microwave and allow the lid to fully open and stay open. So the stand is needed. I don't really like the stand but the pans on the bottom are awesome. For me on the kitchen table is fine. If you have an Island with a power outlet or counter that is a peninsula PERFECT!!! I don't have the room in the kitchen to leave it on the stand. At least anywhere I like. It fits in the pantry on the shelf so for now I'll take it out and use it on the table. Would I buy the e series again. yes, it has a place in your cooking arsenal. But not a one griddle do all. Super easy to take to a friends house or church or wherever to cook indoors. I participated in a pancake breakfast at my daughters school when she was young and wish we had these back then. I had the old timey little black griddle then. :)
@@CollinsFamilyAdventures I see that because I cook on my normal blackstone in the winter time in my garage. Making burgers in there there’s so much smoke I can barely stand it
My biggest issue when it comes to smoke is the condensation it builds on the lid and has nowhere to go besides the drip tray which is only about 40% of the lid..
Can the unit be on backwards?. I know when I put it together, I got something on wrong (due to the high quality black and white manual..) The folding tray should be on the right if your in front of it.. If that's correct, may need to reach the out to Blackstone..
It is on there right. We already had to have a whole new one sent due to a missing brass peice in one of the legs that holds the wheel missing. Otherwise we love the grill but the grease pan is annoying.
Dang it Blackstone!! The grill is awesome, sounds like quality control is not so much.. A grease trap that ain't catching the grease is a NO GO for sure.. I hope it's something they can just send you out a new part or such..
If you're going to do grilling burgers on a griddle electric what's the point to spending so much money on it when you can just do it on a cooking pan on the stove,,. It doesn't make any sense
@@marine3104 funny you assume I have one I don’t. Could careless what some jarhead got to say. Was merely supplying a answer to your question. You asked why, cause he wanted to people do it all the time buying the bigger better. That’s today world of consumerism. You the one butt hurt coming back with insults did I insult you with my response no. So go ahead and act childish on the internet.
I would say the cart yes.. Not a fan of the way they mixed metal with plastics.. As fair as the unit, it's solid in my opinion.. Doesn' t feel cheap in the hands like most of the consumer grade griddles on the market.. I had actually damaged my propane 22in adventure unit faster than these E-Series units.. In fact the only issue I have on both of my E-Series griddles is the center of the cooking surface discoloring.. I have had these units for years and am still satisfied with the purchases..
Garbage..I have the 22" version.. After using the griddle for 3 heavy cooks (about 10 steaks each cookout).. The griddle shuts down by itself every 5 minutes after about 5 to 10 minutes of cook time....These are total garbage.. I can do better with a cheap countertop electric skillet..
Thanks for making this video! Surprised there aren't more on this particular grill.

The bars represent the surface temperature gauge.. 3/4 of them are white and 1/4 of them or orange.. Stay tuned as I'm going to do a video on temperatures of the surface..
I've heard mixed reviews on how well it heats evenly and distributes the heat consistently.
Are there major cool areas on the cooking surface??
I haven't seen major inconsistency.. Very minor if any.. I think it may depend on how you turn up the temp..
My griddle I feel like loses heat very fast and just doesn't have constant heating.
Same here loses a lot of heat. And takes for ever to heat back up. Very disappointed in it
Awesome. Great video

What are the assembled dimensions (with the lid closed)? The Walmart website says that it is 37.62 x 20.00 x 40.16 Inches, but those don’t seem right.
The depth is 20in without grease trap and 22in with grease trap..

What do the orange bars mean? You mentioned you were at 1 orange bar. Is it a safety thing? Or a max temp thing?
It's a temp thing from what I can tell.. I believe they reflect the desired set point you have set and the range to the set point..
What’s the drip pans for if you can use it on a countertop?
They call them prep pans.. Not sure what Blackstone intended them for. But I'll take my burger smasher and place it there, so grease doesn't get anywhere and any other tools that might be nastified..
Spatula City is from UHF. Fantastic movie! “We sell spatulas and that’s all”
Hey so does this griddle plug into a standard plug or is it commercial 110v?
It plugs into a regular 110 receptacle.. but at the unit it has a proprietary end.. Hope this helps
Does it really cook as good as the regular steel griddles...do u get that crust and that sear?
Won't sear as good as a steel unit.. But does my smash burgers just fine with a nice crust.. I look at it as a specialized tool. Couldn't do specialized cooks just like the steel units can do..

I always cook food at room temperature, never have a problem with temperature going down. Yes, putting cold food will definitely do that, and you sacrifice flavor and texture when you do. It doesn't take much time to let your food get to room temp to achieve food nirvana
I always heat it to a higher starting temperature initially. When the food is placed on it, the temperature lowers to about where I need it to be.
Does this surface need seasoned?
Nope..
When I plugged the unit up it started making a popping noise as it was heating. It also had a funny smell. Is it supposed to do that?
When putting it together did you verify nothing got in between the unit and the griddle.. I don't remember any weird noises or smells.. might want to call tech support on that issue.. Would hate for something to go south on you..
How hot does it make your house??
No noticable difference in my opinion... Nothing like running the oven that's for sure..
Is this made for indoor use?
Definitely works indoors.. I actually can't remember the last time I used my stove in my kitchen.. I😂🤣😜
@@CollinsFamilyAdventures Great thanks. I thought it would splatter all over the place when cooking burgers or steak..
With the sides of the Blackstone griddle, the splatter is kept down to a minimal amount to nothing at all from what I've observed so far..
I need this for my family
Would be a great investment for you and the family!!
Spatula City! Where they only sale spatulas 😊
How does bacon do on this grill?
It actually does fairly well. I personally think that it minimizes smoke compared to cooking on a skillet.. that might be simply because the griddle doesn't get as hot as you could get a skillet. But I really do enjoy cooking breakfast on the griddle.
@@CollinsFamilyAdventures thank you for your reply. I’m Thinking about buying one. ♥️
Spatula City! Spatula City! I love UHF!
Any update?
Will update in my next video as requested to try frozen hamburgers..
I'd love to get an honest review if you would.
Is it weather rated? Can you leave it outside on the porch?
Also, the website doesn't say how much it weighs. Think you could throw it on a scale for us? Just the unit, not the stand, obviously.
I don't think so since its electrical.. But if BS makes a heavy duty cloth cover, then I would say yes.. The griddle alone without the stand is about 27 pounds from my measuring device..
Is it smoke free/ or less
Unfortunately no, but I cook next to my hooded vent and haven't had to turn it on yet.. So not bad in my opinion..
@@CollinsFamilyAdventures They should include that option cause the cheaper indoor grills provide that.
Is this non stick? 😮
Yes indeed..
It’s like induction cooktop 5:23
spatula city...we sell spatulas...and that's all... buy 9 spatulas, get the 10th one for just one penny...UHF, what a movie.
I was a big Rush Limbaugh fan. That’s where I heard about spatula city never knew it was part of a movie, thanks.
I know exactly what Spatula City is!!! MAHARUSHIE!!!! (SP?)
I like spatulas so much, I bought the company. Lol
So awesome!!
SPATULA CITY!!!
SPATULA CITY!!!
SPATULA CITY!!!
I swear UHF had it all.
Such a classic for sure..
@@CollinsFamilyAdventures 😂The crazy thing is, before I watched your video I was saying it the other day while cooking. I thought I was the only guy who knew the reference.
👀🤨 On my WishList
Awesome, but all I can think of is all that grease splatter all over the kitchen and the smell all in the house. It's messy cooking on the stove as is.
I have the gas 17 and 22 and I love them. This electric one seems awesome also but I don't think I would use it indoors to cook food that splatters or smelly. If I can set it on the stove and limit the splatters and use the vent then I may consider it.
I totally understand what you're saying, to be 100% honest with you the splattering is not really an issue with me as the walls and the lids seem to help that.. The steam and smell is something that can't be controlled.. We use our Hood vent in our Kitchen.. Sometimes we'll even wheel it next to a window if we're cooking bacon and such..
I have two Blackstones. The 36" propane outside and just got the 22" e series. I go the e series because I love the big griddle outside. Yes keeps all the smells and smoke outside! that's what I wanted. It's amazing!!
I got the 22 in for when the weather was bad or just want a quick small cook. The big griddle has a cover and to take it off for a quick meal for one is an overkill.
Now the 22" inside. Very convenient. But nowhere near as powerful or as fast as the propane griddle. It's electric folks. Still a great griddle! Its a trade off. Way better than those old pancake griddles I think we all have had! It does split the amperage across both burners to keep the power draw down. I can see where two 17'' on different circuits would be better and hotter but I have the 36" outside. So the tradeoff is still ok. I would rather lose a little heat on the 22" and have more room for food and less splatter coming off the larger 22" griddle indoors. Just takes a little longer to cook. Yes you are inside and will have the smells just like your stove would produce. But on the stand you can move it around. If its a small cook and you still don't want to uncover the big propane griddle, the e series has feet and you could take it outside. But it's not really made to stay out there. But the Adventure Series propane two burner is a great option for a quick smaller griddle outside. It most likely will be my next griddle.
Now the true size of the 22". I have a normal sized kitchen with standard sized cabinets and cabinet heights and counter depths. The microwave is above the stove too. The 22" and probably the 17" also since it has the same depth just not as wide, DO NOT fit on my counters where there are cabinets or the microwave and allow the lid to fully open and stay open. So the stand is needed. I don't really like the stand but the pans on the bottom are awesome. For me on the kitchen table is fine. If you have an Island with a power outlet or counter that is a peninsula PERFECT!!!
I don't have the room in the kitchen to leave it on the stand. At least anywhere I like. It fits in the pantry on the shelf so for now I'll take it out and use it on the table. Would I buy the e series again. yes, it has a place in your cooking arsenal. But not a one griddle do all. Super easy to take to a friends house or church or wherever to cook indoors. I participated in a pancake breakfast at my daughters school when she was young and wish we had these back then. I had the old timey little black griddle then. :)
Very nice comment.. Thank you .. Very well said..
Spatula City, we sell spatulas... and that's all!
It’s cool but I feel it would smoke your house out
I use it by my hood vent, but never had to turn it on yet..
@@CollinsFamilyAdventures I see that because I cook on my normal blackstone in the winter time in my garage. Making burgers in there there’s so much smoke I can barely stand it
My biggest issue when it comes to smoke is the condensation it builds on the lid and has nowhere to go besides the drip tray which is only about 40% of the lid..
@@CollinsFamilyAdventures all in all I do like it. Especially the non stick cooking surface
The surface is hands down the best.. Especially cleaning and not having to season..
My drip 0an falls off when it's on the stand
Well that's no good.. I don't have that problem on mine, can you see why is getting lifted up?.
@@CollinsFamilyAdventures it hits the cart edge. It's like there should be a lower section right there but there's not
Can the unit be on backwards?. I know when I put it together, I got something on wrong (due to the high quality black and white manual..) The folding tray should be on the right if your in front of it.. If that's correct, may need to reach the out to Blackstone..
It is on there right. We already had to have a whole new one sent due to a missing brass peice in one of the legs that holds the wheel missing. Otherwise we love the grill but the grease pan is annoying.
Dang it Blackstone!! The grill is awesome, sounds like quality control is not so much.. A grease trap that ain't catching the grease is a NO GO for sure.. I hope it's something they can just send you out a new part or such..
like the free floating.. something u dont pay for lol😹
Butter burns at 365.
UHF!
UHF
Guy cooks 40 times and thinks it's a lot hahaha. That's like 13 days, mate
Greased floor 🤣
Be honest with you I haven't had any issues with a greased floor, even after cooking 3 lb of bacon..
If you're going to do grilling burgers on a griddle electric what's the point to spending so much money on it when you can just do it on a cooking pan on the stove,,. It doesn't make any sense
Probably why people buy smart watches when phones and regular ones do the job. Cause they want to.
Hahaha ,,, he got butt hurt. Poor baby 😂🍼. Take a nap hugging your little electric griddle it probably make you feel better. Hahaha 😂😂
@@marine3104 funny you assume I have one I don’t. Could careless what some jarhead got to say. Was merely supplying a answer to your question. You asked why, cause he wanted to people do it all the time buying the bigger better. That’s today world of consumerism. You the one butt hurt coming back with insults did I insult you with my response no. So go ahead and act childish on the internet.
Cast iorn Skillet Burgers would taste better.
@@kylewatts9187 that they do
Shoes on carpet yuck
Very cheap looking.
I would say the cart yes.. Not a fan of the way they mixed metal with plastics.. As fair as the unit, it's solid in my opinion.. Doesn' t feel cheap in the hands like most of the consumer grade griddles on the market.. I had actually damaged my propane 22in adventure unit faster than these E-Series units.. In fact the only issue I have on both of my E-Series griddles is the center of the cooking surface discoloring.. I have had these units for years and am still satisfied with the purchases..
Garbage..I have the 22" version.. After using the griddle for 3 heavy cooks (about 10 steaks each cookout).. The griddle shuts down by itself every 5 minutes after about 5 to 10 minutes of cook time....These are total garbage.. I can do better with a cheap countertop electric skillet..
UHF ist spatula City ❤️❤️❤️
Hot Dogs 🌭 😂 poor guy !
Kids love those BarS dogs made of you know what.. 🤢
UHF!
Boom!!
