Most fun cooking experience
This griddle from Blackstine has a huge flat-top surface that lets you cook everything at once—breakfast, burgers, stir-fries, and more—like a live cooking station. With fast, even heating across two zones and features like easy grease management and side prep shelves, it feels more interactive and creative than a standard grill where you’re mostly limited to grates and flipping meat.
Best for smoking
Ideal for smoking, this grill and smoker maintains precise, consistent low temperatures needed for true slow smoking while producing steady wood-fired smoke flavour. Its app control and built-in meat probe let you manage long smokes remotely and hit perfect doneness, which is especially important for cuts like brisket or pork shoulder.
