Turn your backyard into a functional kitchen with this Blackstone griddle. With an extra-large cooking surface, two prep shelves, individually controlled burners and a storage cabinet, this gas griddle allows you to prep, cook, and serve right in your backyard. Ample cooking space: The extra-large rolled steel cooking surface can cook anything from pancakes to stir fry or veggies to meats. Whether you are cooking for your family or the whole neighborhood, our flat griddle has you covered. Four individually controlled burners allow you to control the heat on every inch of this large griddle. You can cook on one side and use the other side as a warming zone for prepared food. Burners are evenly spaced to prevent hot or cold spots. Prep, cook & store, all in one place: Two large shelves extend from the sides for food prep, and a cabinet and two drawers below the cooking surface offer plenty of space for storing cooking tools and spices when you're done griddling. Patented rear grease management system: If you plan on cooking bacon or any other juicy meats, clean-up can be tedious. Luckily, Blackstone griddles feature a rear grease trap that collects all the mess and makes after-cooking clean-up a breeze. This model is not compatible with natural gas or the Blackstone Natural Gas Conversion Kit, model 5249.
