I bought this Model from Lowes online and it was delivered a week later. Your video is fantastic. I didn't know the two trays colapsed, that explains why the cover wouldn't fit. Thanks again for a great video!
Tom, so glad you found this video helpful! That’s why I do these videos and it makes me feel so good when people find them helpful. Fold them side tables in and get that bad boy covered. Thanks so much for watching, I truly appreciate it!
I just bought my first griddle two weeks ago I got the same exact griddle you have only in 30 inch and it’s a three burner so far I don’t regret taking the plunge and spending the money that thing is just a cooking machine it’s fantastic
Glad the video helped you decide on the right size! I don’t think you can go wrong with the 36”. That’s why I do these videos to help folks make the best informed decision. Hope you enjoy your griddle. Thanks for watching!
I have not had that issue after using it for a year now. You probably could have that problem if you weren't careful. Not an issue I've had or seen to be a problem. Thanks for watching!
Dude... life saving review! Perfect. I purchased online and then had serious buyers remorse with the size and measuring my back yard and then not being able to find any info on it. You hit EVERYTHING I needed to know (especially the folding wings).
So glad this hit the points you needed to know! I try to be as detailed as I can in my walkthrough’s. It’s your hard earned money and you want to make sure your getting the cooker that will fit your needs. I have no doubt you will love cooking on this griddle (it’s awesome) thanks so much for watching and for the kind words!
Thanks for the thorough review. I bought a 36 inch with removable lid on from BJs in March since it was $100 off, costing us only $299. I wish I would have seen your review because I would have bought this one with the lid you can cook with. But it is manageable right now and I love cooking on it. Thanks for giving such a good review, one I can share with some friends who are interested. Nice job.
That’s a great deal at $299, I’m jealous! I’m glad you enjoyed the walkthrough. I am all about giving people the leg up on a product so they can decide if it’s for them or not beforehand. Thanks so much for watching!
So glad you liked the video. I think your going to love this blackstone. Roughly 3 months into owning it and over 30 cooks on it and I can honestly say it was worth the investment. So much fun to cook on! Thanks for watching!
Do you have issues with rust on the lid or sides? From the lowes website that seems to be a very common complaint from this model is the rust that develops so quickly. I want to keep mine in my backyard covered. I’m pondering this model and one model similar to it at a Academy for the same price. Thanks!
Tyler, I keep mine outside covered. It does get normal rust on it but it isn't anything major that I've noticed you can usually buff it out pretty easily. I wouldn't let it deter you from getting this model.
Walmart has a hooded 36" version for 399. Lowes has this one for 450. Looks like the lowes one weighs about 10 pounds more in description. Was trying to figure out differences between them
I saw this in Lowes and the base seems more sturdy. I also read on the Blackstone site that the Natural Gas Conversion kit does not work on these grills. I think that the removal tool does not work on the jets. I think I also saw you can get another tool, but it would need to be verified. Happy Cooking
Thank you for this. My wife just go me and at first I was like....uh, not sure this is what I want to cook on (hating my current grate grill). I'm feeling better and may just get a small charcoal for the other stuff. My biggest issue is that I'm always corroding burners on every grill no matter how vigilant I try to be. This will solve that problem!
I have a feeling you will love this griddle. So versatile and fun to cook on. Having a small charcoal grill is a great way to compliment this great griddle. Thanks so much for watching!
I just got this exact griddle at Lowe's. I have not put it together yet but I'm looking forward to it this weekend thanks for this video it sealed the deal. Also it being the only one in stock near me. I would have preferred to have a stainless steel model body but I have a cover for it so it should be good
Awesome! Glad the video helped seal the deal for you. Your cover will help protect. I am a huge advocate for always getting a cover for outside bbq cookers/bbq toys. Though it’s not stainless steel it will hold up well covered. Now, get that bad boy assembled and start cooking some amazing food! Thanks for watching!
How does the garbage bag attach to the frame? Do you just put the bag around it and cinch up the draw string? Seems like you might have to tie the bag or string to keep it from falling off.
No tying or cinching at all. You just put the bag around the outer frame and roll it around the outer edges. Fits just like it would on a garbage can. I will tell you it works great. I’ll show it in a future video when I do my full review. Thanks for watching!
Good morning, whached your vision on your new grill you said your brought it at Lowes , the ones I am looking at the LID , yours is bolted on to the cooking top Right the ones I see at Lowes web site their lid some how hangs in the back of the grill is that different than what you have?? can you please send me the modal no. if possible thank you Gary from AZ
Gary, mine is not bolted on it sits hinged on a couple of screws. It’s made that way so you can leave it attached or you can remove it. It’s an awesome design in my opinion. You can remove it and drop it down to hang on the back as well. It’s the only model Lowe’s sells right now. The one you see on their website currently is the one I have. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Anytime! I look forward putting some cooks out on this beast. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed when you see one in person. Thanks so much for watching!
Oscar, I bought a char broil cover at a thrift shop for mine. I got it for like $5. I couldn't pass that deal up. If I were you I'd look for one that will fit a 36". There are alot of universal covers out there.
I don't know if mine is messed up but trying to take the lid off isn't happening. I have tilted it every which way and it doesn't come off unless the griddle is slide forward.
@@TeeWayEatzBBQTreatz I've got the same problem. Actually, I took the lid off before I assembled the grill but now that I've finished the assembly, I cannot get the lid on!! I am trying to put it on by myself at the moment (which I think should be possible) but getting super frustrated! Can you post a video of how you are taking it off on on?? Thanks
I’d call blackstone or return it to Lowe’s. You shouldn’t be having issues like that after only one use. Calling blackstone and utilizing the warranty may be the easier option than taking it apart and taking it back to the store. Hope you get it fixed. Good luck! Thanks for watching!
I would definitely still get a cover. While the lid would help keep certain “debris” off the surface it really isn’t meant to be the sole cover from the outside elements. I always say “protect your investment”. Thanks for watching!
I'm not your typical DYI guy......but putting together, firing up, seasoning this griddle was easy if you follow the directions step by step. One screw/hold did not line up but I see no issue since there is plenty of support.
The height is perfect for me. I thought at first it may be a lil tall for my liking compared to other models. However, after using it I couldn’t be happier. Thanks for watching!
Richard, Hood isn’t bent. I laid some seasoning conditioner under my hood before I did the walkthrough. Hood looks bent in the video but all is good in the “hood” as they say 🤣🤣. Thanks for watching!
This particular model is available in a 30” and a 36” model. They look exactly the same with all the same features. One is just smaller than the other. The 30” is $299.99 and the 36” is $399.99. The one featured in this video is the 36”. There are a ton of 36” blackstone models on the market this is just the newest Lowe’s exclusive. Most of them are very similar. Some of them have more bells and whistles than others. Do your research online and find out what features are more important to you. I love the model in this video as it fits all of my needs and then some. Thanks for watching!
Good to know. I was under the impression that all of the blackstone griddles were convertible (kinda dumb they aren’t). Thanks for the info on the culinary series good info to know!
I wasn’t aware that the Culinary series griddles (got mine at Lowes) couldn’t be converted to natural gas...that is, until yesterday. The conversion kit clearly says says it works on all 36” Blackstone griddles. I ran into an issue during the conversation and had to call Blackstone. They informed me that the Culinary series griddles aren’t compatible and it would void my warranty if I converted it. That very likely would have influenced my buying decision had I known that. I would have still purchased a Blackstone, but I would have purchased one that could be converted to. natural gas. I was really looking forward to not having to fiddle with propane tanks again. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but it would have been nice to know ahead of time.
That is a bummer. Like I said I was under the impression all blackstone’s could be converted. I mean you can still technically convert it sounds like, but your warranty is voided. Which blows! You could wait the warranty out then convert I guess. All of these griddles should be convertible in my opinion.
Thank you for this review! Please tell me what the difference is between the Lowe’s black stone and Walmart’s black stone? Does the higher model number, mean that it’s a newer model?
I can tell you the biggest difference is the caddy on the front and the attached hinged hood are probably the biggest differences. The Lowe’s model is also a tad taller than previous models. I honestly am not sure on the model numbers and their sequence to disseminate newer models from older ones. My advice would be not to focus on a model number but more on the model and it’s features. You cannot go wrong with a 36” but, some have a couple more bells and whistles than others. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!!
Bob, I actually realized the hood looked lopsided when I was reviewing video. I figured everyone would think it was jacked up. Fortunately, it is not. Just the griddle conditioner I had sitting underneath it during the video 🤣. I’m glad you watched to the end to find that out. Hope the video helped you. Thanks so much for watching!
I’ve seen that model. I considered that one as well. I think that’s a sharp looking unit too. Very similar to the Lowe’s model but you get a bottle opener and some hooks on that one if I’m not mistaken. I think that would be a solid one to go with as well. I think you’ll be very happy with it.
I'm on the fence about this one or the Ace model too. They're the same price. If you're a rewards member, Ace will put it together and deliver it for free, so there's that to consider. That would be nice just so I don't have to cut up the box to fit it in the recycling bin.
Scott, I’ve roughly been using this for close to two weeks now. I’m LOVING IT! I literally have cooked 2-3 meals a day everyday since getting it. I wish I’d pulled the trigger years ago. No matter what model blackstone you get or other griddle you decide on I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Awesome cooker and a ton of fun to cook on. Thanks for watching!
Walmart has one for $274 that has everything that 1 has except the waste paper basket Plus it has Collapsible Side tables, 4 Hooks on one side table, Magnetic strip on the other side table And it looks a little better than that 1 does from the front the knobs are beautiful. 36" 4 burner
I know the one your talking about. It’s a good looking griddle as well and at $274 a darn good price if you can pick it up. Walmart usually runs sales about right now for older models and due to the newer models emerging which is great. I love the unit showcased in this video though. I’ve got about 20 cooks on it and have not been dissatisfied. If you can find a bargain at $274 though I think that’s a great pick up. Thanks for watching!
Great video! I enjoyed the detail and your right it’s a big expense so I hung on every word. Thank you!
I just got the exact same one today for my birthday and I’m so excited to use it!! Thank you for the review
Happy Birthday! What an awesome 🎁! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Thanks so much for watching!

Get that sucker assembled and start cooking! You are about to create some amazing food! Thanks for watching!

Great video! Your the reason I went with the 36 inch.
Glad the video helped you decide on the right size! I don’t think you can go wrong with the 36”. That’s why I do these videos to help folks make the best informed decision. Hope you enjoy your griddle. Thanks for watching!
Looks like when you would put a cover on it you stand a chance of knocking the grease tray off?

Thanks for you review man, I am buying this model this weekend and can't wait to use it!

It's been over a year, how are you liking it?
Hi what cover do you use for this grill…

I bought a char broil cover at a thrift shop for mine. I got it for like $5. I couldn't pass that deal up. If I were you I'd look for one that will fit a 36". There are alot of universal covers out there.
Great review. I just got mine yesterday. My gas tank sits crooked. Can you tell me if yours sits flush? Thanks.
Mark, mine sits angled as well. That’s just the way they designed it. You don’t have a faulty unit. All is well. Thanks for watching!
@@TeeWayEatzBBQTreatz Thanks for the reply!! I feel better.
Holy cow, I had the same question, thanks for replying to the other guy.
I don't know if mine is messed up but trying to take the lid off isn't happening. I have tilted it every which way and it doesn't come off unless the griddle is slide forward.
It can be a little tricky by yourself. I’ve gotten decently good at removing mine. Definitely helps to have another set of hands.

I am trying to put it on by myself at the moment (which I think should be possible) but getting super frustrated! Can you post a video of how you are taking it off on on?? Thanks
What is the model number? That’s when I know what to go and buy.
My grill popped up and bent the metal it sits on. On my first use.. The griddle don't lock the holes don't match up.
I’d call blackstone or return it to Lowe’s. You shouldn’t be having issues like that after only one use. Calling blackstone and utilizing the warranty may be the easier option than taking it apart and taking it back to the store. Hope you get it fixed. Good luck! Thanks for watching!
So with that lid do you need a cover still for outside storage
I would definitely still get a cover. While the lid would help keep certain “debris” off the surface it really isn’t meant to be the sole cover from the outside elements. I always say “protect your investment”. Thanks for watching!
What model is this
I'm not your typical DYI guy......but putting together, firing up, seasoning this griddle was easy if you follow the directions step by step. One screw/hold did not line up but I see no issue since there is plenty of support.
I agree assembly was pretty easy and straight forward. Thanks for watching!
Will this unit require wind guards?
Now that you’ve had this and used it, does the height of the griddle bother you?
The height is perfect for me. I thought at first it may be a lil tall for my liking compared to other models. However, after using it I couldn’t be happier. Thanks for watching!
