Blackstone 22 Omnivore Tabletop Griddle with Hard Cover - Portable

In this review the Blackstone 22 Omnivore Tabletop Griddle is judged as a portable, user-friendly flat top for small groups and outdoor cooking. The bottom line: buy it if you want a compact griddle that heats evenly and travels well. Its defining strength is the Blackstone-patented Omnivore griddle plate, which resists warping and maintains high heat while using fuel efficiently. The included hard cover and non-slip feet make it genuinely practical for camping, tailgates, or a small backyard setup.

Key Features

• Portable convenience: The compact footprint and included hard cover make it easy to transport and protect the griddle top during travel.
• Omnivore griddle plate: The patented plate is designed to prevent warping and deliver even heat across the cooking surface for consistent results.
• Spacious cooking area: With 361 square inches of cooking space you can cook multiple items at once, such as up to 14 smash burgers or a full breakfast spread.
• Two heated zones: Two independently controlled burners deliver a combined 21,000 BTUs so you can cook different foods at different temperatures on the same surface.
• Rear grease management: Grease and debris are guided to the rear collection system for easier cleanup after cooking.
• Simple ignition and stability: Push-and-turn Piezo ignition and non-slip feet mean quick starts and a steady cooking platform.

Who It's For

The Blackstone 22 Omnivore suits campers, tailgaters, and small households who need a genuinely portable griddle with enough space for group meals. It is ideal for people who cook breakfast foods, smash burgers, or cook for two to four guests and value even heat and easy cleanup.

Those who need a full backyard griddle with a larger cooking area or integrated cart features should look elsewhere; this model is a tabletop unit best used on a stable surface for mobile or compact outdoor setups. It is not intended as a full kitchen replacement for very large gatherings.

Pros & Cons

Cons
