Cool, but no one wants aluminum, especially while camping. PERIOD. Make the case out of aluminum, and the griddle out of stainless steel, high carbon steel. If Blackstone needs some help with designing, let me know.

I’ll purchase it when the plate steel version of the griddle comes out.

I can't believe Blackstone is making more products with Teflon coating. I do not even own coated pans in my kitchen so why would I want it on my camp stove. My favorite feature of my Blackstone is the tough durable steel cook surface.

Man, I was excited to see these compact portable camping setups. I get the idea of a lighter weight to not have to lug around a heavier set up. But the non stick coating on an aluminum griddle and plastic utensils were a no go. Gotta keep lugging around the regular griddle for now I guess. Hoping for improvements on this idea in the future. Still love my Blackstones though.

That's pretty cool. I get the reason for the aluminum griddle but if I'd rather a steel griddle :)

Have a great evening Bob. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure

Great idea for camping cause the 22in is pretty heavy and bulky, but the cold rolled steel, metal or wooden utensils is something that lasts. I would be sold if it wasn't for that aluminum coated surface, either way its gonna be a hit! Cheers

I literally was going to buy one tomorrow. Thank you for sharing this video. As soon as I found out it was aluminum I’m out. You just save me some money I’ll stick with my 22 until they come out with this version that has a cast-iron griddle.

Hey Todd,...you do what you do on your channel and dont worry about it. I can speak for everyone, but I enjoy your 1 take videos that are semi live. Just let it roll!! thanks for the info on this new set up!!

I like those. Very impressive. Cheers, Todd and God Bless! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

After MANY issues yesterday trying to find one I finally scored mine today. NOW if I can only find the ( Plastic ) Blackstone accessories for my New Griddle. I got this to replace the 17" Blackstone Griddle and separate side stove I have in my Bug-Out -Camper.

I was pretty excited when I saw these, then......aluminum griddle...no thanks. Also the feet should be adjustable. I'll stick with the Adventure Ready griddle we got a year ago.....LOVE it.

Big miss here. If they would have made it with Carbon steel or cast iron that would have been perfect. So bummed out. Cast Aluminum? Really?? Come on guys.

Not gonna cook on aluminum. Give me a cast iron or stainless option.

6:35 "Blastic Spatula"! Lol, great vid, I need this in my toy hauler ASAP

I have the 2 burner , I think 22 inch, with stand.. think you mentioned, kinda like that for the camping I do. Disclosure.. I do have a 1986 hilo camper. But prefer to cook outside. Great video, love ❤️ love that corn you put out years ago 😂, still making my own version to this day! 😀

These just make Sense. When you’re trying to keep the weight down in a camper and still bring the best food to your family. Light and compact. Perfect.

Huge fan of Blackstone products for a few years now. This reminds me of the ole Coleman camp stove (shape and size) but it’s definitely upgraded and better. It’s the wheel reinvented!

It sucks they used an aluminum coated griddle.

I just ordered the one with the side burner and thanks to this video I just ordered the plastic spatula they make. I didn’t even know you had to have the plastic spatula kit to protect the surface non stick. Thanks for sharing your experience with me.😊

This great! Compact! Love it!

Good information 👍

Thank you for the info my Wal Mart has the stand but not the griddles yet I’ll probably be the first person to purchase as soon as they get them in!!!!

Nice. I need one of these.

This is interesting. Nice. 👍

You lost me on the non stick coating surface. 😒😬

Nice camping griddles! That folding press looks like a handy accessory👍😊

Like the H shape burner. It also looks like that griddle goes further to the right than the actual burner. That should make a nice “keep warm” area. Looks great.

Cool might be good for cooking on my boat for shore lunch.. or just craving a burger, Philly, or percolating a pot of coffee on the burner!

You lost me at aluminum and non-stick coating

Cool idea! That would save a lot space in my camping trailer

I was able to buy mine online this morning in California, at 5am. I bought both version to see which one will work better with my setup

Just saw these at Walmart yesterday in the camping section. The accessories also

Sweet!

I like a side burner. Make the spaghetti on the side cook the meat on the griddle. Kind of like a mullet. Businesses in the front party in the back.

Looks nice but one issue sticks out, Burner space seems tight fit for a pan or pot. Should have elevated the grill above the sidewall and skillet plate, allowing for a standard pan width.

Bought both today. Used the one with the burner. Heated up fast and cooked exactly as expected. Super easy clean up. Will be using for camping, one in each trailer. Have a 22 inch that we carried. These will replace it.

Todd … for camping, boating, travel trailer, or tent. Do you recommend the adventure griddle combo with side burner or the straight griddle no side burner ?? JC

Back from my first camping trip with the 20" version and this thing is amazing. My first Blackstone purchase and it's a 10/10.

Thanks for this. I had the 17 inch in my cart at the store an hour ago...then saw the new 20 inch. I decided to put the 17 inch back and research more...and didn't realize the 20 inch was cast aluminum. I'll likely go back to the 17 inch after all.

Any suggestions on a carrying bag?

I just picked up the 14" griddle with single burner. Ive seen different videos and am confused. Can I use metal spatulas and scrapers on the griddle or not. Some say teflon or plastic which melts. Which one?

We just learned about this griddle. We love idea of nonstick and compact size. Since you work for Blackstone , when will this be available?? Thier site as well as Walmart are sold out. Thanks

do they get hot from underneath? would it melt a plastic table or plastic covering on a truck tailgate?

Awesome suitcases Todd😂. This is definitely a great idea. These will sell out fast! Have a fantastic week ahead and cheers to you and the family as always

that looks a lot more portable than the 22inch I got, ima buy that for sure for camping.

I actually seen these in the camping isle today at Walmart while I was perusing when they were doing my oil change.

Those griddles are pretty sharp

Perfect!...except for the coated aluminum. Hopefully they come out with the steel as a option!

That things very James Bondish. Hope you and your family are doing well Take care and God Bless.

I can’t wait to get one.

Bought the 14 with side burner from Wally World for $140 just now. Bit of a pain in the ass to pull the griddle out with the locking device on bottom and sides. The hinge is pretty flimsy. But I see a lot of use in its future. Liked being able to make coffee and cook breakfast without carrying too much gear. Thanks for telling us about the grand opening.

Love it. Will they bring out a 28 or 32" version of this?

No aluminum for me. They do look nice however.

Come out with an upgrade option to get Cast iron or carbon steel.

Who designed the spatulas with such short handles? Also can those orange sides be removed since pots are round....

Many portable tables have a plastic counter these days. Can you put this griddle on these tables?

Had to make a late night run to walmart and seen workers stocking the selves with this awesome grill. Definitely replacing my coleman this year.

I got the last one at my Walmart after watching your video! I like that it’s not so heavy and I can put it in the garage after using and I won’t have to season it!

I really like taking the Blackstone with us camping. I use the 17" griddle and love it. Its nice to see them getting into the camping world. But at this time I'll stick with my 17"..IF the stand that is coming out will hold the 17 or 22" griddle then I might upgrade to it. I do not like the old stand cause it really doesn't break down like I need it to for camping.

YES, about time.. the 22" Blackstone i take camping is heavy and to bulky. Even with the carrying bag.

I absolutely love the design/form factor with the suitcase design. Not sure I am fully sold on the cast aluminum cook top. Feels more like a disposable item as we all know cast aluminum skillets have a distinctive shelf life. I realize they are doing it for weight concerns, but that is so damn close to being the perfect camping griddle.

I bought the Adventure Ready 22 with stand a few months ago at a great price but if I'd realized this was coming, I would have waited. These look perfect for my overlanding setup.

I saw an empty shelf space for a "Blackstone Coffee Kit" when I bought mine. Any info on that?

Tried to get this today, actually was after two of them, 3 Walmarts today, no luck. rural stores seem to be left out. Called ahead but they do not know which model is which. I found 1 20" but it was with the flowers and yard tools, nothing in camping.

Tailgated with one today and it generally worked great (even heat, plenty of room, ceramic surprisingly excellent performance, and easy clean-up). One problem was the handle. It's hallow plastic and mine broke just lifting up the grill. Debating whether to keep and try to find a fix (metal to replace it) or return it as I can see this being a frequent issue as it's a substandard design at a stress point. The Blackstone tote has a better handle design and doesn't weight nearly as much.

I like it Todd I may get one

As always, you are the go to guy to see the new offerings and really get to see the features and benefits. This is also a SUPER item for employee incentive awards through the new Blackstone program. Winner all around.

Bout to go buy one tomorrow

How would this compare with a camp chef Rainier?

finally! soo nice which one to pick?!😱👍

Those Griddles are pretty awesome Todd. Really like the design with the side burner and a good size. Perfect for the outdoors. Have a great day tomorrow Todd and take care .👍🏽

I was looking to buy one for my hubby's b'day, but don't want the coated or aluminum, prefer stainless steel. Please ask Blackstone if they can make this change, thanks! 👍🏽

I purchased the 22 inch griddle for our first camping trip in April. Heats up very fast and worked wonderfully. However, while picking it up to put in the storage unit of the travel trailer the handle came loose on the left side. Fortunately my left arm kept me from dropping it. The left handle bracket was loose from the factory. In order to tighten I will have to practically disassemble the burners and the cover plate. Not cool.

Both camping griddles are brilliant. Only problem is the aluminium griddles with nonstick. I get it is to save weight and would be really easy to clean. But just like all nonstick the coating eventually fails and food will stick and it will be a pain to clean and wear to a point where it needs to be replaced. It just depends on how careful you are, how high temperature you use and how often you use it.

Would like to have a metal not aluminum. I like the seasoning

TAKE MY MONEY! I switched from blackstone to a skottle. I've been wanting to switch back. This may be the solution. I really wanted a more practical portable solution. Great job Blackstone. MK1 will be great to test

I wonder what it would take to manufacture a cast iron replacement

Nice video! Im having issues getting a spark to light up. Any tips? Seems i need to push the metal needle 🤷‍♂️ for it to spark. ⚡️

Do you know what the BTU’s of just the stove alone ?? The website just has the combined BTU’s

I purchased this new portable. Now, where can I find tin cups for grease trap, plus other specialized items used to cook on this grill. I cannot find anything on blackstones website.

Steel Griddle and I'm sold.

Yep, like a lot of others, I don’t want aluminum. Make it steel and I will one one for each of my camping kids

I had a Blackstone about 4 yrs ago and only cooked about 4 meals on it before the coating started peeling off the griddle. Into the trash it went. After watching this video I found out that you aren't supposed to use metal on it. Maybe that was my problem. I don't remember the directions saying anything about that. The little camp unit with a side burner is kinda nice for solo camping.

I like this idea, especially the first version. No aluminum though, please! Fix that and I'm in! I currently have two blackstones BTW.

There are valid reasons to the opposition of the aluminum griddle. But I recently got the coleman 2 in 1 that has the aluminum grill grate and I got an aluminum griddle pan for it and honestly if you are willing to look past the cons to aluminum or you don't mind the aluminum, while camping it is SO great It reaches temp faster, it cools down quicker so it can washed sooner, it's super easy to wash, and it weighs less.

Big Blackstone user!!! We have two 36" four burner units for home, I also carry the 22" Adventure Griddle in my RV....Love them with the original steel griddle....As soon as you make this in the same material i will definitely buy....nobody wants the coated ones!!!!

I bought one immediately, so took it home and opened it. The lid was missing the screw/nut holding the lid so it would just fall open, we returned it. Got another one. Second one had a piece of metal just fall off, no idea where it went, on top of the non stick surface scratched just moving a piece of cardboard on it. Not all the way through the coating but you could clearly see where I placed one of the pieces on it while I moved things around. I also picked up the folding griddle press which as soon as we washed it another screw/nut fell off of it. I also wanted to add how heavy it was, I might as well just get the 17" regular steel one. It's a great idea and we really wanted to use it for camping but the quality control unfortunately broke our spirit. Maybe once they fix this and improve on the non stick coating to be a little more durable we will give it another try.

Just bought their regular 22" portable griddle and love it. I almost regretted not finding this one first but the non stick surface on these ruin them for me, otherwise I would have preferred these even more portable ones.

like it except the aluminum

Thinking of switching because it’s lighter than my 22 in . Thanks Todd God bless

Will these be available in Canada?

Any black stone is a camping griddle if you can get it there

version 2 or 3 of these should be awesome lol

I checked out at ‘cast aluminum.’

WOW!!!!

nice video, what overalls are those?

I have a 17 in and a 22 in Blackstone. The smaller one is for camping. The bigger one is for home use.

This looks like the perfect addition for shore lunches. What size of pan will the side burner fit?

Oh outstanding. I’ll be picking one up ASAP to put in my fifth wheel camper. I have the 22 inch in there now and it’s just too heavy to get in and out. The reason this one will heat up so quickly is because it’s aluminum, which is a great conductor of heat The one question I have is do you have to season it before use
