We’re in the midst of grilling season, and even if you’re not the biggest barbecue fan, you’ll probably admit that there’s something special about burgers and veggies cooked to perfection in the open air — appetizing grill marks and all. But operating a grill can be pretty intimidating, regardless of whether you’ve tried cooking on a charcoal grill or an electric model. That’s where the Blackstone two-in-one grill comes in. This internet-famous patio essential is easily operable for even the most amateur grillmaster, and right now, you can get it for $250 during Prime Day. Normally priced at $300, the Blackstone is pretty affordable to begin with, but you’ll still want to take advantage of this deal. It can handle pretty much any type of food, from steaks to pancakes, so you can rest assured that you’ll get plenty of use out of yours.

What is the Blackstone Flat Top Gas Griddle?

At 28-inches long, the Blackstone griddle is compact enough for small patios and decks. But you still get a large cooking surface thanks to the fold-out side shelf, which holds ingredients while you use the flat top. Additionally, the cooktop is made of ceramic-coated steel, a material that distributes heat evenly (say goodbye to grill hot spots!) and is super versatile. It also has two burners, so you can easily control the temperature of each area and adjust it to whatever you’re cooking. You can grill the basics like burgers and hot dogs, and because of the grate-free design, you can also prepare pizza, stir-fry vegetables, and even scramble eggs. Like any other Blackstone model, this one features a patented rear grease management system, which makes removing grease and other residue a breeze. And, thanks to the grill’s lockable swivel wheels, you’ll have no problem transporting it during road trips or tailgates and also keeping it stationary.

What Amazon Reviewers Are Saying

Average Rating: 4.7/5

“This griddle has added so much fun to our outdoor cooking that we find ourselves making excuses to use it. Truly an outstanding purchase. The quality of construction is excellent, and assembly was super easy.” — Anita

“Cooking on a flat-top is the only way to tailgate! This is an excellent grill. Well-made and sturdy with two shelves and its own fold-up stand. The price is also great! Can’t recommend it enough. Make sure you season it and clean it properly after each use to make it last!” — Emily

“Bought this as a gift for my son. He said it was very easy to assemble. I also bought a container of the conditioner, and he applied as directed. I have been invited twice for dinner: steak and grilled shrimp and then smash burgers with bacon. Both meals were delicious, and the cooking time was quick. He said it was one of the best presents ever!” — Karen

Other reviewers noted that they were able to load the grill up into their truck or RV and to enjoy freshly grilled eats on the go. Now that you can snag the popular Blackstone grill for a discounted price, go for it! It’ll make you enjoy summer that much more.
