Wind guards for Blackstone 36"

[btuckertx]

Because of my patio setup, I can't easily use my Blackstone 36" when the wind is out of the NE or E, or just very windy from any direction. Wondering if anybody has experience and/or opinions on these.

A 4.5 rating with 4,000 sold in the last month on Amazon. Sound decent.

Thanks! I think I like this design. Others won't work with my Walmart version that has the hinged hood attached to the sides of the griddle.

Thanks for the link. 4-8 am delivery. And I probably won't even install them until afternoon! :-)

I bought this set and it made a big difference: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BV9WDF7Q...t_details&th=1

Wow, people think of everything. I just usually deal with the circumstances, but should realize by now that people come up with solutions to issues. Good stuff here. Thank you.

I picked out a set I liked and my parents somehow found out and got those for me for Father’s Day. The set I have is great. Really does well and helps retain heat, which is what I’ve noticed much more with use! Here’s a link to my thread on my griddle - I show some photos of them installed. But happy to answer any questions.

Looking at the reviews, have you had any issues with warping, rusting or the magnets melting out? I realize this isn't exactly a high dollar item and I would expect the discoloration given where they are, I just don't want it to fail.

[barelfly]

Andrrr - only issue thus far is discoloration, which can be seen on my original post I linked above. I was surprised to see the discoloration so quickly, but it is one of the most common comments in the reviews. But, as long as they work how they are supposed to work, I’m fine with the discoloration.

I looked at yours and it didn't look too bad. The other set I got seems to have a fair number reviews where the paint starts peeling right away which would be a little irritating. I'm thinking these SS guards are the ticket, they'll be here this afternoon. Thanks!

That is EXACTLY what my wife had picked out at random... already in the cart!. Thanks everybody!

I built some... lemme see if I can find my thread or pics. I used alum bar stock from Lowe's, drilled some holes... attached. Haven't even thought about 'em since. Prolly 3 years ago.

Here are mine:




I was gonna do some for folks here and ship 'em out to 'em, but then I tried to do it for my friend's Blackstone and realized his has a whole different design and it wouldn't work the same. Also his disperses heat a lot better away from the side shelves than mine. That's when I realized there were probably a number of different designs of how these all attached to their respective carts and I couldn't mess with trying to make different ones for different folks because invariably they would not fit. So I gave it up.

But I used... I think 3/4" aluminum angle from Lowe's, just 1/8". Drilled a few holes and bolted 'em down. They been doing great ever since.

For me, it was as much about keeping heat off the side shelves as blocking the wind, both of which were seriously limiting me. And this didn't totally eliminate them, but definitely improved the side shelf heat by 75% and reduced wind issues by prolly 90%.
