Blackstone 36″ Insulating Jacket for Built-In Griddle — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Blackstone 36″ Insulating Jacket?
This is a stainless steel jacket designed to surround a 36-inch built-in Blackstone griddle. It improves insulation, reduces heat loss, and helps maintain high cooking temperatures with better fuel efficiency.
Which griddle models is this jacket compatible with?
The jacket is engineered to fit 36″ built-in griddle units. It integrates with Blackstone’s built-in griddle lineup and shares mounting dimensions accordingly. Confirm your griddle’s frame width and depth match the jacket specifications.
What materials and construction does the insulating jacket use?
The jacket is made of durable stainless steel, chosen for its corrosion resistance and heat tolerance. The interior includes insulation to trap heat between the griddle body and the jacket shell. This helps reduce heat loss from the sides and back.
How does this jacket improve performance or efficiency?
By creating an insulated shell around the griddle, the jacket helps retain more of the heat generated by the burners. This leads to faster heat-up times, more even heat distribution, better temperature stability, and lower energy waste. Many users see smoother operation—especially in windy or outdoor settings.
How do I install, maintain, and care for the jacket?
Installation is typically straightforward: attach the jacket outer shell around the griddle’s frame or body using provided mounting points or fasteners. Make sure ventilation openings remain unobstructed. For maintenance, wipe the jacket with a damp cloth, polish as needed, and check seals or mounting brackets periodically. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve stainless finish.
Does using this jacket affect warranty or safety?
Using the manufacturer’s approved insulating jacket should not void the griddle’s warranty—if installed properly and in accordance with specification. Always maintain required clearances and airflow so ventilation and safety are not compromised. Retain purchase and installation documentation in case of warranty inquiries.
