Why we love this deal
This season’s weather encourages many outdoor activities, from outdoor hikes to picnics at the park. It’s also a great time to start enjoying your patio again. While grilling is typically considered a summer activity, there’s no reason you can’t start now, especially when you see a deal like Walmart’s sale on the Blackstone Four Burner Outdoor Griddle.
Normally $344, Walmart is selling this bestselling model for just $297, right in time for grilling season. The best part? It even comes with a hard cover, which you usually have to purchase separately. It features a rolled steel cooktop with four independently controlled cooking zones, so you can have four different foods going at the same time. One shopper said that cooking on it made them feel like “the Gordon Ramsay of suburbia,” and we’re not sure praise gets any higher than that.

Why do shoppers love it?
If you’re hoping to cook for a crowd of family or friends, this griddle can get the job done. It measures 66.5 inches long, 26.25 inches wide, and 38.39 inches high and has an impressive 768-square-inch Omnivore griddle plate that delivers 38,000 BTUs. You won’t have to worry if it’s windy on cookout day, thanks to built-in wind guards. The sale is on the propane version, so you’ll just need to hook up a canister, and you’re ready to go.
This grill has plenty of bells and whistles along with its powerful cooking abilities. It’s on lockable wheels, so you can easily relocate it anywhere you like without having to worry about it rolling as you cook. It has a shelf on each side so you can keep sauces, plates of meat to grill, and anything else you may need close at hand. The shelves have hooks built to hold tools, as well as a magnetic tool bar on the left side. There’s even a paper towel holder built in, in case you need to wipe up any spills.
While this grill does require assembly, shoppers say it’s easy and takes about an hour. Some shoppers mention that it’s heavy, so you may want to have a friend or family member on hand to help with the process.
