Blackstone 5004 36” Griddle Hard Cover, Powder Coated Steel, Black

Works perfectly on my grill. Easy on and off especially for my wife. She had horrible time taking off full canvas cover.

It is easy to assemble, carefully packaged, sturdy and strong. I’m surprised some of the reviews weren’t that good but mine arrived in great shape. I was concerned with it while waiting to see it, but no issues or complaints for me and I’ve had it some time now. I live in Brooklyn, where the climate varies depending on the season. I have a protective outer cover that protects this lid and griddle itself. I fear rust but so far none. The thickness feels just right, nice and sturdy, not flimsy at all. I have a silicone liner that wraps around the edges of my blackstone, and this lid fits perfect and snug with it, further helping to keep moisture out. Neither the cover nor this lid failed me yet after some heavy rains, wind and weather. Winter is coming, I’m confident all will be well.

I've wanted one of these for some time, and just now found them in stock. Still out of stock on the Blackstone web site.This fit my 36" grill perfectly. It even covered the drip trough which was one of my worries. The two handles are very convenient, and it also has 2 hanging brackets on the underside of the handles that allows you to hang the lid off the back of the grill.This is very nice, as it acts as a wind block from behind, which if you're familiar with this grill, you'll know wind can be an issue and significantly cool the temps when cooking. YEs, it will get a little hot. Don't touch it, and you won't get burned.I wondered about it holding during bad weather, but we've had wind and rain since I installed it and no problems at all. I will however eventually get a bungee strap to put across it just in case. I don't want to find it in my neighbors yard, all bent up. I may put a brick or two on it, but I'll paint them first. Don't want to scratch it.It's sort of thin metal, but I expected that for the price, and you really don't want something so heavy it 's hard to lift, like the griddle itself.I highly recommend this item. Only thing I wish they had was colors. Stainless steel or red or blue. But, maybe later on.

Works as expected

perfect fit

Easy to setup, arrived with a slight bend/crease near one of the corners luckily the bend is outward and doesn’t affect the look.

The media could not be loaded. I love the cover, it's sturdy yet not too heavy where I can still lift it to hook it on the back. Assembly was easy, however, there is a dent on one of the corners. It's not too bad of a dent; I can maybe straighten it out with some force. All in all, very satisfied.

This hard cover provides protection for the clean griddle immediately after use even while it is still hot. It is sturdy and well-made. There are two pieces of metal included which can be attached to the underside of the cover that allow for storage on the backside of the griddle while cooking. The hanging cover doubles as a splash guard, and could potentially deflect some of the heat from the back area. It’s easy to remove and reposition. Not heavy.
