I saw this listed for free on CL and alerted my buddy who is picking it up tomorrow. Can anyone ID the model? Size?

If your buddy is into such things, there are a bunch of YouTube videos in which a couple of guys modify an old Blackstone to address the grease drainage issues. Looks kind of fun, actually ... -
36 inch old model. As mentioned the front grease tray has a tendency to drip grease on the floor even with the collection bucket in place. This is because of the way it is shaped, some of the grease will stick to the underside and travel a distance before falling. Not very far, but enough to miss the bucket the thing came with.
Solutions include:
1. Do not worry about it. Put some newspaper down. Or an old towel. Or a "caution slippery floor" sign. Whatever.
2. Modify the drip tray. Either with a "front tray shelf", using a soup can / beer can, or drilling a hole so you can attach a hook that holds a larger (metal) bucket.Comment

I have an original 28†Blackstone with the grease collection in the front.
I bought something off of Amazon that controls the grease drip off the side. I’ll see if I can find exactly what I bought on Amazon. It works great. I set a mini soda can under the end to collect the grease. All of the run off goes into the can.
I love my griddle but I do not care for the grease collection in the front. I always loose food into the grease trap and off the front of the griddle. I do have a "shelf" under the front of my griddle that helps with that though. I’ve attached a few pictures for reference.

Great find. My cooking life transformed when I got a Blackstone a few years ago!
