Make Blackstone’s Tailgating Trifecta For the Big Game Get-Together

Our Backyard BBQ associates understand one thing: When it comes to tailgating, it can be done so many different ways that the perfect parking lot setup is never a “one size fits all” kind of design. Some people are happy with a small grill and cooler of drinks. Others aren’t satisfied until every piece of the tailgating outfit is color-coordinated and made for a magazine spread. Some are loyal to their chosen brands of grills and coolers, some fans are always ready to try out something different that does that certain “something” really well. Lately, the brand that’s been getting taken home for tailgating purposes in bigger numbers is Blackstone flat top griddles.

Depending on your needs, we recommend two Blackstone models for tailgating. The Blackstone Tabletop Griddle is perfect for a small group of fans that need an easy but powerful heat source that can run on a propane bottle or a regular tank.

For the “No Holds Barred” super fan with plenty of friends and space, we recommend the Blackstone 4 Burner Griddle with Hood.
