Blackstone® 1883 Original 28-Inch Omnivore Griddle with Hood, Black | Counter-Height Powder-Coated Steel Side Shelves, 2-Burner Propane Flat Top Grill
Product Description
Product Overview
The Blackstone® 1883 Original 28‑inch Omnivore Griddle with Hood is a propane‑powered flat‑top grill designed with a counter‑height profile. It includes two burners that feed the 28‑inch cooking surface. The unit’s body is finished in black and incorporates powder‑coated steel side shelves. The integrated hood is positioned above the griddle area, providing a vertical opening for steam or heat to escape.
Cooking Surface
The central feature of the unit is its 28‑inch griddle area. This surface is flat, allowing food to cook evenly across the width. The flat top is constructed from steel, a material that is common for grill surfaces due to its durability and heat conduction properties. The 28‑inch dimension refers to the width of the cooking zone, giving ample space for a variety of dishes.
Burner Configuration
Two burners supply heat to the griddle. Each burner is part of the propane flat‑top system, meaning the unit is fueled by a propane source. The burners are located below the cooking surface and are positioned to provide even heat distribution across the 28‑inch zone. Their placement supports the flat‑top design and allows simultaneous cooking on multiple areas of the griddle.
Counter‑Height Design
The grill’s counter‑height profile places the cooking surface at a level that matches common counter heights. This feature can simplify the process of preparing, cooking, and serving food on the griddle. The design is intended for use in environments where a counter‑level cooking surface offers convenience, such as outdoor kitchens or portable cooking setups.
Hood Feature
The integrated hood sits directly above the 28‑inch griddle. It serves as a vertical opening that can release steam or heat generated during cooking. The hood is part of the overall construction and is positioned to work in conjunction with the burners and the griddle surface. Its presence is a notable feature that distinguishes this model from flat‑top grills that lack a hood.
Side Shelves
On each side of the griddle are shelves made from steel. These shelves are finished with a powder‑coated coating, a process that applies a hard, protective layer to metal surfaces. The shelves are counter‑height, matching the overall profile of the grill. They are positioned to provide storage or workspace adjacent to the cooking area.
Fuel Source
The unit operates on propane, a common fuel for portable grilling appliances. Propane is supplied to the burners through standard connections that allow the unit to be used with a propane tank. The 2‑burner system is designed to work with this fuel source to maintain the flat‑top cooking environment.
Overall Construction
The combination of a 28‑inch steel griddle, two propane burners, a counter‑height profile, integrated hood, and powder‑coated steel side shelves creates a unit that is well‑balanced in terms of size and functionality. The black finish is a standard aesthetic choice that is typical for this product line. Each component is engineered to function as part of the complete grill assembly.
