Ditch Basic Blackstone Griddle Storage With A Clever Upcycled Solution
Arguably one of the best things about owning a Blackstone griddle is all the accessories that come with it. For example, the popular 30-Piece Accessory Kit includes spatulas, grease-catching pans, tongs, cleaning pads, grill scrapers, and squeeze bottles. While these tools make using a Blackstone easier, it's an awful lot of stuff to keep stored. And if you've ever tried to keep it all on the basic shelf the griddle comes with, you're going to run out of space pretty quickly. So why not keep everything orderly by upcycling an old rolling storage cart instead?
A good storage cart can do wonders for kitchen organization, and the same is true for your outdoor grill setup. Not only can said cart increase the storage capacity for the ever-expanding Blackstone accessory line, but it makes things more accessible because of its multi-tiered shelves. One shelf can house spices, sauces, and squeeze bottles. Another shelf of hooks can hold spatulas and tongs and the bottom shelf can hold extra grease pans or burger presses. You could even use it to transport your food.
The mobility of the cart also allows you to easily store it during the off-season or when it's not in use. All you need to do is roll it out when you need it, and tuck it away when you don't. It makes the whole storage process more efficient and keeps you from having to awkwardly carry your accessories to and from your Blackstone.
Wheeled storage carts are easy to find, and fun to use
Another boon of using a storage cart for your Blackstone griddle accessories is that they are very easy to find. Since they've become a common home storage element, you might even already have one on hand. If not, storage carts are easy to find at thrift stores or at large-scale retailers like IKEA, which offer affordable, clever storage solutions. It's also worth checking out Facebook Marketplace to see if anyone is looking to part with one.

You also don't need to be bound by a simple, three-shelf design. Look for ones that have butcher block tops or some other kind of built-in countertop. This will provide the added benefit of a prep space for your ingredients, and could even double as a table or bar.
If you find you need even more storage, you could either get yourself another cart. Or, create extra storage using a clever hack that adds drawers to your Blackstone shelf using basic items you can find at Home Depot. Together, they'd give you the most optimal storage space that can fit all of your Blackstone accessories.
