Ok, I’ve come to the decision that a Blackstone griddle is a necessary addition to the deck crew. My Weber Genesis is close to 15 years old and is getting long in the tooth (that’s my excuse) I’ve made the rounds of the local stores and watched a bunch of reviews and it seems like there really is no bad choice, so it really comes down to a hinged lid or flat cover.
Walmart has their version of the 36†with hard cover at $297 while Dicks has the 1554 with no cover at $60 more, so that choice seems like a no brainer. They appear to be the same griddle.
Lowes and Ace have a hinged cover version at $399 and $419 respectively. Covers seem the same, just a difference in add-ons, with the Ace version catching my eye aesthetically.
I’m thinking the hinged cover "might" add a little more versatility but not sure $120 extra is really worth it, as the Weber is still operational and I’ve no experience with the griddle.
So at the risk of over thinking this, any recommendations from the griddle crowd? Thanks!
