Whether you’re firmly in the charcoal grill camp, prefer your gas rig, or opt for a wood pellet setup, there's no shortage of ways to get grilling. But if you want to really max out on versatility—cooking everything from pancakes to perfectly charred smashburgers—you need a flat-top griddle. Thankfully, one of Walmart's most popular models just went on sale, and it's the perfect entry point to the flat-top lifestyle.
The Blackstone 1935 Griddle is on sale at Walmart for $270, a 29% discount on its usual price of $380. This portable, propane-powered griddle has earned nearly 2,500 five-star ratings from customers who’ve used it for backyard cookouts, camping, and tailgating. In addition to its tidy size and extreme portability, the flat-top surface makes it super versatile—you can make breakfast, lunch, and dinner all on one surface.
The Blackstone 1935 Griddle is a propane-powered flat-top grill designed for easy transportation. It features a 22-inch cooking surface with two cooking zones, each powered by an H-style burner; together, they pump out 24,000 BTUs of heat. A side shelf gives you a convenient staging area and a place to hang utensils, and the griddle is designed with Blackstone’s proprietary “grease management system” that makes cleanup a snap: Just scrape grease and food residue off the cooking area directly into a receptacle at the back of the griddle. Its scissor legs, dual wheels, and large grab handles will also help you maneuver the griddle into place, and the legs fold down, so the whole package takes up very little space when packed in a car or tucked into a garage.
With thousands of glowing reviews from Walmart shoppers, it’s safe to say this Blackstone griddle is well-loved. Many have pointed to its portability and size as major selling points. “This is every dad's dream,” one shopper said. "A griddle that is just the right size for the family, but also portable and low maintenance.” Another shopper called it “great for camping” and said, “Couldn't be happier with how easy and convenient this is to use on our camper.”
Of course, a griddle is only as good as the meals it cooks, but reviewers say the Blackstone offers stellar performance in that department. “You can literally cook anything and everything on these,” one shopper said. Another reviewer uses theirs to cook breakfast every week and loves it. “I now cook outside every Saturday on my Blackstone,” they said. “It's a pleasure doing so, no more messy kitchen stove top and a pile of frying pans!”
Whether you’re an accomplished grillmaster or looking for your first flat-top grill, you can’t beat the portability and versatile cooking power of the Blackstone 1935 Griddle. Make sure to order yours from Walmart ASAP—this 29% discount surely won’t last long.
