I had my mind up to buy the Blackstone 3 burner at Walmart. The day I went to make my purchase they had the 3 burner Pitt Boss Sierra ceramic. Both under $400. After some back and forth comparison I decided on the Pitt Boss. I liked the location of the grease cup better. The build quality seemed more solid especially the lid. The lid on the Blackstone was a poor sloppy fit and seemed tinny. Seeing the clean up chore friends have with their Blackstone and problem with rust, the ceramic was the final decider.
Been a few months and couldn't be happier. Probably use it 3 or 4 times a week. Breakfast, burgers, shrimp and fajitas. I can do a meal in half the time as with kitchen cooktop and heat and smells are outside. Clean up with water on a hot surface is quick. Surface still looks new. I only use silicone spatulas, wooden scrapers and paper towels to wipe down.
Warranty on the griddle is 2 years. Those that have replaced theirs under warranty that I've seen in reviews have had no problem doing so but everyone admitted to using metal tools on the surface. I guess PB didn't require silicone originally. They do now
Thanks for sharing!! The ease of clean up is definitely my favorite part. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience 😊.
now that you had it for 6 months how has it been for you? do you recommend i buy it?
The Pit Boss featured here is currently $673.92 in comparison to the Blackstone at $297.00 at Walmart. That's a huge price difference unfortunately. The question is basically do people want to buy a giant non-stick pan or a giant cast iron pan? They seem very different.
We've used this griddler for a variety of items including steak, fish, vegetables czcams.com/users/postUgkxMcXT6_MuT0hB3ejyGQQHaeof9bwoWPUf and mushrooms and it's been great! Gets that great smokey flavor when using high heat or sear. The grill works amazingly simple and very low smoke for what it is. Heat gets up fairly quick, especially on closed position. The griddler side is fairly simple, better for eggs and pancakes rather than any cooking. Use the flat plates with the grill side if needed.Cleanup is easy and having heat on both sides is great for cooking a large amount or panini press.This definitely gets hot though so be careful with the sides.
Facts!!
Made my mind up watching this. Love the Pit Boss. Thank you posting.....
I bought a Pit Boss recently and agree with you on everything. I gave away my grill a couple of years ago because of all the issues surrounding the traditional grill. I love my Pit Boss and cook on it regularly.
Just started watching your videos.....love them, your upfront and down to earth...just bought my pit boss pro 1150 smoker....loved your steak video so started subscribing. I have the big Blackstone, now I watch this video, wow such a difference!
Pink Walrus! This was a lot of fun to watch, and nailed why Adam and I love the PB! We cook so much, and cleanup is key! ❤️
I got the Blackstone 3 burner flat top with 2 burner side and fryer with the lid. Came assembled and delivered from RC Wiley. For me I like the steel over the ceramic but that is just me. Very easy to season and clean and this is my first griddle. Good review of both
Pink Walrus. Excellent review and comparison and I am now sold on the PitBoss. Thanks
I was always taught you clean as you cook,makes everything easier on the blackstone! Good video,thanks !
Pink Walrus. Thanks for the info. I've had a PB Sierra for over a year. Love it!
Great comparison. I’m getting the Pit Boss 1150 smoker next month and I’m also looking to get a four burner Pit Boss griddle soon.
I've been looking at getting a flattop for a while and having pulled the trigger yet. This video definitely helped me figure out which one is better, thanks!
Awesome!! Thanks for watching!
Pink Walrus. Love my 3 burner Pitboss for sure!!
Very informative. Thank you so much.
Pink walrus. Thank you!! Great comparison
You knocked that review outa the park Mazie.
Thanks for watching!
Pink Walrus! Thanks, this was incredibly helpful.
Pink walrus! Thank you for the awesome video. That was fun. Glad I went with the Pit Boss.
Yay! Thanks so much for watching!
Pink Walrus! Appreciate the in depth, side by side comparison as I’ve been considering a flattop. Great stuff 👍
Awesome, thanks for watching!
Pink Walrus! Love these comparison vids. I'm kicking around getting one of these but I already have a Pit Boss Pro Series 4 vertical smoker, a propane grill and a fire table on my patio. Hmmm.
Pink walrus. Thanks for a great comparison. This definitely helped me decide which one to buy - I'll be getting the Pit Boss. 🙂 Good job!
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it 😊
Just picked up my Pitboss sierra today at Walmart!! Be sure to check it out. I paid 387 dollars for the 3 burner with the non stick griddle. The only difference is the name and the paint job oh and the fact it’s 300 dollars cheaper!
Pink walrus!!! Awesome video. Before this I was completely sold on the Blackstone. But now doing more research on the Pit boss 😎
Nice! Either way a griddle is so fun to have!
Pink Walrus! This video was amazing and very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Great informative video. Pink walrus! I like the Pit Boss and I think it will be worth it to invest in one. Thanks BBQ by Mazie.
Nice work Mazie!!
Thanks so much!! I appreciate your support 😁
Great review! I have a Blackstone, but really like the look of the Pit Boss and the ceramic coating. Might have to pick one up in the future to try out! Also...I just saw a pink walrus!!
Pink walrus. I am thinking of getting a griddle this spring. Informative video, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
If you're not big on seasoned food, I can see the appeal of the Pit Boss. But I need that blackstone seasoned griddle taste. 🤤
Thank you great video.
Pink Walrus. Thanks for the review! In Utah myself down in Toquerville.
Pink Walrus and I have the Pit boss Sierra and so glad of my decision. Now my grilling arsenal is complete!
That’s an excellent addition!
$374 for 3 burner Pit Boss Sierra from Walmart. We just bought one and love it so far! Pink Walrus!
Pink walrus! Great info. Thanks.
Pink walrus. Thank you ! Thinking about getting a Pit Boss griddle and value your reviews as always.
I appreciate that!
PINK WALRUS
thank you for the video, I just ordered the 4 burner ultimate griddle
Awesome, let me know how you like it!
Pink Walrus. Thank you for the information!
Pink Walrus. Now I'm seriously thinking about ordering a ceramic top for my 36" PB. Great video as usual.
I think you’d love it! The non stick is so easy to cook on 🙌🏼
LOL pink Walrus! Great video as always
Woohoo!! Thanks for watching!!
Pink Walrus - great job!
Pick,walrus, thanks for an informative and entertaining video. I am going to buy an outdoor griddle and this helped me. My biggest issue is connecting to natural gas as My current Weber gas grill is connected to natural gas and propane bottles are a pain.
I’m not sure if they have a way to convert it but if you don’t have to mess with propane tanks I don’t blame you! There’s nothing worse than running out in the middle of a cook 🫠
Great Video, Thank you I own a BlackStone 22" with side burner that I use at home and for camping. Let me start by saying I do love it, but it is hard to keep clean. Im in the process of building an outdoor kitchen and looking for a new griddle for that. Thank you
Pink walrus! Thanks for the comparison. It was super helpful.
I’m glad you found it to be helpful. Thanks for watching 😊.
I have used both and ultimately bought the Blackstone. The temperatures across the Blackstone is just more consistent and holds heat better - also the surface will last a lifetime without the need to worry about using certain tools. It may just be me but the food tasted better on the Blackstone. Maybe because of a seasoned surface?
I own a Pit Boss Vertical Smoker and love it but I prefer the "cast iron" seasoned griddle top of the Blackstone. Once it's seasoned correctly, it's essentially a non-stick surface as well. I've love cast iron skillets and have never had an issue with anything sticking to them if seasoned properly and maintained. But as they say, to each his/her own. 🍔
Pink Walrus! I am convinced now that I need a Blackstone with a ceramic cook surface. So, I'll wait patiently until this option becomes available. Based on the very well executed bread test the Pit Boss has more temperature fluctuations on its surface rendering about half the surface a warming location. Great Video!!
They're E-Series electric has the ceramic top, so I have the best of both worlds with my 36 inch steel Blackstone and 22 in ceramic for camping. The 22 has two zones and they have a 17-in E-Series, but I'm sure you probably figured that out since it's videos a little bit older. Good luck, have fun cooking.
Nice comparison !
Pink walrus! I agree with you there are way more positives PB! After watching many videos including your assembly video I purchased the 4 burner! That was really the biggest decision, figuring out which one made more sense for my needs!
Oh I’m glad I could help! I’m coming over for dinner, You’ve got plenty of space to cook 😉
All are welcome here in the thriving metropolis of Euless Texas! I must warn you it’s a bit of a drive! But you are correct plenty of space to cook! Take care and keep up the great work!
Pink Walrus, great video!!!
Pink walrus. Great video. I'm in the market for a griddle and been looking at either the Blackstone or chargriller. Features on the pit boss sound good and will be adding it to take a look at as well. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Pink walrus...thank you for such a thorough video..I went in the store for the blackstone and came out with the just Pitt boss griddle. I was hesitant about my decision, but after watching your video I'm glad I went with the pittboss...
Awesome! I’m glad I could help you with your decision! I hope you enjoy it 😌
I just bought a blackstone I found the seasoning process fairly easy. And the cleaning process for me is not bad at all.
That’s great for you
Pink walrus. Great content. Thanks for this comparison.
Thanks for watching!
Pink Walrus! I just got my Pit Boss 4 burner model and did my first cook last night. I won't make my full assessment until I have fully put it through it's paces but so far I am impressed and happy with my choice! Thanks for the great video 🤙
How hot does it get?
@@Michigan_Wolverine Pit Boss recommends that you do a 15 minute burn-in before your first cook, mine got up to 675 after running on high for 15 minutes.
@@NicholasWalsh Perfect...thank you. I want a hoy grill. My big worry about this is that it wont get hot enough.
@@Michigan_Wolverine what do you need the heat for and hot how hot do you need it to get? heat is for searing in most cases but most of the time you'll be cooking at lower temps. another consideration of the griddles is how low can they get to get a proper cook. some turn of every other burner to acheive lower temps.
Pink Walrus. Great review, even cooler dance moves. Thanks!
Haha thank you ☺️
Great video , I'm going to buy either or very soon. My wife wants a black stone , but might change her mind after this video.
Either one is better than none at all, so just make the wife happy 😌.
Pink walrus. Thanks Maize!
I made it all the way thru. Good job.
Bless your heart 🥹 thanks for watching!
Pink walrus, and a very informative video. I love to cook and have everything from ceramic coated to cast iron and love it all. The downside to ceramic coated is once that starts to chip there is no saving it, but with the Blackstone depending on how bad the rust is you can clean it and save the Grill. I'm not a big fan of where the PB has the grease trap, yeah I'm sure it makes getting the grease in there easier but the amount of cook space that you lose because of that big hole even though it's not extremely large it's still crucial in my opinion. So I think the black stone has the better grease trap, both have their pros and cons as with anything. But in my opinion the size of the cooktop and the price are just two reasons alone on why I would go with the Blackstone
Great video very well done ! I can tell you are a pit boss girl by the matching nail polish ☺
Pink walrus. I was pondering thus very thing. I wanted a griddle and if was between pit boss and Blackstone. Pit boss it is (I love my pitboss pro pellet grill). Your the best!
Awesome! I’m glad I could help with the decision!!
Thanks for the video, Pink Walrus! (People probably think I'm being mean). I've been watching videos all week because Fleet Farm has the Ultimate Griddle 3-burner on sale for $379 over here in Minnesota!!! Crazy. It's been the griddle that I've been wanting and couldn't believe the ad when I saw that sale price. So now I've been watching all the comparison vids between PB and Blackstone, and I'm so happy to see the majority going with Pit Boss. Biggest thing for me is, the wife and I have been talking about getting one. I'd say yeah, but where do we keep it, here or the lake? Now we don't have to decide. The base stays home and the top goes with us on the weekends. I also have the PB Pro Series pellet smoker. It's a great brand.
Oh it sounds like the portability the griddle is definitely right up your alley!! I think you’ll like how it holds up in your winters too!
Thanks 🙏🏼
Pink Walrus, thanks for the comparison video. Judging from your video, I would have to go with the Blackstone. If I was buying one, I would be looking at the cooking surface, the constancy of the temperature. To be fair if you were cooking 2 smash burgers and no more, that little hot corner would suffice.
Now the cleaning part of it ... but you have to clean both, bit the Pit Boss looks easier, but less on the cooking performance in MY opinion.
Pink Walrus, great review...if my Blackstone dies, I am getting that pitboss
Pink walrus! Lol! The blackstone will clean up faster if it's hot enough to boil the water. The steam lifts the mess off.
Oh man. I’m glad I waited on the Blackstone. The Pit Boss is a game changer.
It really is! It’s made my life so much easier!
i clean my blackstone when it's real HOT. Scrape the leftovers off then squart water on it. The water then boils and steams all the remaining bits from the surface, Do that a few times then wipe with paper towels. Let cool and apply thin coat of oil.
pink walrus. Enjoyed the video. Very informative. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Pink Walrus, Great video 👍🏽
Thank you!
Pink Walrus!! Great video, off to buy a pit boss!!
I hope you enjoy it!
Pink walrus. Thanks for the very informative video. I was really leaning towards the Blackstone because it was really the only one I really knew about. Do you think the ceramic is more durable compared to the steel (disregarding rust only cooking wise)?
No, not even close. You can beat the crap out of the steel. You have to use plastic tools on ceramic
Pink walrus. And thanks for this video. I have a Blackstone. I want to give Pit Boss a try next time.
Definitely worth a try, I love mine! Thanks for watching!
Pw 18:40 I think it was a great review. I will say the PB is very nice but 3 times the price I struggle a bit, that being said I will probably get it. I was looking at the BS adventure series but if this is more portable than my 36 in BS than it may be a winner. Portable griddle, pizza oven, and charcoal grill, and I’m in business
You the best. love your videos
Thanks so much!
Pink walrus. Thanks for the information
Thanks for watching!
Thanks!
Wow! That dance ❤😂
Thanks 😌
I was just given a Blackstone knock off and lots of work to clean. I have a table top ceramic and a lot easier. Best of all is the griddle dance. I'm subscribing!!!
Thanks for the support! Enjoy that griddle!
Pink walrus thanks for the review
Thanks for watching 😀
Pink walrus. I'm still torn. But thanks for the review, well done!
Pink walrus! Yeah I agree with Scott I don’t have to give it a car wash before I put it away. Haha!
Pink Walrus! I've been cooking for over 65 years! I've spent 100's of dollars on non-stick cookware and will not buy anymore. I hope that cook surface does everything you want it to do.
Hi,
Did the cooking surface of the pit boss come completely clean, in the video, you showed a section that you had to work on?
Are you still happy with pit boss?
Thanks
Pink Walrus. What utensils do you use on the pitboss?
Pink Walrus. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
wondering if the griddle on the PB will fit on the KC Combo 8}
Love your channel thanks for the review! Pink walrus.
Thanks for being here!
I have the 2 burner blackstone griddle got to ask why would you season a ceramic top? As the ceramic has sealed the steel.
My first time with your channel. This is the level of detial that I like. Subscribed. #PinkWalrus
We love to see it 🫡 thanks for watching!
Pink Walrus
Just brought the pit boss can't wait!
Awesome! I think you’ll love it!
I don't know about griddles but pit boss does make some quality products with excellent customer service and warranty especially for the price
Enjoyed the video. Go pink walrus!
Thanks for watching!
Hi! Great video. I’m tossed between buying the ceramic top vs. traditional rolled steel. Since your video was made 11 months ago, how is the Pit Boss ceramic top holding up for you? Thank you for all you do.
Mine is holding up great but I see others saying theirs aren’t. Not sure if I’m taking care of mine differently or what. But I’m still very happy with mine.
@@bbqbymazie Thank you so much for your help and quick reply. Really appreciate it.
I like you and your videos a lot
Thanks for watching!
Pink Walrus! Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Hmmm, I lived in S.D. California, visited Sea World many times and I never noticed a Pink Walrus. Kidding aside, great vid and review!
pink walrus, nice video.
Thanks for watching!
Pink walrus well a better comparison would have been the 17-in or 22 in Blackstone cuz they are both portable pit boss does make a nice unit I can see that but also I have the 22-in Blackstone and I just ordered a pizza oven attachment for it which makes it more modular but either way you go you're going to have a good time grilling IMHO.
Pink Walrus. Thumbs up. Has the non-stick quality of the Pit Boss held up all these months?
