In this video I break down my picks for the 5 best Blackstone grills for 2026, and I keep it focused on what actually matters when you’re shopping on Amazon: cooking space, heat zones, portability, and cleanup. I also dropped the product links in the description so you can quickly check current pricing and see which one fits your budget range. I start with the Blackstone Original 28-inch griddle with hood because it’s that “checks all the boxes” midsize option—big enough to feed up to 10 people, plus two burners so you can run two temperatures at the same time. If you need maximum capacity, the 36-inch cooking station is the value pick for big cooks, with four independent burners (up to 60,000 BTUs) and a rear grease management system that makes cleanup easier. I also cover the 28-inch cooking station as a best-deal option if you can live without extras like a hood or bottom shelf, since it keeps the same core cooking surface and strong heat output. For travel and small setups, the 17-inch tabletop is my camping-friendly compromise—compact, lightweight, and it even includes a hood. And if you want indoor convenience, I included the 22-inch electric griddle with a non-stick titanium surface, dual heating controls for two zones, and a glass hood for steaming or roasting-style cooking.
