epiclystellar hey! Sorry for the late response! I had an after market tarp/cover, but found with as humid as it gets here in Florida, it would trap the moisture and pull up the seasoning on the griddle surface. It is under a covered area, and it seems to be good for now with just the hood, although I have been researching other “breathable” covers. Take care!
The air fryer totally sold it for me, I always wanted to try the griddle so this addition made me finally pull the trigger. I’m still getting used to cooking on a griddle but it’s a new fun experience and I’m digging it!! Highly recommended.
WALTWINS not yet I’ve only been playing around for a couple weeks I did make a good steak and pea pod stir fry as an experiment. It does make the best chicken nuggets and French fries, my youngest daughter can’t get enough! Perfectly crispy and delicious.
It just seems like a major convenience to be able to cook all your food in one location. It also looks like the clean up would be super easy and quick on both the griddle and fryers.
steverville so true! They designed the drawers so you can take them apart quickly and easily, and throw in the dishwasher. So convenient! I prefer to soak them in baking powder, soap and hot water, but nice to know the option is there. They are really bringing it with these machines!🤙
Just bought a house in Eustis with a pool, moving from Louisiana next month. Was looking at this Blackstone for cooking by the pool and found your channel. Very cool, thanks for the info. Will say Hi if I ever see you around.
Haha! That is awesome! Yes, we are nearly neighbors, I’m two towns over. Cooking by the pool has become my favorite thing to do! Thanks so much for subbing, we’ll have more cooking coming soon!🤙🤙
110% agree Brother. Love the videos. You guys are great! We use air fryer in the house all the time. When I saw air fryer option, I hunted one down. Putting it together, I think a lefty had this genius air fryer idea!! Hope they got a raise!! Only couple little changes. Like another magnet for us right hamd folks. My permanent place fixes the tank issue with shelf folding. Love the one got visiting youngest in Indiana. Had to add air fryers for one at home. Son laughed. I'm about to add couple burners out here for the wok and or pans. I'm done running back and forth. Lol. Keep up great work!! Happy burning 🔥 !!
I previously did not have a diet of chicken wings, sweet potato fries, chicken strips, etc ruclips.net/user/postUgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB but I have (no exaggeration) been using this air fryer daily since I received it about two months ago. It is easy to use, preheating is a great feature, the nonstock basket has had no issues with food sticking. I place a piece of foil underneath the basket for easy cleanup. The handle has become only slightly loose, but a screwdriver and pliers should take care of it. I have noticed that occasionally the LED display panel has a freakout and lights up during use, but it doesn't appear to interfere with the heating cycle. It has improved the texture of foods dramatically. I highly recommend this.
I have the 36" combo, love it. Need to master the air fryer, My drawback is the high heat that comes out of the sides onto the side tables. Any ideas on how to stop that ??? Thanks and happy cooking. !!!
Thank you so much for watching! The heat is intense! We’ve seen others purchase wind guards, or metal pastry cutter with the rounded handle, that can actually hang over the griddle side and hangs low we ought to block the heat. Hope this helps fam!!🔥🔥
Just got the Pro Series for my birthday a few days ago. I’ve cooked smash burgers and fajitas on it already and I absolutely love it! I already have 2 air fryers so the storage in the pro series was more important to me.
So awesome! Gotta say, when I was standing there waiting for help grabbing the combo at Walmart, I gave the Pro one more serious consideration. The storage, and paper towel rack are so awesome. Great choice! I love Blackstone, and love being a “Blackstoner!” 😜. Thank you so much for chiming in!🤙
I 100% agree with him. I bought this item in April, it has been better then I expected. I am a short order cook for my family now and they love it.. great investment.. if you have any issues with low flame, it is probably the regulator. A quick reset will fix that problem.
Yes! We cook daily with this! All three meals on Mother’s Day - the air fryers have been amazing - first time using I did have issues with the flame, but since the first cook, it’s been nearly perfect!
Just made the first meal on my new Blackstone 28” Culinary model with the air fryer. Tried smash burgers and sweet potato fries and they came out perfect. No issues with the grill but the air fryer takes longer to cook the fries than advertised. Was supposed to take 20 mins shaking the basket every 5 mins. Took more like 25-30 mins but they did come out nice and crispy. Next up- Chicken stir fry, so far so good, love this grill & never had a better burger at home.
Yes!!! The best burgers! We have a hard time ordering them out these days, because they are sooo good! Thank you so much for watching, and sharing! We are so glad you are having success on the griddle! Much love! Griddle on!!!😁❤️🤙
Wow, thank you so much for watching! I apologize for such a late response! This comment did not show up in my RUclips Studio comment section. You'll love the griddle! LOL, we get compared to Jack Black all the time, we love it!
I wish they would have included a place for a garbage bag to hang as well. I hang a garbage bag off of the utensil knobs. thank you for all the awesome videos. I just got my blackstone a month ago and love it. Griddle on!
So glad I found this. We just missed out on the unit BJ's had, but it doesn't have the air fryers. I saw the one with he air fryer on line and then your video. I think it was meant to be.
Haha!! Totally meant to be! We love this one for sure! Also, Tractor Supply also has a new air fryer combo that is really pretty. Hope you get yours soon, we love these things!! Good luck Christine!!🤗🤗
@@waltwins Oh yeah! The closest Walmart (50) miles has 1. My husband is driving there now to pick it up. Giving the kids our original and looking forward to using this one. Retiring to Cape Cod MA from NJ. Going on the deck we just finished! Great video and sure helped me make up my mind!
Bought the 28" Blackstone...right next to it I have a very nice Weber Spirit grill...it now holds all of the things I use with the blackstone...I know, sacrilege but really love the versatility of the flat top.
My husband just bought me this griddle.I am so excited about using it. I seasoned it this morning and I'm planning on making breakfast in the morning. How long do I cook the fries in the air fryer basket? This way of cooking is new to me. Thank you for your videos, they are very helpful to me!
Yay!! Congratulations on the new Blackstone!😄. Usually, if they are frozen, it takes 10-12 minutes (on medium heat). It may vary some based on where you live and outside temp. Hope this helps!! Take care Ronnie!🤗🤗
I have the ninja foodi for my air fryer and like it alot. Also I purchased my griddle with out the intentions of using another air fryer so I went with the 36" pro series for the added drawers for storage and cubby to hide the LP tank instead. Never been happier with my purchase. My griddle and my charcoal grill see more action than my kitchen stove. So many options of what you can make and make better with a griddle.
Yes!! We have friends who love their ninja foodie, and the air fryer is a perfect addition! The Pro Series was my other option, and I went back and forth for sure! Excellent choice, we just love the Blackstone!! GRIDDLE ON FAM!🤙🤙🔥🔥
I think the sides can switched that way you don't knock your tools off when turning the propane on and off. And yes the magnetic side would be in the back if you flip them but that give more room in the front and its not to far of a grab for them. Thanks for your videos guys, I just bought a 36" this morning and used it at lunch and already in love. Look forward to watching a bunch of cooking videos!! Side note: it's awesome seeing another Ginger named Brett also haha so glad I found your channel. Cheers guys!!
Yes! We have since learned this - we kept the mag strip where it is since we’ve learned to adapt - it’s a great suggestion though!! Haha!! I’ll let Brett know for sure man!! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!!🔥🔥🤙🤙
Just like anything else, it depends on what you cook. But definitely easier if you clean after you use them before oil or food get caked on. Thanh you so much g it watching Bob! Griddle on!!!😁🤙❤️
Lowes now has the combo, we assembled one today where I am at in Nashville. Maybe when it stops snowing this week, I will try it out. Interesting about the propane and electric fan for the air fryer, I wondered how that would work.
I love sautéing, and air frying. But my mother and for some reason my dogs do not enjoy the smoke it creates in doors. I am so excited to purchase one and be able to do everything outdoors. And with that shelf underneath. I’ve seen people by those mini storage tubs from Walmart or Home Depot and put the extra cleaning stuff and bottles in there and have it perfectly stored.
Oh yes!! It’s perfect!! I hope you are able to get one soon - it is absolutely amazing!! Perfect idea for the extra “toys” for griddling too! Take care!😄😄🔥🔥
I would like to see a side burner added to this that would be great, and another gas tank on the other side, little high in price, I agree with you about the tank and tool tray...
this is the model i got! kids love the fries I make with it, fresh from russet taters. I put them in right before I prep the burgers and it times really well. by the time im done with cooking the burgers the fries are done. I need to try some eggrolls next time I do fried rice. My only gripe, this thing blows through propane
How do you like the 28? We don’t have any kids so I thought it would be adequate but the additional cooking zones and space have me questioning getting the 36.
@@Tony-yr8es I really enjoy the 28" for family cooking (household of 4), I believe the 36" comes with 2 Air Fryer Drawers, which would be nice when doing quick lunch meals (Chicken Fingers and French Fries,) and when it comes to hosting parties, I wish I had the additional cooking space. It's as the OP suggests, no one ever says, "I wish I would have gotten the smaller version." If you have the room to store it, upgrade to the 36" IMHO.
We got ours a couple of weeks ago and absolutely love it. How does the warming drawer work? If you are air frying something at 400 degrees in the two air fryer baskets and then dump them into the warming basket, do you still leave the temp set to 400 with the blower on? Unless I missed it, I could not find any info on that in the manual.
Just finished putting my together (this is my fifth blackstone griddle) and the two things you disliked about it were the two things I told my wife I didn't like about it also. But I can work around them. Looks like the magnetic strip is fastened by a couple screws and wouldn't take much to put it on the other side. Cant wait to find some of your videos using it.
That’s awesome! Congratulations on yet another Blackstone!😄😄. For sure the issues are so minor, a year and a half in, and we still love it!! Take care brother!🤙🤙
Thank you so much for watching! There is a cover that is designed for the 28" griddle and range combo (deep fryer model) - they may also have a new cover that fits as well. Hope this helps!
I have a question would it be possible to use the other 2 compartments as warmers as well on the air fryer? So essentially all 3 would be warmers instead of 1 warmer?
Thank you so much for watching! If you don’t turn on the air fryer, they actually can be used as warmers - I’ve not tested the heat inside with the fryer burner off, but you still have the griddle plate above which I can imagine would keep food warm!🤙🤙
YES...we do know the toy is worth it :) Good video and great review! Thanks for showing us the power of the air fryer. It is like you are getting two gadgets in ONE! That is pretty cool. If you keep showing this off, I think I might get jealous. Or even your wife...LOL! Thanks for the review...I keep hinting to my wife how good this looks....let us see what happens. You said you got this at Walmart huh? The one place that is still open....LOL! Have a great night and take care my friend. Have a good weekend and God bless!
Yes! This one is a Walmart exclusive, and Ace Hardware just got a Blackstone that is exclusive to them. There are many different ones, but this is still my favorite!
Boom! Dude, I was in Walmart going back and forth - I ALMOST went with the Pro - it’s so sexy!! Both are amazing products! Congrats!! Thank you so much for watching! 🤙🤙
Woot woot!! Yes! Honestly, we have been so happy with this unit! My wife was skeptical at first, but now loves it and we use it all the time!Thank you for watching!🤙🤙
Thank you for watching! The knob on the bottom is to control the air fryer cook. Both drawers cook at the same time/temp. The third drawer is a food warmer. Hope this helps!🤙🤙
Great question! Over 2 years, we very seldom use the drawer. That said, it did come in handy when serving larger groups - to keep burger patties or hot dogs warm. Hope this helps fam. The air fryer drawers are incredible though!🤙🤙
@@waltwins Thanks. I bought one a couple of weeks ago. Your video swayed me to get the 4 burner, because no one has ever said they wished they'd have bought the smaller one.
I need to get a black stone It would make my life so much better if you're going to buy a Blackstone in my opinion go all out I would definitely go with the air fryer part I haven't had good homemade french fries since my air fryer broke I need to get a new one thanks for another great video Glad you're doing okay stay safe out there 😃🍟🍔
So one year + later I have to ask. Is the griddle/air fryer combo worth it or should I look at just a regular black stone since I have an air fryer already? How was it held up?
Thank you so luv for watching! We have housed them well over 100 times - my wife loves the air fryer, as we can keep all the cooking outside!😄 They continue to work as well as they did the first time. Now, this was our first air fryer, so I didn’t have one to begin with, but have since gotten 2 others - we still prefer the cook outside. Hope this helps somewhat!🔥🔥
I am new to air frying. We got a 28” with the electric air fryer. I love the black-stone, but my air fryer skills need some work. I would love to see more on cooking with it. 😎
Thank you so much man! We actually have a couple of cooks where we use them, but privately we use them all the time. Unfortunately, from a “production” standpoint, the videos we use to highlight the air fryer just haven’t done as well for us. Having said that, we really hope to incorporate them more in future cooks! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Awesome. I look forward to it! I will keep working on it too. We made 1.5” pork chops cut sweet corn and cheese curds tonight. Everything turned out great! I am sure “air fryer”gets lost algorithm for all the table top units.
Hey! Thank you so much for watching! I had an “after market” cover I had picked up at Lowe’s that I used. But with the heavy humidity here in Florida, I found that the hood down and cover on, it would pull in moisture and the seasoning - so I don’t cover it (I am under a covered patio). Hope this helps!🤙🤙
Oh man, it’s a chore! Bret has the 28” air fryer (from Lowe’s), he said it’s best to put them in the dishwasher immediately after use (well, after the cool down of course…). I have found soaking them in really hot water with baking soda and dish soap, then scrubbing them with an SOS pad gets them super clean. But soaking them, I don’t have to use much elbow grease…🤣🤣
Def in the market for this exact cooker! I have almost perfected homemade fries. I use the girlfriends Pampered Chef crinkle cut fry maker. Soak in water for 30 for get the starch out. Drain, toss in a couple tablespoons of olive oil with seasoning (I use SPG). Almost as good as Five Guys fries!
Oh awesome!! So you sir fry them? I’ve only used the air fryer once for homemade fries, they were just okay. I used to love making my own in the deep fryer - I’ll have to give this a go! Hope you get this - we LOVE it!!
@@waltwins No sir, I used the air fryer! The one in my house, but want to try the Blackstone air fryer. I like using the water to get the starch out. I also cook fresh cut fries at closer to a medium heat (365* or so). shake them every 5 minutes. Comes out money. Wish I could post pix on youtube! Just watched your steak and cheese video, it made me sub LOL!
Hey, love the video, I had the same issue with the magnetic strip. My solution was to switch the tables so now my strip is on the back right side of my griddle and it's perfect. My tools are still convenient, but are out of the way! Maybe try that out? If you do, maybe you could make another video about that.
Oh man! GENIUS! I’m not kidding, I thought about that, but thought it would be odd with them in the back - it actually makes total sense! If I do, I’ll totally give you credit! 😄🤙. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for watching! The air fryers work quite well! They work slightly slower than a regular air fryer, but they are great! It would take a really long time to air fry fresh fries, but from frozen it would take about 10-12 minutes. Hope this helps!
I moved to central Florida about a year ago. Lanais aren't a common thing in Chicagoland area, we're having one installed now. Are there any recommendations you have for grilling underneath them...minimum height, etc?
Thank you so much for watching! We aren’t too sure Scott height - Brett has a covered porch that is approx. 8’ high and uses his regularly. These don’t give off as much smoke as a grill or smoker, and we seem to see more people who use the griddle, even in neighborhoods where grills are restricted. Hope this helps man!🤙🤙
Love the videos and thanks for comments on this Blackstone. Now that the weather is getting better a little north of you all, I have couple of questions: 1. What is the measurements of air fry baskets? 2. Do you use a lot of propane for this unit? I’m considering the 28” due to electric air fry. Thanks!
Thank you so much for watching and for the question! While we aren’t exactly sure, they are on the larger size, most likely 5.0 quart. I tried to do a bit of research when I saw your question and was surprised I couldn’t find the exact answer! For the propane use, we get 20+ hours - we have really been impressed (roughly the same we would get with a propane grill) - mostly because we cook mostly in med/low for most foods. Hope this helps!!
Thank you so much for watching! We recommend the propane model - the e series is an indoor griddle, so if that would be your primary use, it’s a good option too. Hope this helps!!🔥🔥
Just got one two days ago ready for my first cook today not sure what to put on it any suggestion ? I'm going to put fries in the basket today I do know that !!!
Yay! That’s so awesome! My first cook was Smashburgers with fries, so amazing! We have the video of it on our channel - it cooked a little cooler than expected, but it was the first cook. We’ve made them several times since. Congratulations and happy cooking!🤙🤙
Thank you so much for watching! I believe this particular model is not compatible, although I could be wrong! To you can speak with someone at blackstoneproducts.com - hope this helps!🤙🤙
My wife is allowing one grilling/griddle device on the grill area we have in the backyard. I currently have a 5 burner master fourge that has the bottom starting to rust out. Should I just do a grill or should I make the jump and do 100% griddle? thoughts?
That’s a totally personal call - however, in my opinion 😜 - we made the jump and have absolutely no regrets! While it’s a bit of a learning curve, we heard someone say the following regarding the griddle: it can cook just about everything that a grill can, and a thousand things a grill cannot #truth. Let us know what you decide!! Ultimately I’d love to have both, but if you can only have one, the griddle will get way more use! Good luck man!🤙🤙
Thank you so much for watching! Honestly we aren’t sure, but the electricity is only to run the fan, so we can’t imagine it would use much energy - the unit has a separate line that feeds the propane to the burner for the air fryers. Hope this helps!!🤙🤙
There is a UL tag you can check that info on. Mine is also the electric air fryer. It’s the 28” model. Mine says 1465W at 120v so that equates to 12.2-ish AMPS
Great info, thank you. A good rule of thumb for jump cuts is never have them within 3 seconds of each other. If you must, use b roll over to mask the stuttering video. Unless you don’t care. It annoys some viewers.
Haha! Guess we found someone it annoys..😉 honestly though, I really appreciate the feedback! I’ve worked tirelessly to get better at the edits, and your feedback legit will help even more! Great call with e b roll footage - I often get “stuck” when I need a cut - that will definitely help with this. Thanks so much for watching man!🤙🤙
I purchased the 36” without the air fryers, and it wasn’t because of cost, but because I already have a big box air fryer and a regular air fryer that I’ve NEVER used! Lol Two of them, and not one time have I ever used them, crazy, huh? My kids aren’t little anymore, and I don’t cook any corn dogs or chicken nuggets. But I can see where families with kids would love that feature. I just didn’t want the extra bulk when I probably won’t use them any more than the ones I already have. God Bless! 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for watching! That totally makes sense - we actually use them regularly for wings - so good!! Agree that if It’s not something you use regularly or think you will, it would not be a feature worth upgrading for. We had never owned an air fryer before, but I’m stunned at how often we use the drawers. In the last year, we’ve probably used the air fryer 50-60 times. Take care Rainy Jo, and GRIDDLE ON!😄😄🔥🔥
Hi! I’ have never owned anything other than a Weber grill..so it’s all new to me. I ordered mine and am picking it up tomorrow. Very excited and enjoyed your very helpful videos while researching and making my decision. Question- can u use the air fryers on their own without turning on grill? One more- do u ever put lid down while cooking on a griddle as you would on a bbq?
Hello! Thank you so much for watching, and yay!! Congratulations!! So exciting! Yes! We use the air fryer all the time - you turn the gas on, and the fan, and then light it. The griddle cooks are typically very quick (a common “complaint” among griddle owners who want to sit back and enjoy rather than actively cook🤣), but I do use the hood often, just like I would for bbq! Hope this helps!
Rough!😜 I’ve found that if I clean after a cook - even wipe and then stick in the dishwasher, they clean much better - I’ve waited a while before and it required a ton of elbow grease!🤙🤙
Thank you so much fam! We are working with Pit Boss now, but yes, this is an amazing unit! 400 cooks in, we’ve reseasoned a few times, but it’s a great machine!
I love this one and want it so bad. The only reason we have a smaller one is so we can fit in in our fifth wheel storage area. We have a 22 inch and love it. Wish we had room to haul this one.
Leaning toward the version with the 28 inch griddle and two side burners. Never used an air fryer but after watching this video I am conflicted. Going to pick up one of the two either today or tomorrow. Any feedback?
Hey man! Thank you so much for watching! I had the same issue! The side burner and fryer was the first one I fell in love with, but we are so happy we went with the air fryer combo. The 36” is a ton of cooking space, and we use the air fryer drawers on nearly every cook! We love it for sure. I’m sure you’ll be happy either way, I would consider how often you think you’ll need the deep fryer and side burner. Good luck, let us n so wait you decide!🤙🤙
@@waltwins I don't see us using the deep fryer. I do see us cooking a pasta or rice side on the side burners. We have never used an air fryer but I think it would be awesome for frozen fried apps. Fried ravioli, mozz sticks, jalapeno poppers. Until now we have been using an indoor pizza oven for those.
@@waltwins ended up going with the 28 inch griddle with deep fryer/dual side burners. I still do not see us using the deep fryer but we have used the side burners multiple times for pasta and rice sides. Bottom line we love it. For our family of 4 the 28 is more than adequate. If there was a 36 with side burners we would have went that route but loosing a few inches was worth gaining the side burners for us. It means all the cooking can be done on the griddle. We dont need someone inside making the side. I can do it all on the Blackstone. I was originally worried about cleaning the griddle. We have been pleasantly surprised that it is much less work than washing multiple pans after cooking on the stove. With the occasional exception of a sauce pan the only thing we are washing are utensils, serving platter and rubbermaid containers used for marinating stuff. Not pans though which is awesome.
No affiliate links to the product? I don't buy anything from Walmart after they were caught polluting in CA (and elsewhere), and it seems this is only available through them? That would be a shame. Nice review, as usual.
Thank you so much for watching! Unfortunately this is a Walmart exclusive - if we ever get access through Blackstone, I’ll comment back and let you know!
Thank you so much for watching! The Air Fryer Combo is exclusive to Walmart - it’s amazing! Hope you find it, would be a great investment! Would love to get updated, keep us posted!🤙🤙
Haha! Oh man, that was my exact dilemma before I got this one! My wife felt like the air fryer drawers may not be worth it. We use them all the time now though and she’s so happy else for this unit. That said, it really is personal preference! Good luck and let us know what you decide fam!🤙🤙
Buy an extension and quick connect fitting. Single if you only want 1 line. They come in various lengths with fittings. Then you can put your tank any where you want to hide it. Mine is hooked into my deck LP gas system. It is supplied from my 800L tank that runs the gas stove, fire place, home radiant heat boiler. water tank and last but not least my grill!
Finally purchased the 36” griddle air fryer combo. Been loving the griddle! I wanted to use the air fryer for the first time yesterday and found that all three baskets were full of water. The griddle is kept outside and always covered, I don’t understand how they could be full of water. Have you ever experienced this, or maybe heard of it happening? I haven’t even tried to plug it in yet to see if it works. I’ve looked everywhere for an answer and can’t seem to find one.
Thank you for watching and congratulations on the new air fryer! We have never experienced or heard about this - I can’t even think of what would cause this! I would think once dried, they should still function - keep us posted!🔥🔥
Ours is kept outside as well and has been through a good rain storm a few times and we have never had water in the air fryers or griddle top. Very strange why yours is filling up.
Hello! It’s my understanding that the Air Fryer combo cannot be converted - there is no conversion kit - however, many others can including the pro series. Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you so much for for watching! There a great question, we’ve seen some images of some who have used it in a built-in, that said, there is an additional area under the air fryer units that would need protecting, as the burners for the gas line run just behind the air fryers. Otherwise, I think it would work fine!🤙🤙
I never thought I'd use the air fryers as much as we do. Hint- left over deep fried french fries are soooooo good reheated in the air fryer. So the next time you eat out and have to decide to take the left over french fries home don't hesitate.
Oh man, the air fryers are a game-changer! My wife was concerned we were wasting money paying for the air fryer model, but it’s her favorite part! We use them all the time!!😄😄🤙🤙
Around here it's $649 which is another $250-$350 over the griddle. It seems nice but i am choking on the price difference and doing the lower carb thing will I 'really' use the air fryer?
@@waltwins It's just so hard to know if I would use it. I got the premium blackstone 36 griddle ordered today from lowes. Mayble I'll try a separate air fryer later.
My concern from the beginning is that with all the electric air fryers on the market, I have the Ninja Foodie multi cooker that air fries too. btw Using the air fryer to me is a waste of the propane. Imo. I can always take my Ninja to my outdoor kitchen, and everything is close together.
You’re right. But we did love using this one. It’s a great way to do multiple things in the two air fryers. We also love our ninja foodie as we use it all the time!😋🤗😁
Thank you so much for watching! I’m not entirely sure - because sure has to flow up and in, and I know there is some space under the griddle, it’s really hard to say! I’d check out Blackstoneproducts.com to be sure! When we checked on the site, they have a “live chat” feature that gives you access to talk directly with someone. We have many lizards in our covered area, but we’ve never had one in the air fryer.🤙🤙
Bro, from Kissimmee, just got mine yesterday. Did my most delicious stir fry and veggies on it for the 1st cook. Doing smash burgers tonight. I am in love with it already!
So I made the mistake of buying a smaller griddle and have decided I need to have the largest one Blackstone makes LOL since I bought the smaller one I have cooked on it almost every night for dinner and have made breakfast weekends for just short of a month LOL I love cooking on it but its too small so I am going to get the 36 inch but not sure an airfryer is ideal for me

What other questions do you have in considering the Air Fryer Combo?
I would love to see "what's inside" the air fryer part to see how simple/complex it is from a repair and durability standpoint.
Good question! I’d have to take a gander!
@@waltwins What cover do you use for the air fryer combo when it's not in use
I too would like to know what cover you use on your air fryer combo
epiclystellar hey! Sorry for the late response! I had an after market tarp/cover, but found with as humid as it gets here in Florida, it would trap the moisture and pull up the seasoning on the griddle surface.

WALTWINS not yet I’ve only been playing around for a couple weeks I did make a good steak and pea pod stir fry as an experiment. It does make the best chicken nuggets and French fries, my youngest daughter can’t get enough! Perfectly crispy and delicious.

Just bought a house in Eustis with a pool, moving from Louisiana next month. Was looking at this Blackstone for cooking by the pool and found your channel. Very cool, thanks for the info. Will say Hi if I ever see you around.
Haha! That is awesome! Yes, we are nearly neighbors, I’m two towns over. Cooking by the pool has become my favorite thing to do! Thanks so much for subbing, we’ll have more cooking coming soon!🤙🤙
110% agree Brother. Love the videos. You guys are great! We use air fryer in the house all the time. When I saw air fryer option, I hunted one down. Putting it together, I think a lefty had this genius air fryer idea!! Hope they got a raise!! Only couple little changes. Like another magnet for us right hamd folks. My permanent place fixes the tank issue with shelf folding. Love the one got visiting youngest in Indiana. Had to add air fryers for one at home. Son laughed. I'm about to add couple burners out here for the wok and or pans. I'm done running back and forth. Lol. Keep up great work!! Happy burning 🔥 !!
Haha! Excellent fam! This really is a great unit! Thank you so much for watching brother, take care and GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥
I previously did not have a diet of chicken wings, sweet potato fries, chicken strips, etc ruclips.net/user/postUgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB but I have (no exaggeration) been using this air fryer daily since I received it about two months ago. It is easy to use, preheating is a great feature, the nonstock basket has had no issues with food sticking. I place a piece of foil underneath the basket for easy cleanup. The handle has become only slightly loose, but a screwdriver and pliers should take care of it. I have noticed that occasionally the LED display panel has a freakout and lights up during use, but it doesn't appear to interfere with the heating cycle. It has improved the texture of foods dramatically. I highly recommend this.
Awesome! Happy accident, right?!?😂 Thank you so much for watching! Much love fam. Griddle on!!!😁❤️🤙
I have the 36" combo, love it. Need to master the air fryer, My drawback is the high heat that comes out of the sides onto the side tables. Any ideas on how to stop that ???
Thanks and happy cooking. !!!
Thank you so much for watching! The heat is intense! We’ve seen others purchase wind guards, or metal pastry cutter with the rounded handle, that can actually hang over the griddle side and hangs low we ought to block the heat. Hope this helps fam!!🔥🔥
Just got the Pro Series for my birthday a few days ago. I’ve cooked smash burgers and fajitas on it already and I absolutely love it! I already have 2 air fryers so the storage in the pro series was more important to me.
So awesome! Gotta say, when I was standing there waiting for help grabbing the combo at Walmart, I gave the Pro one more serious consideration. The storage, and paper towel rack are so awesome. Great choice! I love Blackstone, and love being a “Blackstoner!” 😜. Thank you so much for chiming in!🤙
Will always listen to your advice! Great video - can you tell me how you feel 3 years later?
I just bought one this weekend. Fries came out perfect.
Woot woot!! Congratulations on the new Blackstone fam!! That is so awesome! And for sure, we love the fries from the air fryer!! GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥🤙🤙
I 100% agree with him. I bought this item in April, it has been better then I expected. I am a short order cook for my family now and they love it.. great investment.. if you have any issues with low flame, it is probably the regulator. A quick reset will fix that problem.
Yes! We cook daily with this! All three meals on Mother’s Day - the air fryers have been amazing - first time using I did have issues with the flame, but since the first cook, it’s been nearly perfect!
Just made the first meal on my new Blackstone 28” Culinary model with the air fryer. Tried smash burgers and sweet potato fries and they came out perfect. No issues with the grill but the air fryer takes longer to cook the fries than advertised. Was supposed to take 20 mins shaking the basket every 5 mins. Took more like 25-30 mins but they did come out nice and crispy. Next up- Chicken stir fry, so far so good, love this grill & never had a better burger at home.
Yes!!! The best burgers! We have a hard time ordering them out these days, because they are sooo good! Thank you so much for watching, and sharing! We are so glad you are having success on the griddle! Much love! Griddle on!!!😁❤️🤙
Great work. I am learning a lot from your channel. My wife just got me one of these for Xmas. For some odd reason, y’all remind me of Jack Black.
Wow, thank you so much for watching! I apologize for such a late response! This comment did not show up in my RUclips Studio comment section. You'll love the griddle! LOL, we get compared to Jack Black all the time, we love it!
I wish they would have included a place for a garbage bag to hang as well. I hang a garbage bag off of the utensil knobs. thank you for all the awesome videos. I just got my blackstone a month ago and love it. Griddle on!
So glad I found this. We just missed out on the unit BJ's had, but it doesn't have the air fryers. I saw the one with he air fryer on line and then your video. I think it was meant to be.
Haha!! Totally meant to be! We love this one for sure! Also, Tractor Supply also has a new air fryer combo that is really pretty. Hope you get yours soon, we love these things!! Good luck Christine!!🤗🤗
@@waltwins Oh yeah! The closest Walmart (50) miles has 1. My husband is driving there now to pick it up. Giving the kids our original and looking forward to using this one. Retiring to Cape Cod MA from NJ. Going on the deck we just finished! Great video and sure helped me make up my mind!
@@christinegregory2171 oh yay! That sounds
Amazing!! Hope all works out well! Stay safe!😄😄
I have been looking at getting this one for my first one and came across your video,thanks for the review and all. Think i'm going to get it
Now that’s and outdoor toy.. Need to look into one!!
Yes! It is so much fun! For reals, it’s almost all Brett and I talk about!🤣
SAME HERE :) Boys with their toys!
I moved the magnet strip to the back.
Thank you for a good video.
Great suggestion! Thank you so much for the kind words fam, GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥
Dam it....I watched a couple videos....now I bought one!! Thanks guys! Keep up the great vids!
Haha!! Sorry/not sorry 😜. Congratulations on the new Blackstone! Thank you so much for watching man, GRIDDLE ON!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Bought the 28" Blackstone...right next to it I have a very nice Weber Spirit grill...it now holds all of the things I use with the blackstone...I know, sacrilege but really love the versatility of the flat top.
Hahaha seems like you’re just doing it right!! We agree, so many things we can do on the flat top - it’s why we do so many of these cooks!
My husband just bought me this griddle.I am so excited about using it. I seasoned it this morning and I'm planning on making breakfast in the morning. How long do I cook the fries in the air fryer basket? This way of cooking is new to me. Thank you for your videos, they are very helpful to me!
Yay!! Congratulations on the new Blackstone!😄. Usually, if they are frozen, it takes 10-12 minutes (on medium heat). It may vary some based on where you live and outside temp. Hope this helps!! Take care Ronnie!🤗🤗
I have the ninja foodi for my air fryer and like it alot. Also I purchased my griddle with out the intentions of using another air fryer so I went with the 36" pro series for the added drawers for storage and cubby to hide the LP tank instead. Never been happier with my purchase. My griddle and my charcoal grill see more action than my kitchen stove. So many options of what you can make and make better with a griddle.
Yes!! We have friends who love their ninja foodie, and the air fryer is a perfect addition! The Pro Series was my other option, and I went back and forth for sure! Excellent choice, we just love the Blackstone!! GRIDDLE ON FAM!🤙🤙🔥🔥
I didn't know I needed this until you guys. Bless you. 😇
Hahaha! Well, you’re welcome then!😜 for reals love this thang!!
What do you use to plug in the fan without having the griddle close to the house
thanks for describing how the air fryer works
i wasn't able to find anything about the electric and the heat source
Could you run the fan on an extension cord to an outdoor outlet? Vinyl siding and heat don’t mix well.
Hello! Yes! I run an extension cord to my outdoor outlet - it requires very little power to run. Thank you so much for watching!
I think the sides can switched that way you don't knock your tools off when turning the propane on and off. And yes the magnetic side would be in the back if you flip them but that give more room in the front and its not to far of a grab for them. Thanks for your videos guys, I just bought a 36" this morning and used it at lunch and already in love. Look forward to watching a bunch of cooking videos!!
Side note: it's awesome seeing another Ginger named Brett also haha so glad I found your channel. Cheers guys!!
Yes! We have since learned this - we kept the mag strip where it is since we’ve learned to adapt - it’s a great suggestion though!! Haha!! I’ll let Brett know for sure man!! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!!🔥🔥🤙🤙
So, add a magnetic tool holder to the other shelf. They cost around $15.
@@upsmann9695 Yep I have one. I put it on the side of the propane tank underneath so I have towels on both sides and it's not in the way of anything.
are the air fryer drawers hard to clean?
Just like anything else, it depends on what you cook. But definitely easier if you clean after you use them before oil or food get caked on. Thanh you so much g it watching Bob! Griddle on!!!😁🤙❤️
😂 my first thought!
Lowes now has the combo, we assembled one today where I am at in Nashville. Maybe when it stops snowing this week, I will try it out. Interesting about the propane and electric fan for the air fryer, I wondered how that would work.
Thank you so much for watching! Yes! We’ve used the air fryer combo from Lowe’s, it is a really nice machine! Take care!🤙🤙
I love sautéing, and air frying. But my mother and for some reason my dogs do not enjoy the smoke it creates in doors. I am so excited to purchase one and be able to do everything outdoors. And with that shelf underneath. I’ve seen people by those mini storage tubs from Walmart or Home Depot and put the extra cleaning stuff and bottles in there and have it perfectly stored.
Oh yes!! It’s perfect!! I hope you are able to get one soon - it is absolutely amazing!! Perfect idea for the extra “toys” for griddling too! Take care!😄😄🔥🔥
I would like to see a side burner added to this that would be great, and another gas tank on the other side, little high in price, I agree with you about the tank and tool tray...
Thanks so much for watching! The 28” deep fryer combo has a side burner, this one works great for us.🤙🤙
Do the air frier stations get a lot of dubree in them? How easy is it to clean them and the chambers?
this is the model i got! kids love the fries I make with it, fresh from russet taters. I put them in right before I prep the burgers and it times really well. by the time im done with cooking the burgers the fries are done. I need to try some eggrolls next time I do fried rice. My only gripe, this thing blows through propane
Great call! I’ll have to do the same with fries! For sure, when using the air fryers as often as I do and cooking, we use a lot of propane.
Wife just bought me the 28” Griddle/AF combo. Found this video and found it helpful. Hoping you have a few more that help me enjoy my new toy. 🙂
Wahoo!! Congratulations on the new Blackstone fam!! For sure let us know if you have any questions! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥🤙🤙
How do you like the 28? We don’t have any kids so I thought it would be adequate but the additional cooking zones and space have me questioning getting the 36.
@@Tony-yr8es I really enjoy the 28" for family cooking (household of 4), I believe the 36" comes with 2 Air Fryer Drawers, which would be nice when doing quick lunch meals (Chicken Fingers and French Fries,) and when it comes to hosting parties, I wish I had the additional cooking space. It's as the OP suggests, no one ever says, "I wish I would have gotten the smaller version." If you have the room to store it, upgrade to the 36" IMHO.
We got ours a couple of weeks ago and absolutely love it. How does the warming drawer work? If you are air frying something at 400 degrees in the two air fryer baskets and then dump them into the warming basket, do you still leave the temp set to 400 with the blower on? Unless I missed it, I could not find any info on that in the manual.
Just purchased mine at the end of season sale at our local Walmart for 300 bucks so yes it was well worth it!!
Oh wow, totally worth it, congratulations, that is so awesome!🤙🤙
Is this like a walmart wide thing or just local? I am assuming it wont be advertised online
Just finished putting my together (this is my fifth blackstone griddle) and the two things you disliked about it were the two things I told my wife I didn't like about it also. But I can work around them. Looks like the magnetic strip is fastened by a couple screws and wouldn't take much to put it on the other side. Cant wait to find some of your videos using it.
That’s awesome! Congratulations on yet another Blackstone!😄😄. For sure the issues are so minor, a year and a half in, and we still love it!! Take care brother!🤙🤙
Great video! I’m having a hard time finding the right cover for this model. Can you tell me which cover is the correct one to purchase?
Thank you so much for watching! There is a cover that is designed for the 28" griddle and range combo (deep fryer model) - they may also have a new cover that fits as well. Hope this helps!
I have a question would it be possible to use the other 2 compartments as warmers as well on the air fryer? So essentially all 3 would be warmers instead of 1 warmer?
Thank you so much for watching! If you don’t turn on the air fryer, they actually can be used as warmers - I’ve not tested the heat inside with the fryer burner off, but you still have the griddle plate above which I can imagine would keep food warm!🤙🤙
YES...we do know the toy is worth it :) Good video and great review! Thanks for showing us the power of the air fryer. It is like you are getting two gadgets in ONE! That is pretty cool. If you keep showing this off, I think I might get jealous. Or even your wife...LOL! Thanks for the review...I keep hinting to my wife how good this looks....let us see what happens. You said you got this at Walmart huh? The one place that is still open....LOL! Have a great night and take care my friend. Have a good weekend and God bless!
Yes! This one is a Walmart exclusive, and Ace Hardware just got a Blackstone that is exclusive to them. There are many different ones, but this is still my favorite!
Passed on the Fryer and went with the Pro Series.......Love you vid's! Keep em coming!!!
Boom! Dude, I was in Walmart going back and forth - I ALMOST went with the Pro - it’s so sexy!! Both are amazing products! Congrats!! Thank you so much for watching! 🤙🤙
@@waltwins haha. I have both!!! Love them so much.
@@cheryldavidson2643 winner winner chicken dinner!!😄😄. For reals. That is so awesome!!🔥🔥
Love your video’s! What’s the height of the grilling surface from the floor?
Thank you so much for watching! It’s right around 3 feet high, maybe 3 feet and a couple of inches. Hope this helps!!🤙🤙
@@waltwins thanks guys, that helps!
Thank you for your review I just ordered one! I appreciate you
Oh awesome, congratulations fam! We absolutely love this unit, we’ve done over 400 cooks on it - and it’s amazing!! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!!🔥🔥
With the normal black stone does the electric igniter need a cord or batteries?
Thank you so much for watching! It is battery powered - hope this helps!!🤙🤙
We still take our regular air fryer out side to cook in it! We cant stand frying inside, this is amazing! Thanks !
Woot woot!! Yes! Honestly, we have been so happy with this unit! My wife was skeptical at first, but now loves it and we use it all the time!Thank you for watching!🤙🤙
I want this griddle combo but I have natural gas plumbed into my outdoor kitchen. Is there a conversion kit to convert to natural gas?
What is that knod on the bottom and what do you do with it?
Thank you for watching! The knob on the bottom is to control the air fryer cook. Both drawers cook at the same time/temp. The third drawer is a food warmer. Hope this helps!🤙🤙
you are the best. THANKS
How much have you used the warming drawer? Is it a useful feature or something that is neat but not needed?
Great question! Over 2 years, we very seldom use the drawer. That said, it did come in handy when serving larger groups - to keep burger patties or hot dogs warm. Hope this helps fam. The air fryer drawers are incredible though!🤙🤙
@@waltwins Thanks. I bought one a couple of weeks ago. Your video swayed me to get the 4 burner, because no one has ever said they wished they'd have bought the smaller one.
I need to get a black stone It would make my life so much better if you're going to buy a Blackstone in my opinion go all out I would definitely go with the air fryer part I haven't had good homemade french fries since my air fryer broke I need to get a new one thanks for another great video Glad you're doing okay stay safe out there 😃🍟🍔
You are awesome man! I can imagine you could crank out some amazing groceries on a Blackstone man!!
@@waltwins I would have a chain to my hip
Can I modify it to make it a built in, or remove the sides to put between cabinets?
Hey fam! I believe so! The top unit with the air fryers can be taken off the base, and the shelves can also be removed. Good luck!🤙🤙
So one year + later I have to ask. Is the griddle/air fryer combo worth it or should I look at just a regular black stone since I have an air fryer already? How was it held up?
Thank you so luv for watching! We have housed them well over 100 times - my wife loves the air fryer, as we can keep all the cooking outside!😄 They continue to work as well as they did the first time. Now, this was our first air fryer, so I didn’t have one to begin with, but have since gotten 2 others - we still prefer the cook outside. Hope this helps somewhat!🔥🔥
I am new to air frying. We got a 28” with the electric air fryer. I love the black-stone, but my air fryer skills need some work. I would love to see more on cooking with it. 😎
Thank you so much man! We actually have a couple of cooks where we use them, but privately we use them all the time. Unfortunately, from a “production” standpoint, the videos we use to highlight the air fryer just haven’t done as well for us. Having said that, we really hope to incorporate them more in future cooks! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Awesome. I look forward to it! I will keep working on it too. We made 1.5” pork chops cut sweet corn and cheese curds tonight. Everything turned out great! I am sure “air fryer”gets lost algorithm for all the table top units.
How much effort is needed to clean the air fryer? High maintenance out would you consider it low maintenance?
Hey One of Them, I just bought the 36 in air fryer combo and I'm looking for a cover, Do you have a cover and which one did you get? Thx
Hey! Thank you so much for watching! I had an “after market” cover I had picked up at Lowe’s that I used. But with the heavy humidity here in Florida, I found that the hood down and cover on, it would pull in moisture and the seasoning - so I don’t cover it (I am under a covered patio). Hope this helps!🤙🤙
How are you keeping your fryer baskets so clean? Ours are turning brown and it is very tough to scrub them clean.
Oh man, it’s a chore! Bret has the 28” air fryer (from Lowe’s), he said it’s best to put them in the dishwasher immediately after use (well, after the cool down of course…). I have found soaking them in really hot water with baking soda and dish soap, then scrubbing them with an SOS pad gets them super clean. But soaking them, I don’t have to use much elbow grease…🤣🤣
@@waltwins Thanks we'll give the soaking in your solution a try. We don't have a dishwasher (old house).
Def in the market for this exact cooker! I have almost perfected homemade fries. I use the girlfriends Pampered Chef crinkle cut fry maker. Soak in water for 30 for get the starch out. Drain, toss in a couple tablespoons of olive oil with seasoning (I use SPG). Almost as good as Five Guys fries!
Oh awesome!! So you sir fry them? I’ve only used the air fryer once for homemade fries, they were just okay. I used to love making my own in the deep fryer - I’ll have to give this a go! Hope you get this - we LOVE it!!
@@waltwins No sir, I used the air fryer! The one in my house, but want to try the Blackstone air fryer. I like using the water to get the starch out. I also cook fresh cut fries at closer to a medium heat (365* or so). shake them every 5 minutes. Comes out money. Wish I could post pix on youtube! Just watched your steak and cheese video, it made me sub LOL!
How long is the extension cord for the air fryer
Hey, love the video, I had the same issue with the magnetic strip. My solution was to switch the tables so now my strip is on the back right side of my griddle and it's perfect. My tools are still convenient, but are out of the way! Maybe try that out? If you do, maybe you could make another video about that.
Oh man! GENIUS! I’m not kidding, I thought about that, but thought it would be odd with them in the back - it actually makes total sense! If I do, I’ll totally give you credit! 😄🤙. Thanks so much!
@@waltwins No problem brother! Enjoy!
Just bought this my only problem is my outlet is attached to my house is it safe to put the grill up against my house
Thank you so much for watching! When cooking, we’d pull it away from the house at least 3 feet. Hope this helps!🤙🤙
Can you use it to sell food or is the airfryer to slow cooking fries and fried fish ?
Thank you so much for watching! The air fryers work quite well! They work slightly slower than a regular air fryer, but they are great! It would take a really long time to air fry fresh fries, but from frozen it would take about 10-12 minutes. Hope this helps!
I moved to central Florida about a year ago. Lanais aren't a common thing in Chicagoland area, we're having one installed now. Are there any recommendations you have for grilling underneath them...minimum height, etc?
Thank you so much for watching! We aren’t too sure Scott height - Brett has a covered porch that is approx. 8’ high and uses his regularly. These don’t give off as much smoke as a grill or smoker, and we seem to see more people who use the griddle, even in neighborhoods where grills are restricted. Hope this helps man!🤙🤙
Love the videos and thanks for comments on this Blackstone. Now that the weather is getting better a little north of you all, I have couple of questions:
1. What is the measurements of air fry baskets? 2. Do you use a lot of propane for this unit? I’m considering the 28” due to electric air fry. Thanks!
Thank you so much for watching and for the question! While we aren’t exactly sure, they are on the larger size, most likely 5.0 quart. I tried to do a bit of research when I saw your question and was surprised I couldn’t find the exact answer! For the propane use, we get 20+ hours - we have really been impressed (roughly the same we would get with a propane grill) - mostly because we cook mostly in med/low for most foods. Hope this helps!!
@@waltwins thank you so much! This helps. I tried to look for dimensions on Blackstone but couldn’t find anything.
Now do u rwcomend the propane one or the electric one?
Thank you so much for watching! We recommend the propane model - the e series is an indoor griddle, so if that would be your primary use, it’s a good option too. Hope this helps!!🔥🔥
@@waltwins thanknu
Just got one two days ago ready for my first cook today not sure what to put on it any suggestion ?
I'm going to put fries in the basket today I do know that !!!
Yay! That’s so awesome! My first cook was Smashburgers with fries, so amazing! We have the video of it on our channel - it cooked a little cooler than expected, but it was the first cook. We’ve made them several times since. Congratulations and happy cooking!🤙🤙
@@waltwins Smashburgers it is !!!
Thank you for the reply and keep cooking, I will keep watching and getting ideals :::::
does this use orifices? if you wanted to convert over to natural gas can i just install bigger orifice?
Thank you so much for watching! I believe this particular model is not compatible, although I could be wrong! To you can speak with someone at blackstoneproducts.com - hope this helps!🤙🤙
My wife is allowing one grilling/griddle device on the grill area we have in the backyard. I currently have a 5 burner master fourge that has the bottom starting to rust out. Should I just do a grill or should I make the jump and do 100% griddle? thoughts?
That’s a totally personal call - however, in my opinion 😜 - we made the jump and have absolutely no regrets! While it’s a bit of a learning curve, we heard someone say the following regarding the griddle: it can cook just about everything that a grill can, and a thousand things a grill cannot #truth. Let us know what you decide!! Ultimately I’d love to have both, but if you can only have one, the griddle will get way more use! Good luck man!🤙🤙
@@waltwins sounds good! I might try to do both if I can... i will let you both know!
How long is the AC cord? Is it 3 prong or 2?
Hello! It is a 3 ft cord, 3 prong. I run an extension cord to it when I use it.🤙
Correction, it’s a 6 ft cord! 🤙
Any idea how much les energy it uses compared to a full electric air fryer ? I want one for my RV lifer setup.
Thank you so much for watching! Honestly we aren’t sure, but the electricity is only to run the fan, so we can’t imagine it would use much energy - the unit has a separate line that feeds the propane to the burner for the air fryers. Hope this helps!!🤙🤙
There is a UL tag you can check that info on. Mine is also the electric air fryer. It’s the 28” model. Mine says 1465W at 120v so that equates to 12.2-ish AMPS
Great info, thank you. A good rule of thumb for jump cuts is never have them within 3 seconds of each other. If you must, use b roll over to mask the stuttering video. Unless you don’t care. It annoys some viewers.
Haha! Guess we found someone it annoys..😉 honestly though, I really appreciate the feedback! I’ve worked tirelessly to get better at the edits, and your feedback legit will help even more! Great call with e b roll footage - I often get “stuck” when I need a cut - that will definitely help with this. Thanks so much for watching man!🤙🤙
No bbq racks under the flat top?? Thanks
Thank you so much for watching - not quite sure what you mean? This is a griddle surface, cold rolled steel - no bbq grates.🤙🤙
@@waltwins ok thank you. Yes I meant bbq grates, some of the blackstones ive looked at have the removable flat top, with bbq grates under it.
I purchased the 36” without the air fryers, and it wasn’t because of cost, but because I already have a big box air fryer and a regular air fryer that I’ve NEVER used! Lol Two of them, and not one time have I ever used them, crazy, huh? My kids aren’t little anymore, and I don’t cook any corn dogs or chicken nuggets. But I can see where families with kids would love that feature. I just didn’t want the extra bulk when I probably won’t use them any more than the ones I already have. God Bless! 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for watching! That totally makes sense - we actually use them regularly for wings - so good!! Agree that if It’s not something you use regularly or think you will, it would not be a feature worth upgrading for. We had never owned an air fryer before, but I’m stunned at how often we use the drawers. In the last year, we’ve probably used the air fryer 50-60 times. Take care Rainy Jo, and GRIDDLE ON!😄😄🔥🔥
Hi! I’ have never owned anything other than a Weber grill..so it’s all new to me.
I ordered mine and am picking it up tomorrow. Very excited and enjoyed your very helpful videos while researching and making my decision.
Question- can u use the air fryers on their own without turning on grill?
One more- do u ever put lid down while cooking on a griddle as you would on a bbq?
Hello! Thank you so much for watching, and yay!! Congratulations!! So exciting! Yes! We use the air fryer all the time - you turn the gas on, and the fan, and then light it. The griddle cooks are typically very quick (a common “complaint” among griddle owners who want to sit back and enjoy rather than actively cook🤣), but I do use the hood often, just like I would for bbq! Hope this helps!
Thank u! 😊
How is the cleanup in the air fryer drawers?
Rough!😜 I’ve found that if I clean after a cook - even wipe and then stick in the dishwasher, they clean much better - I’ve waited a while before and it required a ton of elbow grease!🤙🤙
so, almost 2 years in. you still like it? any problems?
Thank you so much fam! We are working with Pit Boss now, but yes, this is an amazing unit! 400 cooks in, we’ve reseasoned a few times, but it’s a great machine!
Lol. I can’t put my arms down. Lol. Looks amazing. I want one.
Haha! The classic!😜. Thank you so much for watching!🤙🤙
I love this one and want it so bad. The only reason we have a smaller one is so we can fit in in our fifth wheel storage area. We have a 22 inch and love it. Wish we had room to haul this one.
Yes! We really love this - Brett (the other twin) has the 22” and loves it also! Thank you so much for watching!🤗🤗
Leaning toward the version with the 28 inch griddle and two side burners. Never used an air fryer but after watching this video I am conflicted. Going to pick up one of the two either today or tomorrow. Any feedback?
Hey man! Thank you so much for watching! I had the same issue! The side burner and fryer was the first one I fell in love with, but we are so happy we went with the air fryer combo. The 36” is a ton of cooking space, and we use the air fryer drawers on nearly every cook! We love it for sure. I’m sure you’ll be happy either way, I would consider how often you think you’ll need the deep fryer and side burner. Good luck, let us n so wait you decide!🤙🤙
@@waltwins I don't see us using the deep fryer. I do see us cooking a pasta or rice side on the side burners.
We have never used an air fryer but I think it would be awesome for frozen fried apps. Fried ravioli, mozz sticks, jalapeno poppers. Until now we have been using an indoor pizza oven for those.
@@waltwins ended up going with the 28 inch griddle with deep fryer/dual side burners. I still do not see us using the deep fryer but we have used the side burners multiple times for pasta and rice sides.
Bottom line we love it. For our family of 4 the 28 is more than adequate. If there was a 36 with side burners we would have went that route but loosing a few inches was worth gaining the side burners for us. It means all the cooking can be done on the griddle. We dont need someone inside making the side. I can do it all on the Blackstone.
I was originally worried about cleaning the griddle. We have been pleasantly surprised that it is much less work than washing multiple pans after cooking on the stove. With the occasional exception of a sauce pan the only thing we are washing are utensils, serving platter and rubbermaid containers used for marinating stuff. Not pans though which is awesome.
Amazing video and an epic review, seems like an awesome griddle!
It is man - thank you!
Did you get this at the Apopka Walmart I cant seem to find one?
I did! We sent you a message through Facebook - good luck man!🤙🤙
What a great review. Thanks so much brother!
Thank you so much fam!! Much appreciated!🤙🤙🔥🔥
No affiliate links to the product? I don't buy anything from Walmart after they were caught polluting in CA (and elsewhere), and it seems this is only available through them? That would be a shame. Nice review, as usual.
Thank you so much for watching! Unfortunately this is a Walmart exclusive - if we ever get access through Blackstone, I’ll comment back and let you know!
Are the air fryer draws pfoa free
Hey where did you buy ur airfare griddle that something i wanna get to invest in my small business an ik it will help
Thank you so much for watching! The Air Fryer Combo is exclusive to Walmart - it’s amazing! Hope you find it, would be a great investment! Would love to get updated, keep us posted!🤙🤙
Is the hood removal?
Thank you so ouch for watching! It is not a “quick release” hood, you’d have to unscrew the hood to take it off. Hope this helps!!🔥🔥🤙🤙
Do you find yourself running through propabe more frequently? Just wondering because it seems like I'd run out daily.
Thank you for watching! We didn’t notice much of a difference at all. Take care!🤙🤙
I can't decide between this one or the pro series!
Haha! Oh man, that was my exact dilemma before I got this one! My wife felt like the air fryer drawers may not be worth it. We use them all the time now though and she’s so happy else for this unit. That said, it really is personal preference! Good luck and let us know what you decide fam!🤙🤙
Did your wife question if you needed the drawers? Haha J/K Great video man! Appreciate it.
Haha! Right!! This thing is awesome fam! Let us know if you have any questions! Take care!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Buy an extension and quick connect fitting. Single if you only want 1 line. They come in various lengths with fittings. Then you can put your tank any where you want to hide it. Mine is hooked into my deck LP gas system. It is supplied from my 800L tank that runs the gas stove, fire place, home radiant heat boiler. water tank and last but not least my grill!
Thank you so much for watching and for the suggestion! We will be looking into it hopefully this summer!!🔥🔥🤙
Finally purchased the 36” griddle air fryer combo. Been loving the griddle! I wanted to use the air fryer for the first time yesterday and found that all three baskets were full of water. The griddle is kept outside and always covered, I don’t understand how they could be full of water. Have you ever experienced this, or maybe heard of it happening? I haven’t even tried to plug it in yet to see if it works. I’ve looked everywhere for an answer and can’t seem to find one.
Thank you for watching and congratulations on the new air fryer! We have never experienced or heard about this - I can’t even think of what would cause this! I would think once dried, they should still function - keep us posted!🔥🔥
Ours is kept outside as well and has been through a good rain storm a few times and we have never had water in the air fryers or griddle top. Very strange why yours is filling up.
Can a natural gas line be used instead of the propane tank?
Hello! It’s my understanding that the Air Fryer combo cannot be converted - there is no conversion kit - however, many others can including the pro series. Thanks so much for watching!
can this be turned into a built in unit?
Thank you so much for for watching! There a great question, we’ve seen some images of some who have used it in a built-in, that said, there is an additional area under the air fryer units that would need protecting, as the burners for the gas line run just behind the air fryers. Otherwise, I think it would work fine!🤙🤙
Thanks for the reply. Went online to buy it and they are no where to be found. Im in south florida and checked all the walmarts in the area.
The small things always make the product better...magnets and tank placement :) could def be a quick fix and a useful one by Blackstone.
I never thought I'd use the air fryers as much as we do. Hint- left over deep fried french fries are soooooo good reheated in the air fryer. So the next time you eat out and have to decide to take the left over french fries home don't hesitate.
Oh man, the air fryers are a game-changer! My wife was concerned we were wasting money paying for the air fryer model, but it’s her favorite part! We use them all the time!!😄😄🤙🤙
Around here it's $649 which is another $250-$350 over the griddle. It seems nice but i am choking on the price difference and doing the lower carb thing will I 'really' use the air fryer?
We get it - my wife didn’t want to pay the difference either, but we use the air fryer all the time, making it totally worth it for us. Cheers!🤙🤙

It's just so hard to know if I would use it. I got the premium blackstone 36 griddle ordered today from lowes. Mayble I'll try a separate air fryer later.
My concern from the beginning is that with all the electric air fryers on the market, I have the Ninja Foodie multi cooker that air fries too. btw Using the air fryer to me is a waste of the propane. Imo. I can always take my Ninja to my outdoor kitchen, and everything is close together.
You’re right. But we did love using this one. It’s a great way to do multiple things in the two air fryers. We also love our ninja foodie as we use it all the time!😋🤗😁
Are the air frier drawers sealed? Keeping lizards out?
Thank you so much for watching! I’m not entirely sure - because sure has to flow up and in, and I know there is some space under the griddle, it’s really hard to say! I’d check out Blackstoneproducts.com to be sure! When we checked on the site, they have a “live chat” feature that gives you access to talk directly with someone. We have many lizards in our covered area, but we’ve never had one in the air fryer.🤙🤙
Thank you! I'm getting one!
Wahoo! You will love it!! Thank you so much for watching!!💙💙🔥🔥
Bro, from Kissimmee, just got mine yesterday. Did my most delicious stir fry and veggies on it for the 1st cook. Doing smash burgers tonight. I am in love with it already!
Yes!!! Haha! Best thing ever, right?!? Thank you so much for watching! Griddle on!!!😁❤️🤙
So I made the mistake of buying a smaller griddle and have decided I need to have the largest one Blackstone makes LOL since I bought the smaller one I have cooked on it almost every night for dinner and have made breakfast weekends for just short of a month LOL I love cooking on it but its too small so I am going to get the 36 inch but not sure an airfryer is ideal for me
Wow! Yes! We love cooking on this monster! The other 36” models are great as well. Thank you so much for watching fam!🤙🤙
