Here’s why I love the Blackstone 36″ griddle and where to get the lowest price!
Ready to take your cookout game to the next level? 🍔 🥓
When my husband and I were setting out to buy a propane grill back in the summer of 2019, I couldn’t believe how expensive they were!
On top of that, the selection was so overwhelming. I really had no idea how we were going to figure out which one to buy, and how to get the best price for it.
Then we came across the propane-powered flat top griddle style grills and loved the idea of having so much more versatility with what we could cook outside. I spotted this Blackstone 36″ griddle with amazing reviews. It was also way more affordable compared to other grills we had seen.
And the griddle top is HUGE – I love that you can grill up so much stuff all at once! 🙌 Plus, this would make a great gift for any dad who considers himself a “grill master”!
One of the first foods I wanted to test out was bacon. If you’ve been following Hip2Save, you likely know I live a ketogenic lifestyle (and even launched a website all about keto!), so being able to cook my beloved bacon outdoors on this flat top was a huge win for me! 🥓 It crisps up perfectly, and it’s now my preferred cooking method.
On a standard grill with grates, I’d have to cook the bacon either on foil or in a grilling pan, along with constantly worrying about flare-up from the bacon grease. Even better, I can make a whole breakfast on this cooktop by throwing some eggs into the mix! 🥚
Sautéing onions on this griddle flat top is also easy peasy—no basket or other cooking vessels are required. Then that savory onion taste infuses into whatever food I cook on top of that spot, like burger patties or jalapeño poppers. 😋
This Blackstone 36″ griddle has a flat top, so we can grill up an entire meal for our family (with room to spare). No need to worry about hot spots either since the whole griddle heats evenly.
Cleaning the Blackstone 36″ griddle couldn’t be easier!
Using a flattened metal scraper, you can clear off the surface of food debris in a single swipe. Then, just scoop up the pile of scraps and toss it into the garbage — a clean top in just a matter of seconds! It’s so EASY!
I get that some people may prefer traditional grated grills and can’t part with those perfectly parallel grilling marks, but for me, this griddle exceeds my expectations for an outdoor cooking appliance.
Functional, frugal, and perfect for my fat-fueled lifestyle!
One of my sidekicks also bought a Blackstone griddle, and she has been so impressed too! She has made everything from bacon and scrambled eggs to French toast, pancakes, fajitas, potatoes, and so much more! She also loves the size and versatility of this griddle, and how easy it is to keep clean after use.

“We spend a lot of time roaming around in our travel trailer and with our Blackstone, we don’t have to rely on a campfire to cook our meals. My husband cooks anything from steaks and salmon to shrimp fried rice. He absolutely LOVES it! (And I love that he always wants to cook!)” – Kelli
“I got one for my hubby for Christmas and I use it almost every day!!! We have it on our patio next to our Weber grill and we can finally cook all of the food that we need for a meal to feed our family of six-including two teenage sons! My only regret is not getting one sooner!!!! “- adyost6
“I gave this griddle to my husband for a Father’s Day gift last year! He loves it, and as an added bonus, he’s been doing more cooking. 🙌 It’s awesome because the clean-up is easy, and it’s all outdoors which means my kitchen stays clean. YES!” – Jenna
“I thought I would miss the “grilled” taste/marks, but our steaks are just as delicious and are actually easier to make now.” – Misty
“One of the best purchases we have made in a long time! My kids love it when we have hibachi night at home. It’s so much cheaper than going out for hibachi, plus I think it’s healthier too! You need this griddle in your life ASAP!” – Bethany
