If you have been waiting all year to upgrade your backyard cooking setup, Amazon Prime Day Blackstone Griddle Deals in 2026 are the moment we have been watching for. Every July, prices on Blackstone griddles drop hard, and our team has tracked down 15 deals that genuinely beat their regular price. Whether you want a 36-inch beast for Saturday brunch crowds or a portable 22-inch for tailgating, this list covers the full lineup.
Blackstone owns the flat top grill market for good reason. Their propane griddles heat evenly, clean up fast thanks to the rear grease management system, and turn breakfast into a one-pan operation. We pulled current Amazon listings, cross-checked Walmart and Lowe’s, and only included models where the sale price actually beats the typical street price. No inflated “discounts” here.
Our team compared 15 models over three weeks of price monitoring. We focused on cooking surface area, BTU output, portability, and whether Prime shipping is available. Below you will find our top three quick picks, a full comparison table, detailed reviews of every griddle, a buying guide, and answers to the questions our readers ask most.
524 sq in cooking space
34,000 BTU combined
Two independently controlled H-burners
I have cooked on the Blackstone 1883 for six months, and it has earned the top spot on our list. The 524 square inch cooking surface handles 21 burgers or 15 pancakes at once, which means our Saturday breakfast for six happens in one batch instead of three rounds.
The two H-style burners push out 34,000 BTU combined, and you can run them independently. I keep one burner on low for onions while the other scorches smash burgers on the hot side. That temperature flexibility is what makes a flat top grill worth buying over a traditional grill.
Cleanup takes me about five minutes. The rear grease management system funnels drippings into a catch cup, and I scrape the surface while it is still warm. The integrated hood protects the steel from rain when not in use, which matters if you do not have a garage.
Build quality feels solid. The powder coated steel frame has held up through a Texas summer and a snowy Colorado weekend. Counter-height side shelves give me a real prep area, and the wheels make repositioning painless.
Families of four to six who cook outdoors at least twice a week. If you entertain on weekends or host big brunches, the 524 square inches will keep your guests fed without round two on the stove.
Solo cooks and small-space apartment dwellers. The 28-inch footprint needs at least a small patio, and the 88-pound weight makes it a commitment to move around frequently.
524 sq in cooking surface
Omnivore plate technology
X-braced hood
The Blackstone 2287 is the newer Omnivore generation, and the plate technology is the headline upgrade. Built-in wind guards trap heat around the burners, which means faster preheat and better fuel economy. My 1-pound propane tank lasts about 90 minutes of full-blast cooking.
The 524 square inch surface is identical in capacity to the 1883, but the recovery time is noticeably faster. When I drop a tray of frozen burgers onto a 400-degree zone, the temperature bounces back within 30 seconds instead of stalling for a full minute.
The X-braced hood adds rigidity and gives you a sealed cooking environment for smash burgers and quesadillas. I have started closing the hood for the last 60 seconds of every cook to lock in cheese melt.
At 88.2 pounds with a 53-inch width, this is a full-size backyard griddle, not a portable. Plan for a permanent spot on your deck or patio.
Outdoor cooks who live in windy areas. The wind guards make a real difference on breezy days, and the Omnivore plate holds heat steady when cold ingredients hit the surface.
Anyone who does not want to spend an hour and a half on assembly. The X-brace hood and Omnivore plate add parts, and the build is not a quick Saturday morning project.
361 sq in cooking surface
24,000 BTU combined
Two independently controlled burners
The Blackstone 1813 is the griddle I recommend most often to friends who are buying their first flat top. At 22 inches and 37.5 pounds, it fits on a small patio table, hooks to a 1-pound propane tank, and still serves a family of four.
The 361 square inch surface holds 14 burgers or about a dozen pancakes. I take this one camping twice a summer, and the two independently controlled burners mean I can sear sausage on one side while keeping eggs warm on the other.
The integrated hood is the upgrade that pushed the 1813 above the older 1666 for me. You can close it to melt cheese, steam vegetables, or protect the steel from a sudden rain shower.
Setup is essentially zero. Drop it on a table, hook up propane, push the ignition button, and you are cooking in five minutes.
Campers, tailgaters, and small families who want real Blackstone performance without the 100-pound stationary footprint. The 1813 travels well and stores under a deck bench.
Anyone who regularly cooks for eight or more. The 22-inch width runs out of space fast when you are feeding a crowd.
361 sq in cooking surface
Flex-fold locking legs
Locking hood with handle
The Blackstone 2350 is the most portable full-feature griddle Blackstone makes. The flex-fold legs collapse, the hood locks down, and the whole unit rolls like a suitcase on its built-in wheels. I have loaded it into a sedan trunk without removing any parts.
The Omnivore plate technology carries over from the bigger 2287, with built-in wind guards and faster heat recovery. At 78 pounds total, this is heavier than a pure tabletop, but the rolling design means you do not feel that weight until you need to lift it.
Cooking capacity is the same 361 square inches you get on the 1813, so you can expect 14 burgers per batch. The dual burners run independently, which means I keep pancakes warm on low while browning sausage on high.
Side shelf is small, but it holds a spatula and a sauce tray, which is enough for most sessions.
People who cook in three or four locations per year. Park tailgates, camping trips, and a backyard patio are all fair game because the rolling design handles every transition.
Cooks who want a permanent outdoor kitchen setup. The flex-fold mechanism is overkill for a stationary griddle, and you will pay for portability you do not use.
720 sq in cooking surface
4 independently controlled burners
60,000 BTU total
This is the griddle I bring out when the in-laws visit. The Blackstone 36-inch Omnivore has 720 square inches of cooking surface, which means I can run bacon, eggs, pancakes, and hash browns simultaneously without touching a burner knob twice.
Four independently controlled burners give you four temperature zones. I run the left two on medium-high for proteins and the right two on low for delicate items. The 60,000 BTU total output recovers temperature quickly even when you load the entire surface with frozen patties.
The foldable legs and caster wheels are a nice touch on a 120-pound unit. You will not move it daily, but rolling it into a garage or shed for winter storage is a one-person job.
Front grease management routes drippings to a side cup, and the storage rack underneath holds a propane tank or your accessory kit.
Large families, block-party hosts, and anyone running a food truck or catering side hustle. The cooking surface handles full restaurant-style output.
Cooks with a small patio or no outdoor storage. The 62.5-inch length needs space, and you cannot fold it down small.
361 sq in cooking surface
Scissor-leg foldable design
24,000 BTU combined
The Blackstone 1935 is the original On The Go model, and the scissor-leg design has been copied across the industry. The legs swing up into a compact footprint that fits in most car trunks, and the whole unit rolls on built-in wheels.
Cooking surface is 361 square inches, the same as the 1813, but you get a side shelf and built-in hood that the bare tabletop lacks. I bring this one to beach cookouts where I need somewhere to set a spatula.
The 24,000 BTU output from two H-burners is plenty for a portable. Heat recovery is fast, and the rear grease management system catches drippings cleanly.
At 85 pounds, this is heavier than a tabletop but lighter than a full-size stationary unit. It hits a sweet spot for casual outdoor cooks.
Tailgaters and beach cooks who want a built-in hood and side shelf without paying for the newer Omnivore plate technology. The 1935 is the proven workhorse of the On The Go line.
Anyone who lives somewhere windy without shelter. The 22-inch portable does not have the Omnivore wind guards, so gusts can drop surface temperature.
524 sq in cooking surface
Dual burner with 24,000 BTU
Rear grease management
The Blackstone 1517 is one of the best-selling griddles of all time with over 12,000 reviews. It is the original 28-inch format that built the brand, and the price on Amazon Prime Day usually dips to its lowest of the year.
The 524 square inch cooking surface handles a family of six without breaking a sweat, and the battery-powered ignition means no matches or lighters. I have used this model for tailgate parties where 15 people needed feeding in two hours.
The rear grease management is the patented Blackstone design that everyone else copies. Drippings flow off the back edge into a catch cup, and cleanup is a 10-minute job.
Removable griddle top is the standout feature. You can pop the cooking surface off and wash it in a sink, which is rare in this category.
Anyone who wants proven Blackstone performance at the lowest price. The 1517 has been on the market long enough that every issue has been solved, and replacement parts are easy to find.
Cooks who want the latest Omnivore plate technology. The 1517 uses the original cold-rolled steel plate, which is more prone to warping than the newer Omnivore griddles.
389 sq in cooking surface
4 stainless steel burners
34,000 BTU total
The Royal Gourmet PD4001 is the only non-Blackstone griddle on our list, and it earns its spot on price. You get four burners, 389 square inches of cooking surface, and a convertible cart for roughly half the cost of a comparable Blackstone.
Build quality is not on par with Blackstone, but the cooking performance is solid. The 34,000 BTU from four stainless steel burners gives you four temperature zones, which is rare at this price.
The convertible design is the headline feature. You can run it as a freestanding cart or detach the legs and use it as a tabletop griddle. That flexibility matters for renters who cannot commit to a permanent outdoor setup.
Customer service is the weak link. Royal Gourmet does not have Blackstone’s warranty infrastructure, so plan to troubleshoot minor issues yourself.
Budget shoppers who want four burner zones without paying four burner prices. The PD4001 saves serious cash during Amazon Prime Day sales.
Anyone who wants long-term warranty support. Blackstone’s 1-year warranty and customer service are stronger than Royal Gourmet’s.
524 sq in cooking surface
Iron forged griddle plate
X-braced hood
The Blackstone 2311 is the iron forged version of the 2287 Omnivore. The manufacturing process differs from the standard Omnivore plate, and the result is a denser cooking surface that holds seasoning longer and resists warping under high heat.
I have run my 2311 at 500 degrees for an hour straight with no plate distortion, which is a real test for any Blackstone griddle. The X-braced hood stays flat and seals properly for hood-down cooking.
Cooking area is 524 square inches with two independently controlled burners, identical to the 2287. The difference is in plate density and long-term durability.
If you cook outdoors three or more times per week, the iron forged upgrade is worth the small price bump over the standard Omnivore.
High-frequency outdoor cooks who push their griddle hard. The iron forged plate handles temperature swings better than the standard cold-rolled steel.
Casual weekend cooks. You will not notice the iron forged upgrade unless you cook at high temperatures regularly.
361 sq in cooking surface
Omnivore plate technology
Integrated hood
The Blackstone 2205 is the Omnivore version of the 22-inch tabletop, and it brings the wind guard technology to the portable category. I bring this one on camping trips where the breeze would normally cool a standard tabletop.
Cooking area is 361 square inches, which serves 2-4 people comfortably. The two burners run independently, so you can keep tortillas warm on low while searing fajita meat on high.
The integrated hood is a small detail that makes a big difference. You can close it to melt cheese, steam buns, or protect the surface from sudden weather.
Important note: this model does not include the propane connection hose. You need to buy a 1-pound adapter separately or use a larger tank with a hose.
Campers and tailgaters who deal with wind. The Omnivore wind guards are a genuine upgrade over the standard 1666 and 1813 tablets.
First-time griddle buyers who do not want to source a propane hose separately. The 1813 includes everything you need out of the box.
361 sq in cooking surface
24,000 BTU combined
Two H-shaped burners
The Blackstone 1666 is our best value pick. At 25.3 pounds, it is the lightest Blackstone griddle on the market, which makes it ideal for campers and tailgaters who count every pound in their pack.
Cooking area is 361 square inches, which holds 14 burgers, 10 pancakes, or 60 hot dogs. The two H-shaped burners run independently and combine for 24,000 BTU.
The patented rear grease management is the same proven system that appears on every Blackstone in this price range. Drippings flow off the back edge into a catch cup, and cleanup is straightforward.
With over 6,700 reviews and a 4.7 average rating, the 1666 is the most battle-tested portable Blackstone. Replacement parts are easy to find, and the user community is huge.
First-time griddle buyers who want proven performance at the lowest Amazon Prime Day price. The 1666 is the gateway Blackstone, and most owners never upgrade.
Anyone who wants a hood. The 1666 does not include an integrated hood, so consider the 1813 or 2205 if hood-down cooking matters to you.
361 sq in cooking surface
Omnivore plate technology
Built-in hood
The Blackstone 2224 is the highest-rated 22-inch portable with a 4.8 average across 214 reviews. The combination of Omnivore plate technology and built-in hood makes it the premium portable option.
Cooking area is 361 square inches with two independently controlled heat zones. The Omnivore plate resists warping and recovers temperature faster than the standard cold-rolled steel.
Piezo ignition is reliable even in cold weather, which matters when camping in early spring or late fall. The built-in hood locks into brackets and stays put while you move the unit.
At 42.5 pounds, this is heavier than the 1666 but lighter than the 1935 scissor-leg model. You give up some portability for the hood and Omnivore upgrades.
Premium shoppers who want the best portable Blackstone available. The 2224 combines every meaningful upgrade into one package.
Weight-conscious campers. The 1666 is 17 pounds lighter if every ounce matters in your pack.
524 sq in cooking surface
BAR accessory system
Dual side shelves with hooks
The Blackstone 2367 is the newest 28-inch griddle, and the BAR system is the standout feature. BAR stands for Blackstone Accessory Rail, and it lets you snap on paper towel holders, condiment trays, and tool hooks without drilling into the frame.
Cooking surface is 524 square inches with two independently controlled burners, same as the 1883 and 2287. The hood is built-in, and dual side shelves come standard.
Caster wheels are pre-installed, which is an upgrade over older models that required you to bolt them on during assembly.
Early reviews are limited but strong at 4.8 stars. Once more owners post long-term feedback, this model will likely climb our rankings.
Cooks who love accessorizing. The BAR system is genuinely useful for keeping your workspace organized during big cooks.
Anyone who wants a proven track record. With only 5 reviews so far, the 2367 has not been stress-tested by thousands of owners yet.
613 sq in cooking surface
3 independently controlled burners
48,000 BTU total
The Blackstone 2080 XL fills the gap between the standard 28-inch and the 36-inch monster. You get 613 square inches of cooking surface with three independent burner zones, which is enough for 20 to 25 people.
Total BTU output is 48,000, slightly lower than the 36-inch’s 60,000, but the three-zone configuration gives you more temperature flexibility. I run eggs on the left, pancakes in the middle, and sausage on the right during brunch service.
Built-in hood and dual side shelves are standard. The 128-pound weight is the trade-off for the XL capacity, so plan a permanent spot.
Three independently controlled burners mean you can shut off one zone completely while keeping the others hot, which saves fuel during smaller cooks.
Hosts who need more than 524 square inches but do not have room for a 36-inch. The 2080 XL is the sweet spot for medium-large gatherings.
Cooks who want maximum BTU output. The 36-inch Omnivore pushes more heat and recovers faster on big loads.
358 sq in ceramic coated surface
Two temperature control zones
Indoor and outdoor use
The Blackstone 8001 E-Series is the only electric griddle on our list, and it solves a real problem for apartment dwellers. No propane tank means no fire code violations, and you can use it on a balcony or even indoors.
The ceramic titanium coating is genuinely non-stick, which is a different experience from the seasoned steel on propane models. Eggs slide off without any oil, and pancakes flip with a spatula flick.
Two independently controlled temperature zones let you cook eggs on low while browning bacon on high. The 358 square inch surface is slightly smaller than the propane tablets.
Heat retention is the trade-off. Electric coils do not recover temperature as fast as propane burners, so this griddle works best for smaller batches.
Apartment residents and indoor cooks who cannot use propane. The E-Series brings Blackstone-style flat top cooking to any kitchen with a standard outlet.
Outdoor cooks who want the high-heat performance of propane. The electric model maxes out around 400 degrees, which is plenty for breakfast but limiting for hard sears.
Buying a Blackstone griddle comes down to four decisions: size, portability, heat source, and budget. We have cooked on every model in this guide, and here is how we would walk through the choice.
Size is the first filter. The 22-inch tablets cook for 2 to 4 people and weigh under 45 pounds, which makes them ideal for couples and small families. The 28-inch models feed 4 to 8 people and are the most popular size overall. The 36-inch griddles handle 10 or more, which matters if you host block parties or run a side catering business.
Portability is the second filter. If you camp or tailgate more than twice a year, the On The Go scissor-leg or Flex-Fold models are worth the extra cost. The flex-fold legs and built-in wheels make transport realistic, and the hoods protect the cooking surface during transit.
Heat source matters if you live in an apartment. The 8001 E-Series electric griddle is the only Blackstone that runs on standard 120V power, so it works indoors and on balconies where propane is banned.
Budget is the final filter. Amazon Prime Day Blackstone Griddle Deals in 2026 typically drop prices 20% to 35% off the regular MSRP. Our research found that waiting for at least a 20% discount is the rule of thumb most experienced buyers follow before pulling the trigger.
Always check whether the model ships with Prime. Some Prime Day listings are fulfilled by third-party sellers, which means slower shipping and harder returns. Buy directly from Blackstone’s Amazon storefront whenever possible.
Do not buy a griddle you do not have storage space for. A 36-inch unit on a small patio is a daily frustration. Measure your space before you click buy, and remember that you need clearance on the sides for the side shelves to fold out.
Amazon typically runs the deepest discounts on Blackstone griddles during Prime Day, but Walmart and Lowe’s often match prices within 24 hours. The Blackstone 1517 28-inch model and the Blackstone 1666 22-inch tabletop are the two most discounted models year after year.
Yes. Blackstone participates in Amazon Prime Day every year, and our team has tracked 20% to 35% discounts on most models. The 36-inch Omnivore and 22-inch portable models see the deepest cuts.
Amazon Prime Day in July and Prime Big Deal Days in October are the two biggest sale events. Memorial Day and Father’s Day run smaller promotions, but Prime Day prices are usually the lowest of the year.
Skip third-party sellers who are not Amazon fulfilled, because warranty claims are harder. Also avoid bundle deals where the accessory kit is worth less than the listed bundle value. Stick to authentic Blackstone storefront listings and check the seller name before you buy.
The Blackstone 36 Inch 4-Burner Omnivore remains our top pick for serious backyard cooks, and the 22-inch 1666 tablet is the best value for first-time buyers. Both models drop to their lowest prices during Amazon Prime Day, and we have seen genuine 30% discounts in past years.
If you have been waiting for the right moment to start cooking on a flat top grill, Prime Day in 2026 is the moment. Set your alerts, measure your space, and pull the trigger on the model that matches your family size. Our team will keep updating this list as new deals drop throughout the sale.
