Quick Answer

For a Blackstone 1504 or 1555 Tailgater, the 1504/1555 Griddle Top is the direct replacement part. It fits the 1504 Rec Stove, 1555 Tailgater, and 1827 Tailgater models, giving you a 16x16-inch cooking surface that swaps in without modifying the stove.

Why the Right Cooktop Matters

Investing in the original replacement part keeps your Blackstone performing like new and ensures a hassle-free fit.
