Pros & Cons
Pros
Love this 17 with the lid. Make sure you have a solid, portable, metal table to set it on. Each model is slightly different, some are lighter.
The only slight issue i had with the griddle has to do with storing it. 1) portability; heat distribution is satisfactory due to the h-pattern burners. 1).
Cons
The control knobs have a weird turn and stop point to trigger the igniter. The reason is that the hood was misaligned with the grill body. The right side burners burn yellow, while the 2 left side burner burn blue.
Blackstone has grown too fast as a company without growing the company to keep ahead of current sales. Better prices with free shipping are available. As of now, i have not received the product, the seller is no longer in the marketplace.
The griddle has severely rusted in the twelve months we’ve had it. This is good from a manufacturing standpoint, but it does cause problems.
From one corner to another, with one end of the straightedge held down, the opposite end is 7/16” above the griddle top. The hinge bolt holes are concave bent on one side and convex bent on the other.

I tried another brand last camping season and was very disappointed with the heat distribution so returned it.
Shipping
It made more sense than the back and forth shipping that would've happened to get the model that i was expecting.
Competitiveness
Great temperature control, even heat distribution and cooks like a champ!
Really good grill and got for a good price…was out of stock but got it for a good price
I immediatly converted mine to use a 20lb propane tank using the following regulator.
Moral to the story is to be sure you know what model you've ordered - because there are several for each of the sizes.

It says its for outdoor use only but i mostly use it inside without burning the house down or dying from smoke inhalation so i say its fine two things i would point out are that you will burn through the camping propane tanks and the claim that its portable is questionable
