28" vs 36" Blackstone Griddle

[Dweverett]

Thanks folks for the responses.....So the griddle most of the time will be used to make breakfast for 8 to 10 people....eggs, bacon hash browns, pancakes...I know with 28" I would not be able to do all of the them at the same time.....but perhaps not on the 36 either.....

Jeanie, seeing what you are capable of making, I can see how the 36" may not be enough sometimes.

Based on that I'd say 36" as well. Even then you will be doing multiple batches of food I think. I've only used mine once but I've realized that the food you cook on a griddle is less efficient from a space perspective than a grill. On a grill you can space the food pretty carefully. Lots of breakfast foods either spread out (eggs and pancakes) or at least need some working space (hash browns etc). The 36" space fills surprisingly quickly

congrats, you got a better price than when I got mine a few weeks ago! I paid $300 plus tax in US money. It's a great product, enjoy!

I have both. Bought the smaller one first and love it for its small size that is easy to lift and transport for comps. Great for a small team. Only thing I don't like about it is the round burners. Definite hot spots above burners. This can also be to your advantage though. Bought the bigger one for home and bashes when I'm cooking for the masses. The tube burner is much more even across the grill. Great for cooking large quantities and for creating hot and cold zones. By the way, I take both to bashes and cooked the winning 2015 Spam entry on it. Also cooked the winning cooks choice entry on the small one at Osage City.

36" no brainer! Especially since it hit $233.99 on amazon today

Well done!

36" sounds perfect.
