Cover and Carry Bag for 17" Blackstone Tabletop Griddle

Video Transcript for Review of Blackstone Cover And Carry Bag 17 Inch Tabletop Griddle - BL77FR

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. And today we're gonna take a look at this cover and carry bag for your 17-inch Blackstone tabletop griddle. Now I'm gonna go ahead and begin our look at the cover first. So let me move this a little bit more to the center so you can see. This cover is going to keep the top and sides of your 17-inch Blackstone tabletop griddle without the hood or hard cover safe from the elements when you leave your griddle outside.

And it's going to keep it dry and clean between meal times. And as you can see right here, this has a drawstring and a cord lock that should do a good job of keeping this cover on, especially during high winds or bad weather. And it should be able to pull this tight enough to keep this cover on. And when you are ready to use this, as you can see, it is a pretty nice tight fit, custom made for your 17-inch Blackstone tabletop griddle. As you can see, you simply pull this off, and it's going to be ready to use.

So let me go ahead and set this to the side here and set this cover off to the side here as well and talk about this carry bag a little bit. Now this zippered canvas carry bag is going to let you easily carry your griddle to the park, to the beach or stadium. And it's going to do a good job of making it very easy to transport. And, again, this is designed for your 17-inch Blackstone tabletop griddle without the hood or hard cover. And it's going to allow you to be able to hold and carry your griddle vertically.

And it's also going to allow you to store it as well. And this is also going to be great for keeping stains from getting onto the interior of your vehicle if your griddle happens to be a little bit dirty after cooking, if it isn't entirely clean. So it's gonna be a great way to protect the inside of your vehicle. I wanted to try to show you here that this does have a vinyl lining on the inside, so that should be easy to clean, to wipe up some stains or some grease stains or something like that. So that vinyl should be relatively easy to clean.

And I'd like to show you how this griddle goes into this bag. So what we're gonna need to do first, let me again move this off to the side and bring this over a little bit to the center here. What you're gonna have to do with your griddle first is invert the griddle top on the base of the unit here. So what you're gonna do is just remove the top of this griddle, flip it over, just like that. And that's going to allow this to fit inside the bag. So let me zoom out. This is probably gonna be a little bit easier for you to see. When you get to your bag, you wanna make sure that it's as flat as possible and as open as possible. And then you're just going to drop your griddle into the bag like this. See if I was able to get it in there, looks like I was. And so what I'm going to do then, let me move this to the center, is I'm gonna try to bring the sides of this bag around as much as possible. Again, this is a custom fit for this particular griddle so it is going to be a tight fit. Let me get this around the knob here. All right, so it looks like we're covered all the way around the sides. And then I'm gonna bring our top portion over. And this has. Let me zoom back in so you can see that just a little bit better. This has a heavy duty zipper with two poles and as you saw it, the zipper wraps around the three sides of this bag to allow you to more easily put this griddle in and also to remove it as well. And so, as you can see, that's going to allow you to carry this vertically. And this cover and this bag are made out of the same material. They're made out of heavy duty 600 denier polyester with reinforced stitching. And both the cover and the bag are going to be weather resistant, and they're supposed to be tear resistant as well. And as I mentioned, and again let me zoom out so you can see better. We have grab handles here, that's going to allow you to easily carry this. The handles themselves seem pretty heavy duty, and that's going to make this easier to transport while camping, tailgating or over landing. Now, just some shortcomings or downsides I would like to mention about the bag in particular. It is a tight fit as you can see, and there's no padding to it so I wouldn't expect a whole lot of protection if you happen to bump this into something or perhaps maybe unfortunately drop it or something like that. It's simply the polyester material. So it's gonna do a good job of protecting whatever you set this on from stains or something like that. And also, because it's a tight fit, I don't like the fact that the knob sticks out here at the top and the feet as well. These are just things I wanted you to be aware of. And also there's no room for the regulator or the grease tray. It is possible that you could put the regulator and the grease tray, maybe at the base of the griddle, but then I think it might be rattling around in there so there's no extra storage for that. So, again, things I wanted you to be aware of. If you're looking to keep your griddle covered, maybe in storage and you just wanna make sure dust doesn't get on it or stuff like that, I think this would be a good option for you to consider. But those are just some of the shortcomings that I experienced when I was preparing for our time together that I wanted you to be sure that you we're aware of as well. I think the straps are going to hold up. I think it's going to allow you to, you know, carry this easier than if it's not in something. So this is again going to be for the carry bag and for the cover. And if you don't need the cover, and you might be just interested in the carry bag, we do carry just the carry bag by itself and on your screen, I am including the item number for the carry bag all by itself without this cover. Well, that's gonna conclude our brief look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
