MixRBBQ 28-Inch Replacement Lid for Blackstone Griddles — 2026 Upgraded Hard Cover with Reinforced Hinge & Thermometer

This 2026 upgraded 28-inch hard griddle lid from MixRBBQ replaces worn Blackstone lids with a reinforced hinge, built-in thermometer, and a bonus waterproof soft cover for all-weather protection.

If your Blackstone 28" griddle lid is damaged, rattling, or no longer holds open, this MixRBBQ replacement solves those issues. Designed specifically to fit popular 28" Blackstone models (1517, 2206, 1853, 1885, 1605, 1803, 1839 and similar), the lid combines heavy-gauge coated steel construction with an upgraded hinge assembly to give you a durable, practical cover that performs outdoors.

How does the upgraded hinge improve everyday grilling?

The reinforced hinge assembly is engineered to stay open securely and operate smoothly during one-handed use — no more wrestling with a loose or floppy lid. Improved screws and a sturdier hinge reduce wobble and extend service life.

• Reinforced hinge plate for stable open position
• Pre-drilled screw points for a tighter fit
• Smoother pivoting action for one-handed lifting

What weather protection and materials are used?

• Coated steel shell for corrosion and water resistance
• Integrated analog thermometer for quick temperature checks
• Bonus 600D waterproof soft cover for extra all-season protection
