is fired by two semi-circular burners which provide nice heat distribution across the surface.\u00a0 \u00a0The griddle is set up for using a disposable one pound propane cylinder but you can use an adapter to hook up a full sized propane tank.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Lifting on side of the cart and rolling the griddle around is extremely easy so you shouldn&#8217;t have any problems moving it if you need to do so.\u00a0 The lid latches securely in place and looks pretty when not in use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This griddle is comparable in size (318 sq in) to the Blackstone 22 inch griddle (352 sq in) which is available as a tabletop griddle or a cart mounted version.\u00a0 The cart for the Blackstone 22 does not have wheels and is harder to move.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This product is new for the 2020 grilling season so there are not currently enough reviews to make a true head to head comparison against the equivalent Blackstone.\u00a0 However, the limited number of reviews (24 as of June 12, 2020) are positive overall and there is every indication that this is a nice
