A step-by-step guide to replacing a damaged leg or installing a new propane bar leg set on your Blackstone griddle. Covers tools, alignment, and common mistakes.
Quick answer
Installing a propane bar leg set on your Blackstone griddle takes about 10 minutes with basic tools. Focus on matching the correct leg to the side bracket and securing the propane bar first to avoid misalignment.
When you need a replacement leg set
The leg set is not a typical wear item, but it can bend or break if the griddle is moved with heavy accessories attached or if it tips on uneven ground. The replacement leg set for models 1554 and 1564 (part 1554) includes the left leg and the propane bar that supports the tank. If your propane bar is bent or the leg won't lock straight, replacing the entire assembly is more reliable than bending it back.
This guide assumes you are working on a cold, empty griddle on concrete or level ground. If you are assembling a new griddle from the box, the leg set slides into the frame brackets before you attach the griddle top.
Steps to install the propane bar leg set
- 1. Remove the old leg assembly (if present): Slide the griddle top back or tilt the frame to access the leg bracket. Press the spring-loaded locking pin and slide the leg out of the frame channel. Repeat for the propane bar bracket if it is attached separately. Common mistake: Do not force the leg out with pliers—this bends the locking pin. Use gentle hand pressure while pressing the pin.
- 2. Position the new propane bar into the frame slot: Insert the curved end of the propane bar into the open bracket on the underside of the griddle frame. The bar should sit flat against the frame rail. Push it until the pin clicks into the locking hole. Checkpoint: If the pin does not click, the bar is upside-down. The propane bar curves down toward the tank, not up.
- 3. Slide the left leg into the leg bracket: Hold the leg at a slight angle and slide the top into the rectangular bracket on the frame. Push upward until the spring pin snaps into the round locking hole. The leg should stand straight without wobbling. Common mistake: Inserting the leg backward (flat side out) prevents the locking pin from reaching the hole. The flat side of the leg should face the griddle body.
- 4. Attach the propane tank to the bar: Place your propane tank onto the center of the propane bar. The bar's lip should hold the tank collar. Tighten the tank retention screw or strap if your model includes one. Checkpoint: Verify that the tank does not rock on the bar. A loose tank can tip while cooking. If the bar is not level, remove the leg and reinsert it with the bar fully seated.
