Although surface area can never be enough, the prep station takes it to the limit. I can work with whatever meat is on the menu and the vegetables without fear of pushing it off the railing.(It’s happened). When finished, the prep cart can be neatly folded up, and has a carrying handle. Like a standard gas grill, having a lid/hood keeps heat in, which cooks food like an oven. This capability is especially helpful when cooking thicker cuts of meat like whole chicken breasts or thick-cut steaks. The performance of the 28 inch griddle should be slightly better than the 36 inch version. There are circumstances that are out of control that may cause shipping postponements. While most packages will arrive on time, there may be circumstances and delays that our carriers may experience. For this reason, we do not guarantee the exact delivery time; the delivery issue is the responsibility of the shipping company. You don’t have to use the stand if you prefer not to. The griddle lifts off quickly and can be placed on a table or cart like any other tabletop griddle. Conversely, if portability and compactness doesn’t concern you, I would consider one of the standalone models, such as the Blackstone 28 inch griddleandBlackstone 36 inch griddle. These are less portable but provide larger cooktops allowing you to cook more food at a time. Blackstone offers a single burner 17 inch griddle that is designed to be a portable cooker to take to the beach, camping, tailgating, etc.
