Excellent comparison brother! We’ve had so many ask for this, we will definitely send anyone your way to this video - great insights and comparison - like someone pointed out, the Pit Boss is the cook and cleanup with no fuss. Cheers brother!🔥🔥

Regardless of race, religion, or politics, us fellas all unite when it comes to grilling and outdoor cooking! Nice video. Keep up the good work👍🏼 I have a nice portable 22" Blackstone griddle that includes a hood and a stand. I love it. In a few years, I might get a 4 burner from Pit Boss.

We just bought the Pit Boss griddle and I’m excited to have my husband use it!! Love your review!

Actually planning my outdoor kitchen and your reviews are VERY helpful! I'm undecided on the griddle yet.

Want to add a griddle to my BBQ arsenal and was originally looking at the blackstone, but I really like the pitboss and i own a pellet smoker by PitBoss which is amazing thanks for the review

Blackstone does have a lid, and it hooks to the back. That may be a new feature, but it came with the one my son bought. Nice comparison.

Nice unbiased review. Thank you. I never knew about the Pit Boss brand and will look into it as I currently own a smaller intro model Blackstone. I love it but there is maintenance! Still, it cooks great.

Great review. I have the two burner black stone. Love it. Blackstone is a little more work. Griddling is just fun

I am new to the market for a griddle. Have the Big Green Egg and a Weber gas grill that is on its last leg. This made my choice, the Pit Boss for the Weber replacement. Good video!

Hey Brother. I thank you for your video on the PB Ultimate. I just bought my first griddle tonight - the PBU 4 burner (shipping pending.) Your video confirms to me that this is a great starter choice for a griddling. I can take it camping, UTV riding, or just in the bed of the truck. The rolled steel units require cleaning and reasoning every time. I'd rather enjoy feeling satiated, from all my work and cooking, then spend the next umteen minutes on cleaning and seasoning the unit itself.

Nice Pit Boss. I really appreciate any grill that is easier to clean. Nice video.

Nice comparison- I do like the upgrades on the pitboss

I feel like being able to use metal utensils is a pretty important for a griddle I wish pit boss gave an option for the ceramic coat or a cast iron top.. maybe even make a cast iron top available as a side purchase

Perfect demonstration Thank you

My concern is over the years especially if you are making Philly cheesesteaks and other food where you chop it in the griddle you are going to crack the ceramic top. With the blackstone that costs the same mine came with the lid and use it the same way. Also came with 2 air fryers and a warming drawer. On the blackstone order matters when I am cooking something sticky like eggs I cook my meat first and use the oil from that. The lift off feature is nice but I am not cooking like that camping most of it is over the fire.

Awesome review! I guess that I am adding the Pit Boss griddle with my Pit Boss smoker!

We have a 30” & 22” Blackstone. The 22” comes off the stand, then the stand folds up and is great to travel with and both have hoods.

Like the idea of throwing food on the Pit Boss whereas the Blackstone - needs conditioning. Like that with the pit boss goes portable. For outside I would have the Pit Boss - inside I still want the 17" Blackstone. This is so cool Andrew. Stay safe & take care of you all. Thanks for sharing eh:))

very informative video thank you, this makes my decision easier - greetings from Vienna

Love the video. However you must have bought an older version of the Blackstone because I haven't seem one that comes without a fold over top in quite awhile. I know the newer Blackstones also come with a trach bag holder as well. I do love the lift off feature of the Pitboss, and lets be honest who would ever want to try and lift off that rolled steel even if you could do it on the Blackstone :) lol I have had my Blackstone for over 3 years and will maybe take a look at the Pitboss way down the road when my BS bites the dust, but I don't see that happening for years and years to come.

Great review! I’m about to buy a griddle this spring for my backyard, still undecided but I’ve never liked non stick kitchenware, I like using metal tools on them, with proper heat and oil/butter nothing sticks, you also get more flavour. I can’t use plastic utensils when cooking, feels odd lol. The cleanup for the black stone looks a little tedious though.

Awesome review. new to this. Pitt boss is for me!

Our local Walmart still has the 36" Blackstone with the metal cover for $297. That's what I paid for ours and we love it. The Pit Boss is very impressive but I'm not a fan of ceramic / teflon coatings as they don't last very long and then there's the health concerns. Either way I will say that cooking on a griddle is a way more fun than a grill.

Very nice review.

My 36"blackstone has legs that fold up under it for transport. As far as the griddle surface goes I never have anything stick to it. I might use a tiny bit of butter a drope of oil or water depending on what I'm cooking. It's very compact for taking anywhere. I also have a grill top for mine. The pitboss legs didn't look like they folded up to take with you if you didn't have a place to put the top on

So you're saying if I really like cleaning my grills, carrying around a dome, and loading the whole cart and all into my truck before I go offroading I should get a Blackstone, right? [Pic of me clicking on your Pit Boss link frantically trying to buy yet another cooking machine......]. Great review Andrew. Seriously - thanks for making it both fun and informative!

Likin' the Pit Boss griddle...great review! 👍

How is the pit boss holding up? I saw another video where they did a 150 cooks and the top was worn out even though they never used metal utensils and followed the correct cleaning procedures. I have a 28" Blackstone and at the end of the first year we got a lot of rain and I constantly had to fight rust and season it. Now I place the griddle top in a heavy duty garbage bag and bring it in. Since doing this I haven't needed to reseason and is a joy to cook on.

My amazing wife got me the freaking 5 burner Ultimate Griddle! I ended up buying the Pit Boss plastic spatulas so I could prevent damaging the ceramic. But man that ceramic coating is a beast!

Gotta love that pic... LOL! Ya done good Sarge!

So I just got the 3 burner pit boss and I burnt it off for 15 mins as mentioned without any oil. I then put oil while it was hot and immediately burnt and cause a burnt spot and what looks like rust color. I let it cool down and wiped it. Did I screw up bad should I tray baking soda method ?

Great review! I’m switching from Camp Chef, which was great, to the Pit Boss.

I like to do cheesesteaks and I normally use a couple of metal spatulas to break the meat apart. I'm assuming that Pit Boss doesn't want you to use metal on there griddle?

I got the pit boss I and I love it!

The fact that you can take pit boss with you if you want is a plus

Thanks Grill Sergeant. Great job.

I would like to know taste comparison. Is their a difference in taste non stick vs steel?

Pit Boss has really upped the griddle game👍

Hi Grill Sergeant! New subscriber here. I just recently purchased a Blackstone so I could hook it up to natural gas because I read that pitboss was not able to. Do you know if the pitboss can hook up to natural gas?

I have a Blackstone but am definitely looking at a Pitt boss

Love your channel name.

Hello. New to your channel. I’m wanting the new ceramic pitboss. But not really knowing what to get as far as 3 burner or 4 burner. There is not one video to find of the new pitboss 3 burner. Space wise. Just me and the wife. Maybe once in a blue moon we may have company over. We do some camping. Help grill Sargent. Needing info to what to do. Seems like 4 burner looks too big. And 2 burner looks to small. Heavy wise for traveling. Etc. leaning towards the 3 burner????????

nice video but like all non sticks, how long will the coating last huge IF.

Great review, but you didn't speak at all about cooking utensils. I noticed you used a traditional, large, spatula on the Blackstone and a smaller, silicon spatula on the Pitboss. I've heard the metal cooking tools can really mess up the ceramic (non stick) surface. Is that true and a problem? If so, can you recommend some decent silicon products. I like to use the larger spatulas, tongs, etc when grilling and when it comes to the silicon versions they often seem flimsy or too flexible to me. I also like to chop some veggies on the grill while cooking like onions and peppers when making cheese steaks (like I see them do in my favorite sub shop or like a hibachi chef might do at a restaurant). Is this going to mess up the non stick?

non-stick is great but how long will that last a year 2 maybe? plus how tuff is that coating

Nice comparison Andrew but already owning 3 Blackstones I stick with what I have. Especially my travel 28” that folds up and is portable.

Nice comparison. If i needed one id go with the pit boss. But i won the char griller flat iron 36. Yeah for me actually winning something. 😆 🤣

Excellent vid. Thank you. Have you tested the 2 and 3 burner Pit Bosses??

Is there an oil recommendation for the ceramic? i want to use whatever is recommended for the cleaning and seasoning/upkeep, thanks

I would love to see you compare the Pit Boss Versus the new Loco Griddle

looking for a new griddle. I notice on the Pit Boss people are using plastic spatulas. Is this because it has a ceramic griddle ? Should you not use metal utensils ? will Metal utensils scratch & ruin the surface ? Wondering how durable the ceramic griddle on the Pit Boss is ? The Pit Boss looks great with the extra features but need to know about the durability.

The idea of lifting the Pit Boss up and taking it with you is almost enough of a bonus to go for it, however, my brother has one and I have a rolled steel top and I get a way better sear on my smash burgers. One other note, if you're not cooking your eggs in butter you ain't cooking eggs 😉.

Why are l all 4 burner Pitboss griddles hard to find now?

Is that your bedroom voice on that narration? lol Admittedly I'm a bells and whistles kinda guy. Holy sugar, was that that Gallery BBQ dude using that burger dome?? Are you using my bad boy lines now?? lol Nice job, fair review!

So basically it’s the difference between using a nonstick pan vs a cast iron pan. I personally use cast iron pans for almost all my cooking, so I think I’ll go with black stone. Thanks for the comparison!

I am leaning towards the pit boss but with a ceramic surface and using metal tools have you witnessed any chipping like a Teflon coating would do? Thanks

Sweet shirt. Kinda like the macvsog camo

Can you use metal utensils on the outbids without damaging the ceramic?

on the pit boss... im curious does the non-stick quality eventually wear off ?

The bummer is it's not available locally to my area so they raised the price and everyone that does ship is charging $100+ for shipping. Might have to wait for it to come to more local retailers. Nice grill though.

Can you use metal utensils on the pit boss?

Can you use metal utensils on the Pit Boss or will it damage the cooking surface?

I paid $250 for that exact blackstone at Tractor Supply, 3 years ago.

Two questions 1. Did the Pit Boss come all dented up like their smokers? 2. What about leveling? Are there any adjustments so you're oil isn't running where you don't want it? I agree the Pit Boss has some things going for it that I like over the BlackStone.

I'm still on the fence on which to buy, this would be my first griddle. Blackstone has a better price by a few hundred bucks but ceramic might be better for my climate, very cold winter & humidity is high in the summer which beats the hell out of the steel on my bbq.

How would you make cheesesteaks or chopped cheese ? Is there some friendly griddle tools for pitboss ?

Sweet video. Pit boss all the way💪

How is the ceramic holding up? i've been hestitant worried about the longevity/flaking/chipping. I bought the pit boss ultimate today.....just got it all setup, spotted something that didnt look right, small spot, sure enough, its a brown/steel spot as the ceramic is chipped/flaked. . finger can feel the ridges. Its small, size of sharpie tip, but small or not, thats how it starts and will spread like wild fire. i hope its just exterem rare issue and i hope pit boss will take care of me. but still scary to see what might be ahead :(

The Pit Boss does seem better all around but now I've found the air fryer as part of the Blackstone. I've been wanting an air fryer for a while so this seems to be a pretty good combination that might make me choose the Blackstone.

ALSO -- REMEMBER -- - The Pitboss surface is not 100% ceramic (does not conduct heat and weighs a ton) It is rolled steel coated with a ceramic non-stick surface. Ceramic coatings lifespan is about 1-3 years. High heat is not a friend of any coating, it is recommended low to medium heat cooking to prevent damage.. Chipping can also be an issue. Hopefully, they are using lead-free ceramic coating I am sure they are if it's not coming from China. And MAKE SURE you NEVER use any METAL UTENSILS, scrubbing pads, cooking spray, abrasive cleaners, on the ceramic. Proper care is essential to prevent chipping from occurring; As with any ceramic cookware, if chipping has begun, you will need to STOP USING the cookware for food preparations immediately.. Ceramic non-stick surfaces are good to prevent sticking, but not as non-stick as you think, not as good as Teflon coating. If you could buy new surfaces "reasonably" every few years I might consider one. Maybe you can , I don't know. Also - Compairing it to THAT no hooded low-end Blackstone was kind of deceptive.

Can you actually control the heat on the Pit Boss?

Walmart has the Blackstone 4-Burner 36" Griddle Cooking Station with Hard Cover for $325.00. Also I called Pit Boss and their 3 burner Ultimate $599 at Lowes is the exact same as the Walmart, Pit Boss Sierra, $397 Only difference is the color.

You can tell it was a PitBoss commercial.

Can the lid come off on the pitboss

Is it recommended that you use plastic or non scratch cookware on the pit boss because of their coating?

Where did you see the pit boss for 594

But you have to use plastic on ceramic or it will scratch and flake overtime?

Will the pit boss surface scratch with metal utensils causing sticking spots?

On the Pit Boss egg fry I saw you use a metal spatula. Is that hard on the ceramic coating?

Drinking game every time you say "Bad Boy"

I don’t like how you can’t use metal utensils on the pitboss. Other than that great review and side by side. Thank you.

Im going with pit boss

How about comparing with a cook on both at the same time to compare sear ability, flavor etc of say a steak. I'm partial to Blackstone where you get awesome sear and great flavor. I find non stick surfaces dont produce as good as cast iron or steel for flavor on steaks, hamburgers and chicken. The Sierra though I would think would do great for pancakes, grilled cheese, potatoes, veggies and other dishes that work great on a non stick pan or indoor electric griddle. my .02.

Yeah but can you use metal utensils on the pit boss? I noticed you're using plastic to protect the surface. I can't stand plastic because it melts

I like the non-stick top, but you are comparing the top of the line Pit Boss with the base model Blackstone. In the $500 range you can get a Blackstone with all of the same bells and whistles. Plus the Pit Boss is only 46000 btu where the 4 burner Blackstone is 60000 btu. That a big difference not mentioned in the comparison

Does pit boss griddle need special utensils? Ceramic looks like it could get scratched

I hear you can’t use metal utensils with a ceramic top. My first purchase will probably go to the Blackstone. They have one with a cover that can close like the Pit Boss as well. 👍🏽

you can lift the Blackstone grill off, i have done it for tailgating and i have a cover that hooks on the back to cover the grill

the paper towel holder on the Blackstone folds in

I know this isn’t pit boss but have you thought about getting the new pit barrel smoker? It’s the PBCX. It’s lot bigger than there original barrel. It’s 22.5 the size

A Pit Boss rep told you that using metal utensils was ok? Curious as to why that isn't mentioned on their website then? They only seem to have nylon utensils to sell. I wouldn't trust a company rep when it comes to an expensive griddle. I was going back and forth about which brand to get but have decided to go with the Blackstone. I'm not sold on the ceramic surface material and I want to use metal utensils /including knives without concerns about scratches, etc.

I have the blackstone and yes it requires a seasoning process and is a bit harder to clean after cooking, however just like any ceramic coated frypan one the coating is worn out you toss the pan and buy a new one. What do you do when the ceramic coating wears out on the pit boss and it will you can not do anything to repair it ,food will start to stick to it and then you are back to using cooking oil on it. That’s why I chose the blackstone, Just my two cents,happy grilling

What about real world cooking? How does it do with high and moderate wind?

3:14 WOW!

Cast iron will last Decades with simple care ….. gets pretty hot for searing as well. Much more versatile.

How long will the ceramic coating last 🤔

I'll give it a year or two and see how the non stick surface holds up. Until them I'll stay in the blackstone camp

I seasoned my new blackstone Less that an hour I got to go with the blackstone

I’m in the market for a griddle and I have a question if anyone knows … I feel like I’m gonna be doing a lot of cutting and chopping … how does he ceramic handle that?

how can you cook an egg on the Pitboss without sticking... I cant even do that with my 3 burners, they are sticking to the surface...
