Griddle Buddy Silicone Griddle Mat for Blackstone 36/30/28/22/17, Heavy-Duty Food-Grade Pest & Rust Protection

Whether you keep your Blackstone on a patio, in a garage, or at a campsite, the Griddle Buddy Silicone Griddle Mat provides a flexible, reusable barrier that keeps out pests and environmental grime. Built from 100% food-grade silicone with a polished, sealed finish, this cover is designed to sit directly on the flat top, protecting the metal surface from moisture and particulate buildup while making cleanup faster.

How does this mat protect my griddle from rodents and insects?

The silicone creates a continuous surface over the flat top, closing gaps where small pests and insects can collect debris or nest. Its flexible edges conform to the griddle profile, making it difficult for animals to shimmy underneath and deposit droppings or nesting material.

• Seals flat-top openings to reduce pest access
• Non-porous food-grade silicone resists moisture and odors
• Fits multiple Blackstone sizes to ensure complete coverage

Will this cover prevent rust and make cleaning easier?

The Griddle Buddy’s polished surface and surface-sealing technology help keep water and airborne contaminants off the metal, lowering the risk of oxidation on exposed areas. Because the mat sits on the griddle, most dirt and spills land on the silicone and can be wiped or washed away instead of bonding to the steel.

• Polished finish reduces moisture contact with steel
• Wipes clean with soap and water — no abrasive scraping needed
• Helps preserve seasoning and reduces heavy-duty maintenance

Is the material safe for food and easy to care for?

Yes. Made from 100% food-grade silicone, this mat is designed for indirect contact with cooked food and safe handling around food prep areas. It’s simple to clean: rinse, hand-wash with mild detergent, or use a gentle brush; it resists stains and won’t absorb odors like some fabrics or untreated covers.

• Food-grade silicone approved for kitchen use
• Non-absorbing surface resists smells and staining
• Durable construction for repeated use and outdoor conditions

Which griddle sizes does it fit and how do I choose the right one?

The Griddle Buddy is available to cover common Blackstone flat tops including 36", 30", 28", 22" and 17" models. For best results, select the size that matches your griddle plate so the mat lays flat and provides edge-to-edge protection. If your griddle has raised trims or attached accessories, measure the flat cooking area to confirm fit.

• Available for 36", 30", 28", 22" and 17" Blackstone griddles
• Measure the flat cooking surface for precise coverage
• Flexible material adapts to slight profile differences

Who is this for? The Griddle Buddy Silicone Griddle Mat is aimed at outdoor cooks who want a low-effort way to protect and preserve their Blackstone griddle—home grillers, tailgaters, campers, and anyone who stores a flat-top outdoors or in semi-exposed spaces. If you want to reduce cleanup time, deter pests, and protect your griddle’s metal from moisture and debris without bulky, rigid covers, this lightweight, food-safe mat is a practical accessory to keep your flat-top ready for the next cookout.
