Blackstone wind screen upgrade

[halfprice]

With the recent I hate the blackstone grill because the wind blows out the flame, I didn't have that problem, but I decided to fix the problem anyways

Hopefully other will like this easy mod

Parts and tools needed

Screw gun with Philips head

4' aluminum 1-1/2" wide 1/8" thick bar stock. Home depot $14

Stainless steel self tapping screws. You pick whatever size you want. I used 3 in the back and 2 on each side

Cut bar stock 20" for back and 13" for both sides

With griddle top still on the grill line up the bar so it just touches the bottom of the grill. Screw it on. Repeat foe the sides. Done

If you don't have the problem with flame blowing out, how do you know your mod will fix it?

I stole it from another site from someone who was having that problem. He uses his only in his backyard and I guess it's pretty windy there

I've only had a wind problem one time. For me it was cheap preventive mod

Hi Jerry

I am going to copy that idea on my blackstone. My coach goes in tomorrow to have the mobileye installed at a local specialty shop. They will bill Giant RV for the labor since the dealership did not have the ability/knowledge to install it as well as adjust it to work properly. The dealership did purchase the unit for me as part of my deal/contract. While it is there, I will pay for them to install another 12 volt cigarette lighter plug on my dash. I have two on the passenger side and only one on the driver side. I need two on the driver side. They will have it done in one day.

I’ve never had a wind problem with my 17 inch Blackstone and it’s been used in some pretty windy places. There must be a reason Blackstone leaves all that space between the cooking surface and the “chassis” of the thing. Still, it’s a simple mod and I’ll keep it in mind if I ever find a need. Thanks for posting it.

They leave that space there so they can sell their own wind shields.

Everyone (china) makes wind guards for Blackstone's. Slide on removals. Nice.

Hi Jerry

I just did the modification to my Blackstone grill. Easy and reasonable mod.

Blackstone does not offer a wind screen for my 17 inch griddle so this modification is a good one for me since I have the 17 inch model.
