LoCo Ousts Blackstone as Top Flat-Top Grill Pick
Consumer Reports has named its top pick for flat-top grills in 2026 and it's not Blackstone. The LoCo Series II 36-inch 3-Burner Digital Propane Flat Top Grill took the top spot, while the Blackstone Original Outdoor Griddle 28-Inch 2-Burner Flat Top Grill came in second.
The LoCo grill received a perfect score for evenness and was praised by one reviewer on the Home Depot website as 'a great grill. Not too small, not too big. Very convenient. I loved being able to control the fire as I want.'
Consumer Reports noted that the LoCo Series II has three separate temperature zones, which can be independently controlled for cooking different types of food at the same time.
