Buying Blackstone griddle gifts goes wrong in one place: size. A cover cut for a 28 inch griddle will not fit a 36 inch one. This guide sorts gifts by what you know about the person, so nothing ends up as a return.
If you don’t know what griddle they own, buy consumables and tools: seasoning and conditioner, a scraper and cleaning tool, a press, spatulas or a spice blend. These fit any size. Covers, hoods and carry bags only work with the right size and series, so check the model first. For Canadian winters, a cover matters most.
Which Blackstone gifts work without knowing their griddle size?
Consumables, hand tools and gear for the cook fit every griddle, so they are the safe gift when you can’t check the model. They work the same on a 17 inch tabletop and a 36 inch cart.
- Griddle seasoning and cast iron conditioner: every owner uses it, and it gets used up. The most common seasoning mistakes are worth a read before you buy.
- 3-in-1 griddle cleaning tool: a scraper, scouring pad and refinishing brick in one.
- Signature Series spatula 2-pack: wide spatulas for smash burgers and breakfast.
- Large griddle press or a smash burger accessory kit: for the burger fan.
- 7-piece hibachi toolkit: includes an 8 inch chef knife.
- Smash burger seasoning or a Gourmet Series spice pack: a ready-made flavour gift.
- Iron Forged cleaning kit with apron: a cleaning set and an apron in one box.
- Snapback hat: a small gift for someone who already owns everything else.
Tools carry one catch. Owners tend to buy a spatula and scraper in the first weeks, so someone who got their griddle this year may already have them. Seasoning and cleaning supplies run out, which makes them the gifts least likely to be duplicates.
What do new griddle owners buy first, and what does that mean for gifts?
New owners buy in a predictable order, so the right gift depends on how long they have owned the griddle. In our October 2026 review of about 840 pages of owner discussion, buyers started with a cover or hood, then seasoning and a tool kit, then fuel setup, then fixes for wind and rust.
| If they… | Gift |
|---|---|
| Just got a griddle | A tool kit such as the 5-piece griddle accessory kit or the 25-piece ultimate toolkit, plus seasoning |
| Have owned one for a season or more | An 8-piece cleaning kit, grease cup liners or replacement scrub pads |
| Cook through winter | A cover for their exact size and a propane tank cover |
| Camp or tailgate | A camping-size kit, after checking their griddle |
| Want something new | A pizza oven or pizza accessories |
Which gifts only work if you check the griddle’s size and series?
Covers, hoods and carry bags are made for a specific size, and covers are often made for a specific series. A 28 inch cover will not fit a 36 inch griddle.
KS lists covers and cases by size and series, such as the Professional Series soft cover for 28 inch and 36 inch griddles. Before you buy, you need two things: the number in the griddle’s name (17, 22, 28 or 36 inch) and the series name. The easiest way to get both is to ask the owner for a photo of the griddle’s front or the model label. “What size is your griddle?” gives nothing away.
Size is also the decision owners argue about most. It came up in 183 threads in our review. That is one more reason not to guess.
Which gifts help a griddle through a Canadian winter?
A cover, the lid and wind protection are what Canadian owners rely on in winter. Winter was the most common Canadian worry in our review, in 103 threads, 44 of them Canadian. Owners in Saskatchewan and Alberta describe cooking through winter with a cover and the lid on, and they name wind as the main obstacle.
- A waterproof cover in the right size, from covers and cases
- A 20 lb propane tank cover
A natural gas conversion kit with wind guards is a gift only for someone who has a gas line and has asked about it. Owners raised natural gas in 50 threads, 19 of them Canadian. Confirm their model first, since KS also lists an Original Series kit, and use a licensed gas fitter for any work on a gas line.
What are good gifts for someone who already has a griddle and wants something new?
A pizza oven is the biggest step up for someone who already cooks on a griddle. Browse the pizza category for ovens, and add a pizza peel if the oven you pick doesn’t include one.
For a smaller gift, the Blackstone My First Griddle play set suits kids who want to cook alongside.
What should you not buy as a Blackstone gift?
Skip three things. First, a griddle for someone who didn’t ask. Size, fuel type and space all need their input. Second, any cover or hood without a confirmed size. Third, a second tool kit for someone who already has one.
Pick one gift from the safe list, add one size-specific item only after you’ve checked the model, and the rest is easy. Ready to choose? Browse all Blackstone accessories.
