I have this model of Blackstone griddle.
The one I got earlier this year came with a manual hood, but no soft cover, which I bought separately.
A hinged hood would be nice for convenience, but not required, but a soft cover is definitely required.
Also, the 15k BTU is not enough heat. I had to buy a variable regulator from Amazon (like $15), to bump the heat to about 45k BTU. I found that at 15k BTU it was unusable. The new regulator took about 5 mins to install.
If I could to it all over again, I'd probably get the Costco Blackstone for $450 right now, since it already includes a hinged hood, soft cover and 60k BTU.

Note: 45k BTU works perfect for me and my burgers and doubt I need more than that.

Sam's pro model is best model
I returned my Sam's one. It would barely heat up the griddle on high heat and if there's a slight breeze, forget it. Cooking a fried egg on high heat took over 15 min. Would not recommend Sam's brand for this type of item. Save up and get the tried and true.

You got a dud then. My Sam's pro model on high heat would have burned the egg within a second on high... Lol. I cooked all summer on the Sam's, it takes a few minutes to heat up, but once at temp I would never turn it over 1/3 heat or else everything would cook far too fast outside, and cold inside. Sorry you got a bad one but my Sam's gets hot af at 1/3 setting!

Aren't these 36" blackstone griddles all the same? The specs appear to show they all have 4x15000 btu burners = 60000 btu like the Costco one. What am I missing?

If that's how Costco is calculating the BTUs, then it'll need a new regulator too.
Some people have upgraded the burners too, but having upgraded to a variable regulator has made a world of difference.

It's very possible the propane inlet valve had an issue. Read somewhere that there's a safety feature on them if they aren't opened in a vacuum they won't flow fully. Had it happen on my gas grill and the fix was to close, remove, reattach and then open up the gas canister.

Its most likely this.
Any of the grills Ive messed with over the past couple years have a similar 'issue/feature/safety stop' in place.
The fix is as you mentioned: Close, remove, (I wait like 30 seconds here) , reattach and then open up the gas canister. In my experience this fixes the issue and its back to grilling/griddl'n again.

I wish my Sams has the Pro on the floor so I could get it at a discount while they want to get more room for Christmas decorations, but sadly they only have the one without a cover in club.

That's crazy. You can cook an egg in under 15 minutes on a sidewalk.

Yes, this one, I just bought it at the beginning of the summer, and I am a huge fan, shit they could pay me to promote it, price to value is excellent! I tried to cook literally everything on it, breakfast, lunch, dinner. Eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, kielbasa (another sausage lol), burgers/dogs, steaks, grilled cheese, hashbrowns, tortillas, pupusas, pork, chicken, shrimp, beef. I even did pizzas with a topper and some steam action to cook the top and bottom at the same time. Except for soup and pasta (but you could put a pot right on the thing) it was great. I'm getting another as soon as I can for my other place as well.

Wow I had no idea about this problem. Glad to know in the future what to watch out for. As I mentioned mines was HOT af. Burned several pancakes and I forget what else at first learning about just giving it 5 minutes to heat up, not "turn on high and then just start cooking". Turn on 1/3 and wait 5 minutes is best practice.

It looks like the problem that you were having was simple. Your regulator. The vacuum had it closed for a safety feature that's built inside of it. If you actually looking on on YouTube they actually show you what to do. It's very simple. You just got to release the pressure and the regulator will go back to where it was supposed to be. It's because you're not turning the tank off when you're done so the safety feature and the regulator is turning the gas low in it. Maybe that would have saved you a lot of aggravation and a little bit of money. But it seems like you fixed it your way also. Good luck, but if anybody stuck with that situation take a look on YouTube. They show it all over it

From my own experience buying/owning one of these cheapo Blackstones: For anyone wanting this, get a hard cover (preferably hinged) to go along with this or spend a little more on a griddle that comes with a hood. I suggest just doing the latter.

Trying to cover this up with just a soft cover and the plastic thingy that props the soft cover up is absolutely a pain and doesn't work well.

Get. A. Hard. Cover.
