Our verdict

Blackstone suits US home cooks who want a single brand covering griddles, pellet grills, smokers and pizza ovens, with prices starting at $149.99. The trade-off is cover: the warranty runs 1 year, and buying outside the US falls outside the listed markets.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Prices start at $149.99, and the same brand sells griddles, pellet grills, smokers and pizza ovens, so you can add a smoker later without changing maker.
  • Fuel choice runs to gas, pellet and electric, giving gas, pellet and electric in one lineup, where Char-Broil and Lodge list no pellet grill.
  • The Omnivore griddle offers 3,948 cm² of cooking area, enough to work through a menu without cooking in batches.
  • Portable builds sit in the range, and the pellet grill connects to an app for longer cooks left unattended.
  • Support reaches email, chat and phone, so a phone line and live chat sit alongside the help centre and a community board.

Cons

  • The 1 year warranty is the soft spot: Blackstone ranks 24 of 34 on cover length, under the 4 year median for grills and smokers.
  • Buying is limited to US, and the company sits in the United States, so shoppers elsewhere need to check shipping, duties and warranty handling themselves.
  • Griddles lead the range: griddle, pellet grill and smoker has no charcoal grill, where Char-Broil, GrilyKrby.cz and Lodge all list one.
  • Help runs through email, chat and phone, which is broad, but a fault found after the 1 year term is a cost the buyer carries.

Who it suits

  • Cooks who want one range across griddles, pellet grills, smokers and pizza ovens: Blackstone lists griddle, pellet grill and smoker.
  • Patio gas or charcoal shoppers: Char-Broil builds its list around gas grill, charcoal grill and electric grill for a grill led alternative.
  • Kamado cooks and multi fuel buyers: GrilyKrby.cz covers gas grill, charcoal grill and pellet grill, a wider set of cooking styles.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone buying outside the US, since Blackstone lists US as its only market and is based in the United States.
  • Shoppers set on a charcoal cooker: Lodge works from charcoal grill, smoker and griddle, and Char-Broil centres on gas grill, charcoal grill and electric grill.
  • Buyers who rank warranty length first: the 1 year term is short against the 4 year median, so check Char-Broil and GrilyKrby.cz terms before committing to a large unit.

What it does well

The Omnivore griddle carries 3,948 cm² of cooking area, which suits cooking for a table in one go rather than in batches. Portable models sit in the range, so the same cooker moves off the patio when the weather turns or the trip takes you away. The pellet grill connects to an app, handy for long cooks you would rather not stand over. The weaker side is the term itself: the warranty runs 1 year, so a fault found later on falls outside it and the repair cost lands with the owner.

Where it sits among rivals

On starting price, Blackstone ranks 18 of 39 brands, which places entry pricing in the middle of the field rather than at the budget end or the premium end. That published figure belongs to the smallest unit in the range, so a full size griddle or a pizza oven carries a different price. On warranty length the standing is weaker, at 24 of 34. Entry price and cover pull in opposite directions here, so weigh the specific unit you want rather than the cheapest listing.

Who runs it

The seller and the warranty holder are the same company, North Atlantic Imports LLC, headquartered in the United States. The brand dates back to 2008, which places it as an established name in outdoor cooking rather than a recent entrant, and the same operation handles shipping and returns. Support is broad, running through email, chat and phone, so a fault can be raised by phone, live chat or email and worked through the help centre or a community board without leaving the brand.

Frequently asked questions

What does the cheapest Blackstone cost?+

Entry pricing starts at $149.99 on the griddle collection. Among the brands compared on starting price, Blackstone ranks 18 of 39, which puts it mid-field rather than at the cheapest end. Larger griddles, pellet grills and pizza ovens sit well above that figure.

Which fuels can a Blackstone run on?+

The range runs on gas, pellet and electric. Gas is the most common fuel across the brands compared here at 67.6%, with wood at 58.8% and electric at 47.1%, so a gas griddle suits a patio while the pellet grill covers the wood route for anyone without a gas line.

How long is the warranty on a Blackstone?+

Warranty cover runs 1 year, and Blackstone ranks 24 of 34 brands on that measure. The grills and smokers median sits at 4 years, so shorter cover is the main thing to weigh before committing to a large unit.

Can one brand cover a griddle, a smoker and a pizza oven?+

Blackstone lists griddle, pellet grill and smoker, covering flat-top griddles, a pellet grill, a smoker, a pizza oven and an electric grill. Lodge works from a narrower list in charcoal grill, smoker and griddle, while gas grill, charcoal grill and electric grill centres on gas, charcoal and electric grills and includes no pizza oven.

Does any Blackstone model connect to an app?+

Yes, the pellet grill connects to an app. App connected gear is common across the brands here, with 75% offering it against 25% without. A plain griddle remains the simpler buy if phone control has no appeal.

Where can you buy a Blackstone?+

Blackstone lists US as its market and is headquartered in the United States. Buying outside the US sits outside the listed coverage, so freight, duties and warranty handling need checking with the seller before ordering a large griddle or oven for pickup abroad.

How do I reach Blackstone support?+

Support runs through email, chat and phone, so you can call, chat, email, work through the help centre or post in the community. Across brands in this category a help centre is the most common route at 93.9%, and phone support reaches 72.7%.

How much cooking space do the bigger griddles give?+

The Omnivore griddle carries 3,948 cm² of cooking area, and portable models let you move the same unit off the patio. For context, the median maximum temperature across brands in this category sits at 400 degrees Celsius, so check the ceiling on any pizza oven you shortlist.
