Blackstone Original 36-In Omnivore Griddle with Hood, Extendable Side Shelves & Wheels

Upgrade your outdoor cooking setup with the Blackstone Original 36-In Omnivore Griddle. Designed for practical versatility, it combines a vast flat-top surface with efficient heat management and smart storage solutions to support social meals and weeknight family favorites alike. The Omnivore griddle plate heats quickly, recovers heat efficiently, and helps conserve fuel while maintaining consistent high temperatures across the 768 square inch top. Four independently controlled burners give you granular control, so you can sear burgers on one zone while warming buns or sautéing vegetables on another—without crowding the pan or temp settings.

Key design details boost your workflow from prep to plates. The x-braced hood provides coverage and heat retention between rounds, and the dual folding side shelves plus an extendable side shelf deliver generous prep and serving space, keeping your tools within arm’s reach. The BAR System enables accessory customization, so you can tailor the setup to your routine. A built-in side shelf rail bin stores two 32 oz squeeze bottles or tools, while built-in hooks, a bottle opener, and a paper towel holder help streamline cooking and serving. Mobility is easy thanks to caster wheels, and the hood protects the griddle between uses, preserving its surface for the next session.

Practical benefits at a glance:

• Large capacity supports multi-dish meals and crowd-friendly gatherings with a single surface.
• Four heat zones enable parallel cooking at different temperatures for complex menus.
• One-button ignition provides a quick, reliable start without matches.

• Expanded prep and serving space from dual folding shelves and extendable side shelf for organized workflows.
• BAR System compatibility lets you personalize the griddle with compatible Blackstone accessories.
• Rear grease management, locking wheels, and a built-in hood simplify cleanup, transport, and storage.

Real-life use scenarios shine through in everyday outdoor entertaining. Imagine grilling burgers, searing vegetables, and toasting buns across separate zones while a dedicated prep area keeps toppings ready. The hood and wind guards help maintain steady heat during breezy afternoons, and the rail bin keeps bottles and utensils neatly arranged for quick access. This setup invites you to experiment with flavors—from smoky sear marks to crisp sautéed veggies—without sacrificing organization or pace. While results will vary with heat, weather, and fuel, the design is geared toward making outdoor cooking more approachable and flexible for a wide range of gatherings.
