April weekends have a way of pulling you outside, and once you fire up the Blackstone 28 for the first time this season, you notice everything that needs replacing. The spatula handle is cracked and the propane hose has been sitting in the garage all winter looking questionable. This is the weekend you fix that.
This week’s Berry Basket turned up strong discounts on grilling and griddle accessories from names worth trusting. Weber, Pit Boss, Traeger, and Coleman all have products marked down, and the discounts look real. The Weber Apple Wood Chips sitting at the number one bestseller spot caught my attention first, and the Coleman propane hose is the kind of boring but necessary purchase that saves a last-minute hardware store run.
Heavy on cleaning and cooking tools this week, with some flavor and propane accessories mixed in. If you’re setting up your garden grilling station around a Blackstone 28 this spring, most of what you need is here.
What’s the best way to clean a Blackstone 28 griddle?
A clean griddle surface is the difference between food that sears properly and food that sticks to last week’s residue. These two tools handle different levels of cleanup, from light post-cook scraping to powered deep cleaning.
QKMPOM Electric Grill Brush
A flat-top griddle builds up residue fast, and scrubbing by hand gets old. The QKMPOM electric grill brush has two interchangeable heads and an adjustable angle, with three speed settings to match the mess. It runs for 150 minutes on a charge, and this one is a limited time deal.
- 2 interchangeable cleaning heads
- 3-speed with angle adjustment
- 150-minute cordless runtime
Weber Wood Scraper
For people who want to skip the wire bristle debate entirely, the Weber Wood Scraper is a hardwood tool with notches that conform to your specific grill grates over time. Bristle-free means no risk of metal wires ending up in your food. It’s a simple tool, but Weber built it to last.
- Hardwood construction
- Bristle-free design
- Grate-conforming notches
Which cooking tools work best on a flat top griddle?
A solid tool set and heat-resistant gloves are the basics for any flat top griddle. This week’s deals also include a cast iron skillet and a rolling grill basket for more specialized cooking.
Pit Boss 3-Piece Tool Set
Stainless steel with soft-touch handles. The Pit Boss three-piece tool set is the kind of unglamorous purchase that makes cooking outside noticeably easier. If your current tools came bundled with a cheap grill five years ago, this is the upgrade you’ve been putting off.
- Stainless steel
- Soft-touch handles
- 3-piece set
Traeger Cast Iron Skillet
The Traeger cast iron skillet is designed as a grill accessory, but it’s also induction compatible, so it works on cooktops too. Cast iron on a Blackstone 28 is great for smash burgers or anything where you want a hard sear without losing it through grates. It’s a bigger investment than most accessories on this list, but cast iron lasts decades.
- Induction-compatible cast iron
- Designed as a grill accessory
BCHWAY Rolling Grill Basket
Rolling grill baskets have gotten popular for good reason. The BCHWAY version is 304 stainless steel with a removable wooden handle and a nesting design for easy storage. If you’ve been grilling vegetables by laying them directly on grates and losing half to the fire, this is a cheap fix that works.
- 304 stainless steel
- Removable wooden handle
- Nesting design for storage
Charbroil Grilling Gloves
The Charbroil high-performance grilling gloves are straightforward heat protection for when you’re working close to a hot surface. Griddle cooking means grease splatter, and bare hands near a screaming flat top is something you only tolerate once. This is a no-frills upgrade that earns its spot by the grill.
- High-performance heat protection
Do wood chips and pellets add flavor to a griddle setup?
You can’t smoke directly on a Blackstone flat top, but many griddle owners run a charcoal grill or pellet smoker alongside their setup. These two flavor adds are for those companion cookers, and both come from trusted brands at solid discounts.
Weber Apple Wood Chips
This is the number one bestseller in its category, and the discount is real. Weber’s apple wood chips give a subtle, sweet smoke that works with just about any protein. A small smoker box on a secondary grill puts these to good use, and at two pounds per bag, it’s worth grabbing a couple.
- 2 lb bag
- Sweet apple smoke flavor
- Works with beef, poultry, pork, and fish
Pit Boss Mesquite Pellets
Pit Boss (20 pound Mesquite Blend) All Natural Hardwood BBQ Wood Pellets for Pellet Grills and Smokers
Twenty pounds of mesquite-blend hardwood pellets for anyone running a pellet grill alongside their griddle. Pit Boss pellets are all natural hardwood, and this bag sits at the number four bestseller rank. Mesquite runs bold, so it’s better suited for beef and heartier cuts than delicate fish.
- 20-pound bag
- All natural hardwood
- Mesquite blend
What propane and fire accessories complete the station?
The Blackstone 28 runs on propane, which makes a reliable hose a real necessity. And if you have a charcoal setup nearby, a good chimney starter saves time and lighter fluid.
Coleman Propane Gas Hose
The Coleman high-pressure propane gas hose is five feet long and available with either a Type 1 fitting or POL fitting. It works with grills, stoves, lanterns, and heaters, which makes it useful well beyond the griddle. If your current hose is cracked or stiff, this is the kind of replacement you grab before you need it urgently.
- 5-foot length
- Type 1 or POL fitting
- Compatible with grills, stoves, and heaters
Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter
The Weber Rapidfire is a compact chimney starter that lights charcoal in under 15 minutes. It’s sized for smaller grills like the Weber Smokey Joe and Jumbo Joe, so it pairs well with a charcoal grill sitting next to your Blackstone. No lighter fluid needed, just newspaper and a match.
- Compact size
- Lights coals in under 15 minutes
- Sized for smaller grills
Frequently asked questions
Do all grill accessories work with a Blackstone 28 griddle?
Not all of them. Accessories designed for grated grills, like certain covers and grill-specific mounts, won’t fit a flat top. Tools, gloves, propane hoses, and cleaning brushes are generally universal. Always check product dimensions and compatibility before buying.
What is the best way to clean a Blackstone 28 griddle after cooking?
Scrape the surface while it’s still warm using a flat scraper or a tool like the Weber Wood Scraper. For tougher buildup, an electric grill brush like the QKMPOM can save time and effort. Finish with a light coat of cooking oil to protect the seasoning.
Can you use wood chips on a Blackstone flat top griddle?
Not directly on the griddle, since it’s a flat propane cooking surface with no firebox. Many Blackstone owners use a smoker box on a secondary grill to get smoke flavor. Wood chips from brands like Weber work well in those setups.
How often should you replace griddle and grill accessories?
Propane hoses should be inspected each season and replaced if cracked or stiff. Cleaning tools lose effectiveness as they wear down, so replace them when they stop doing the job. Tool sets and gloves can go multiple seasons with proper care.
This week’s Blackstone 28 griddle accessories ranged from 31% to 50% off, with the deepest discounts landing on cleaning tools and universal cooking accessories. Seven of the ten picks come from trusted brands like Weber, Pit Boss, Traeger, and Coleman. That ratio is better than what I usually see in accessory roundups, where marketplace brands tend to dominate.
The standout is the Weber Apple Wood Chips. It’s the number one bestseller with a legitimate discount, and you’ll burn through a bag fast once grilling season is rolling. The Coleman propane hose is the most practical pick if your current one is due for replacement. I’d skip the Traeger cast iron skillet unless you specifically want cast iron for your griddle station, since the price point is higher than most people want for a single grill accessory.
Memorial Day sales are about six weeks out, and grilling accessories usually see another round of markdowns then. But most of these prices are already strong for mid-April, so I wouldn’t wait unless you’re holding out for a specific brand. You can browse all the latest deals for more options.
