Blackstone Tabletop Griddle. For a while, we have been doing our van cooking on a simple single burner butane stove. We made this work, but it is mainly just to supplement when cooking on a camp grill.

Blackstone Tabletop Griddle Review

The Blackstone Gas 17” Tabletop Griddle is the smallest griddle in the Blackstone lineup, slightly smaller than its two-burner 22” sibling. This small size in no way hinders this griddle’s ability to cook up a storm. You name it, and this little beast can more than likely cook it.

Blackstone Tabletop Griddle – First Impressions

After opening up the box to pry my eyes on the shining stainless steel front before placing it on the table. I was thrown by the size. The 17-inch model is bigger than I had imagined. Hopefully, I can still find a convenient place to store it in the van.

Propane Hookup

The Blackstone Tabletop Griddle comes standard to fit the small one-pound propane cylinders. You can, however, get a hose and regulator to fit 20-pound bottles via the Blackstone website. I think I will order this for next season.

Seasoning The Griddle Plate

Before you can cook, you have to season the plate, which is basically burning a layer of oil onto the metal creating a stick-resistant cooking surface.

The thick 10 gauge griddle plate sears portions of meat to create that tasty golden-brown crust everyone loves. And no more crowding a frypan trying to cook bacon! Now we can cook a whole pack in one go!
