Overview
The Blackstone 2401 pairs a 22-inch propane griddle with fold-down legs and built-in wheels, sized and built to travel to tailgates, campsites and beaches rather than stay fixed on a patio.
Where the larger Blackstone 28-inch griddle is a stationary backyard unit, this Flexfold model is built around portability, collapsing into a case-like shape for transport. That tradeoff shows up in cooking area, at 361 square inches versus the bigger model's 524, and in at least one report of misaligned leg holes during setup.
- 361 square inches of cooking surface
- Two independently heated burners
- Omnivore plate for even heat and quick recovery
- Rated for up to 14 burgers or pancakes per cook
Who it's for
Anyone who cooks outdoors away from home, tailgating, camping or beach trips, gets the most from a griddle that folds down small enough to load into a truck. Buyers wanting maximum cooking space for a crowd at home are better served by Blackstone's full-size griddles.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who take this griddle tailgating and camping call it easy to load, set up and break down, and several mention it travels well in a truck, though one buyer found it a bit awkward to move alone despite the wheels. A separate reviewer received a unit where the leg holes did not line up, calling the return process a hassle and noting a similar griddle was cheaper at another retailer.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Folds flat with wheels for easy transport
- Piezo ignition lights without a separate tool
- Latching hood protects the top while traveling
- At least one buyer received a unit with misaligned leg holes
- Smaller cooking area than Blackstone's full-size griddles
Performance notes
The Flexfold legs are the point of the design, folding the whole unit into a compact, wheeled shape for transport and unfolding back into a stable base at the destination. Like Blackstone's larger griddles, it uses the Omnivore plate to recover heat quickly and hold temperature evenly across two independently heated burners, and a rear grease cup keeps runoff off the cooktop. Piezo ignition is meant to make lighting straightforward at a campsite without a separate lighter.
