In her defense, she did say someone needs to take the Blackstone away from her...

[SS_DT]

The way I gasped. Sister, why the hell did you do that?? What possessed you to think that was a good idea? 😱

[minax]

Girl I love your content but you scratched the whole thing 😢

[williammcdowell]

When she said sanding it down, I shook my head... I knew what the outcome was going to be.

[michaelcole]

If there was ever a "bless your heart" moment.... this is it.

[Lill-qt]

Not her thinking that the scratches are the clean part 😂

[MikeVincent-nkrs]

I always appreciate someone trying and doing their best. So I mean no disrespect I just want to offer some advice since you asked very politely. First you can buy a new top but I don’t think you need to just yet depending on if those scratch marks are gouges or not. To buy a new top I think I saw for around $200 vs $350 for a whole unit at Costco. May be better off to sell yours to someone who can refinish it themselves and you start from scratch

If you refinish. I’d start by watching a multitude of videos on cleaning and refinishing a Blackstone. The flat top king is definitely my favorite for a combination of knowledge and ability to simplify the process. There are many others but I’d suggest go to someone that specializes in it. A couple big things I noticed were first you were sanding with a deep layer of grease still on. There are many ways to tackle that but you should really try to strip all that long before sanding. Second your choice of grinding/sanding. You should never scrape or sand with a point. You want to maintain a flat surface to avoid gouging and scratches. That was unfortunately one of the worst sanding methods. Either use sand paper with a bock, palm or orbital sanders. You can also use sanding blocks specifically for this. They work great but they just require more elbow grease. It’s clear you are willing to try and put the time in so you can do this if you want just spend some more time researching/ YouTubeing the procedure

Good luck

After that first huge scratch you didn’t stop to wonder if you should stop 😭😭

[lilacheart_]

i’m a dumbass 20 year old who’s NEVER used a grill let alone a black stone…and even i went “now hold on…i don’t think…”

[SaucyRossyBBQ]

Hey good luck with this! That’s totally not an easy task, so keep up the hard work you’re totally get it 😊

[Cuda_Clutch]

Here’s a tip. High heat, let it smoke off all the oil. Hit it with a scraper to get off the large chunks, then wire brush it. Rinse with water, high heat to burn off the water and THEN low heat and add oil. Hope you see this and it helps.

[Beaniebabe]

I've never owned a Blackstone in my life. But* when I heard her say I'm just going to sand it for a fresh start, even I gasped and was like 💀

[madikam]

I do not think you were supposed to do that 😂

[Red_Four]

I sense a great disturbance in the Force, it was as if millions of men suddenly cried out in terror, and were silenced.

[littlebadwolf]

Darling DARLING NEVER EVER DRILL OR SAND IT, you treat it like a cast iron pan. If you really want to go the rough route, use a copper scrubber after you use raw onions and baking soda and apple cider vinegar...then rinse and reseason it

[syntaxer]

Eeeek, you put permanent scratches/gouging into the cast finish. Absolutely the wrong sanding attachment and tool for the job. Maybe save up for the weber slate now.

[kyloren]

I'm calling Blackstone Protection Services 😭

[alinpass]

I appreciate post like this that teach others what mistakes not to make.

[stinepetersen]

Tip from a professional kitchen. Cover the entire thing in coarse salt and heat it up (on high). The gunk binds to the salt and then you can season it again

[Modig]

If your goal in this video was to force yourself to buy a new black stone then you nailed.
