Score a Blackstone 2-Burner Flat Top Griddle for $224 at Walmart — Hard Cover Included
If a flat top griddle has been on your wishlist, this is the deal you’ve been waiting for. Right now, Walmart is selling the Blackstone Original 2-Burner 28” Flat Top Griddle with Hard Cover for $224 with free shipping — no club membership, no code needed.
Blackstone is the name in flat top grilling, and this 28” model is the sweet spot: big enough to cook for the whole family (smash burgers, bacon, pancakes, eggs — all at once), but compact enough to fit on a patio, tailgate setup, or truck bed without taking over your life.
Why This Deal Stands Out
The key word in this listing is with hard cover. Standalone hard covers for Blackstone griddles typically run $30–$50 separately, so getting one bundled at this price point is a genuine value add — not just marketing padding. The hard cover protects the cooking surface from rust and weather, which is the number one reason flat tops get retired early.
At $224, this hits a comfortable entry point for a cooking appliance that genuinely replaces your skillet, griddle pan, and grill for 80% of everyday meals.
Who Should Buy This
This griddle is a home run for a few specific people:
- Families of 4–6 who cook outdoors regularly. The 28” surface lets you run two or three proteins alongside veggies without juggling burners.
- Tailgaters and campers. This model is portable enough for game day parking lots or campground setups.
- Weekend breakfast households. Pancakes, eggs, sausage, hash browns — flat tops do the full diner spread in one shot.
- Anyone coming off a charcoal grill who wants faster weeknight cooking without losing the outdoor experience.
If you’re cooking for one or two people and space is tight, the 22” single-burner model (when on sale) might be a better fit. But for most families, the 28” 2-burner is the right call.
Spring Timing Is No Accident
May is prime time to buy outdoor cooking gear — inventory is full, summer hasn’t spiked demand yet, and retailers are moving units before the grilling season peaks. Once Memorial Day weekend hits, flat tops at this price tend to disappear fast. If you’ve been on the fence, this is the moment to pull the trigger.
A Few Things to Know
- Seasoning required out of the box. Like cast iron, a new Blackstone griddle needs to be seasoned before first use. It takes about 30 minutes and is straightforward, but factor that into your timeline before your first cookout.
- You’ll need a propane tank. The griddle runs on a standard 1-lb propane canister or a 20-lb tank with an adapter hose (sold separately).
- No pricing guarantee. Walmart online prices can shift. If the price has moved since this post, it’s worth checking again in a day or two — flash restocks sometimes bring it back.

If you already own a griddle, this is also a solid gift idea for Father’s Day, which falls in June — putting you well ahead of the rush.
