Key Features

• Exact model fit: Designed specifically for the Blackstone 22 in Omnivore 1666 (2024 model), so buyers know the lid targets that griddle version.
• Hinged, hands-free design: The lid opens and closes from the front and stores itself while cooking, freeing both hands and avoiding the need to lift and hang a bulky cover.
• Weather resistance: Constructed from materials meant to resist water when stored outdoors, helping protect the griddle surface from rust.
• Thermometer included: Built-in temperature gauge gives more control while cooking and helps reduce guesswork on cook times.
• Complete mounting kit: The package includes the 22 in griddle hinged lid and mounting parts so installation is possible with a screwdriver (not included).
• Time-saving: By reducing heat loss during cooking, the hood can shorten cook times and improve efficiency on the griddle.
