Hinged Lid for 17in Blackstone Griddle - Hard Cover Hood

Our review of the DELSbbq hinged lid finds it best suited for 17in tabletop griddle owners who want faster cooking and easier cleanup. The single biggest reason to buy is its practical hinged design combined with a durable steel construction and heat resistant coating that creates an oven-like environment over the griddle. Installation is straightforward and customers report it fits common 17in models, so this lid is a simple upgrade if you often steam vegetables, melt cheese, or want to keep food warm without extra equipment.

Key Features

• Universal fit: Designed to fit most brand 17in griddles including popular 1650, 1832, 1971, 2142, 1814 and 1900 style models, reducing fit-guesswork for owners.
• Back-hinged design: The practical hinge and handle let you open and close the lid with one hand while keeping hands away from hot surfaces for safer operation.
• Durable steel construction: Made from high quality steel with a heat resistant coating for improved longevity and easy surface cleaning with a damp cloth.
• Creates oven-like cooking: The hood height traps heat and steam to speed cooking, keep meats juicy, and melt cheese without needing a separate dome.
• Integrated temperature gauge: A built-in gauge lets you quickly check internal temperatures without lifting the lid and losing heat.
• Cleaner griddle area: The hard cover hood reduces splatters and keeps the cooking surface tidy when not in active use.

Who It's For

This lid is ideal for backyard cooks and tailgaters who use a 17in tabletop griddle and want to expand cooking techniques such as steaming, braising, or finishing burgers with melted cheese. It suits owners who value an easy, one-handed lid action and a durable metal hood that stays cleaner than makeshift covers.

It is less appropriate for people who need a factory-original branded hood with exact bracket matches for unusual chassis, or those who require a fully weatherproof cover for long-term outdoor storage rather than an active cooking hood.
