Blackstone Buying Guide
The best Blackstone depends on where you cook and how many plates you want ready at once. Start with your occasion, then choose a size and installation style.
A flat top makes the whole meal part of the outdoor gathering: breakfast on one side, vegetables and proteins on the other, and room to serve without cycling through small pans. The right model is the one that fits your actual patio and routine.
For everyday patio meals: Select 28-Inch XL with Cabinet
A balanced choice for a household that wants a dedicated outdoor station without committing to the widest cooking surface. The cabinet keeps the setup visually tidy beside a pool or patio.
For entertaining: Select 36-Inch with Cabinets
The wider top gives a host room to organize separate foods and serve a larger group. Storage and side prep space make it feel like a complete cooking station.
For a full backyard menu: 36-Inch Air Fryer Combo
Cook the main course on the flat top while the integrated air fryer handles a separate side. It is a strong fit when you want one outdoor station to carry more of the meal.
For a custom outdoor kitchen: 28-Inch XL Built-In
A drop-in model belongs in the kitchen plan from the beginning. Check the cutout, ventilation, combustible-material requirements, and selected propane or natural gas variant with your installer before ordering.
For an electric outdoor kitchen: 30-Inch Drop-In
If your project is designed around an approved electrical installation, this model offers a different fuel path. Confirm the electrical and outdoor installation requirements in the product documents.
What about a smaller cart?
The active Select 22-Inch with Cart is the compact choice when footprint matters most. It has less space for simultaneous cooking than a 28- or 36-inch top, so think about how many people you usually serve.
