Blackstone Adventure Ready 17

Name: Blackstone Adventure Ready 17" Griddle
Brand: Blackstone
Price: 180.00 USD
Availability: InStock
Rating: 8.8 (1 reviews)

The Adventure Ready 17" swaps grill grates for a flat steel griddle surface, opening up a completely different style of campsite cooking: pancakes, eggs, smash burgers, stir-fry, and anything else that benefits from direct contact with a hot flat surface rather than falling through grates. It comes with its own folding stand, making it genuinely standalone, and the two independently controlled burners let you run different zones at different temperatures. It's heavier than a comparable grill and needs regular seasoning like any bare steel griddle, but for camp breakfast specifically, nothing else in this roundup competes.

Common Questions

Does the griddle need to be seasoned like cast iron?

Yes — the bare steel griddle surface needs an initial seasoning before first use and ongoing light oiling to prevent rust and build a natural non-stick surface, similar to cast iron cookware.

Can I still grill traditional foods like burgers on a griddle?

Yes, though you won't get grill marks the way grates provide — many people actually prefer smash burgers cooked on a flat griddle surface for the crust it develops.

How does it compare to a standard portable grill for camp cooking?

A griddle is better suited to breakfast foods, stir-fry, and smash burgers; a grate-style grill is better for traditional grilling with char marks and fat drainage. Some campers bring both for maximum flexibility.
