BLACKSTONE1814 Stainless Steel Propane Gas Portable, Flat Top Griddle Frill Station for Kitchen, Camping, Outdoor, Tailgating, Tabletop, Countertop – Heavy Duty & 12, 000 BTUs, 17 Inch, Black

Bought this for my boyfriend’s birthday! Hands down one of the best purchases I’ve ever made on this app. Super easy to assemble (coming from someone who is horrible at putting things together 😂) and use. We’ve already used it for camping and a Memorial Day beach day. Easy to travel with! Definitely recommend

Does a great job. Have been using the small bottles of propane but suspect might want to get a larger tank. There is just two of us so I purchased the 17 inch. I wish I had gotten the 22 inch but it works fine.

We purchased this for when it's just the two of us or a small group. Great for cooking a variety of food. Love the grilled veggies cooked on this.

This 17" Blackstone griddle with a hood works just as well as most of the YT videos say the larger Blackstones work, and I'm enjoying cooking on it. During seasoning the main area got to about 600 degrees so it gets hot enough for any cooking use. The corners don't get quite as hot of course. After seasoning it is nonstick and easy to clean while still hot using a scraper or heavy spatula and a squirt of water. It's much more versatile than a grill and it cooks very well using low to medium heat for most things.There are lots of helpful videos on how to use these griddles. Unlike some brands, the owners manual says the attached hood can be used for cooking for up to 10 minutes. It also helps protect the griddle surface when it's not in use so I'm glad I got the version with a hood. Also use a thin coat of cooking oil if it's not going to be used again for awhile to prevent rust. This one-burner griddle is probably large enough for two to maybe four people for most things. It's not tiny..I used up one 1-lb bottle of propane when thoroughly seasoning the griddle so buy at least two to start. (I burned off any factory coating, then used canola oil and applied four thin layers of seasoning burning off each for about 15-20 minutes, which took close to two hours total on high. You will need tongs and paper towels.) After that, one bottle lasts through several meals depending on how long it's on and the heat setting. You could also buy the Blackstone hose with low pressure valve and use a larger propane tank if you don't mind a heavy tank.Edit to add: My son gave me a little refillable 5-lb propane tank which lasts much longer, seemingly longer than five of the 1-lb ones and I love it. I now also have a 10-lb second tank. I get these filled at my hardware store and like them much better than the 1-lb disposables.. (I can't lift a full regular 25-lb tank.)I use this griddle more often than I thought I would. I especially love it for smashburgers.Re the size:This "little" griddle with hood is larger and much heavier than I expected but it could be used when camping. Mine stays on an 18" x 30" stainless steel worktable at home, with an additional generic rain cover that covers it and the table. The body of the griddle overhangs the table just slightly front to back, but the feet of the griddle easily sit on the 18" deep table. (The feet could sit on a 12" (front to back) surface but there would be a lot of overhang of the rest of the griddle both front and back.) With a propane bottle attached the table has a little space left for a spatula and small dish at the side, and a lower shelf and wheels. I only needed and wanted a small griddle and some workspace for a small area. (I liked this table better than the 17" griddle model that comes with a Blackstone "cart.") Very happy with the purchase.The 5-pc utensil kit (large spatulas, scraper, squeeze bottles for oil and water) and the disposable foil grease cup liners are also useful.

Returned as it was too heavy for my planned use.

Perfect for tailgating and small group camping. Easy cleanup, cooks evenly, doesn’t take up too much room, easy transport.

Good. Small and compact for camping. Get the wind blockers because it’s worthless on a windy day. Make sure you aren’t using a plastic table top.

This 17 inch Blackstone Griddle is the perfect size for 3 or 4 people to cook really good meals. The key is seasoning it properly before you start using it. Follow the manual instructions for that. If you want to use this with a 20 pound propane tank you will need a propane hose with a regulator because the built in regulator is only for the 1 pound canisters. I can see myself using this griddle several times a week. If you are looking for a griddle for 3 to 4 people this is the one to get.
