I love my Blackstone 36" griddle. I have been removing the griddle and bringing it in doors when not in use. That thing is heavy and I really didn't have a great place to store it, so I bought the metal griddle cover. It works great and it has hooks on the underside to hook it on the back of the griddle while you are cooking.
It is not water proof. Every time it rained or snowed puddle would get through onto the cast iron. And we all know what happens when iron gets wet. I even tried to put items under to raise it up like a tent. But it leaks. Rust is not our friend.
I love my Blackstone 36" griddle!! My gas grill is going bye bye!! I have had it for two weeks and have cooked on it 11 times, even when it was 35 degrees out!! I would buy another BS Griddle! great product!!
Definitely a must for the 36” griddle. It protects the griddle from the elements and acts as a rear wind shield. The rear grease trap is not in the way either.
