Every cut has a letter (A, B, C), and every step shows which lettered parts and which screws go together, so you build it like flat-pack furniture, one step at a time.
You also get dimensioned drawings, a materials and shopping list, a cost spreadsheet and CAD files, so the plans answer the questions that come up while you build.
CAD files included
A SketchUp-ready 3D model (.dae, every board a named part) plus DXF drawings for AutoCAD, LibreCAD or FreeCAD, so you can change a size, add your patio or hand the drawings to a drafter.
What you build
Plans for an outdoor griddle station in three sizes, for a 36 in, 28 in or 22 in tabletop flat-top griddle.
A low gray-washed cabinet from 2x4 and 2x6 lumber: a center bay that holds the griddle level with the counter, a plank prep counter on each side, slat doors with black pull bars, and a vented propane cabinet under the griddle (gaps between the slats, a slot at the bottom and the top, the back left open, and a strap that keeps the tank upright). Optional: a splash wall with a lipped bottle shelf over each wing and a side bottle rack.
- 36 in station: about 8 ft 2 in long, bay 39 in. 28 in station: about 7 ft 6 in long, bay 31 in. 22 in tabletop station: about 7 ft 5 in long, bay 30 in for a griddle body up to 27 in wide and 24-1/2 in deep. All are 2 ft 9 in deep with 3 ft counters
- Retail 22 in tabletop griddles differ in width, depth and height, so measure yours: the Measure Your Griddle sheet and the spreadsheet resize the bay and the rail height
- About 15 to 16 hours of work over a weekend, every board a standard 8 ft stick, a shopping list for the lumberyard
Fire, heat and propane
A griddle is a burner. Follow your griddle manual for clearances to wood and for gas hookup, keep the propane tank upright in the vented cabinet or outside, keep a noncombustible zone around the burners, and check your local rules. The plans include a safety and clearances sheet.
Compatibility
The three sizes are drawn for the common 36 in, 28 in and 22 in tabletop flat-top griddles, including Blackstone models. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Blackstone Products. Always check your own griddle's width, depth and cooktop height against the Measure Your Griddle sheet.
