Awesome BBQ Merch:

This video shows you how to properly season a flat top griddle before first use. Also avoid a rookie mistake that is PAINFUL!

😂 I'm surprised no one commented on the rebranding of the griddle!

I’m very happy to you take care of yourself during this process. Staying hydrated is very important to the process! Cheers! 🍻

I have owned my BlackStone griddle for 4 years now. One great piece of equipment for my outdoor kitchen. As for seasoning. I did not go through all of the cycles he is doing here. Nothing wrong with what he is doing here. I heated up my griddle the first time and put some Canola oil on it and rubbed it in. I started immediately cooking on the griddle. The more you cook on the flattop, the more seasoned it gets. So just use it and over time it will get a nice coating. Just remember after each use, after it cools and you give it a good cleaning, wipe it down with a new heavy coat of oil and cover it up. Chef Jerry

That mistake looked painful! I hear staying properly hydrated as you did will help with pain management.

Well well well, we have another man that says, "Stay Hydrated" while opening a beer! Cheers brother! You remind me of myself.

Yes Grill Sergeant! Thank you for conditioning my body and mind. Feel free to do it anytime.
You are correct in how you clean and season the Blackstone. I enjoy the hell out of mine and stay hydrated all the time.

So informative!!! If we’re ever lucky enough to get our hands on one of these gorgeous Blackstones, we will be seasoning it up with your advice on mind!!! Bring on the smash

[PMPBBQ]

That's a sweet griddle you've got. I like that you basically season it like cast iron. Looking forward to seeing your cooks you make on it.

Great video! I just put my Blackstone together yesterday and will be seasoning today! Thanks for sharing!

[ogmont]

Hydration is a must. Your video is the the best, straight to the point. Thank you for that.

[Hank-ski]

HA! BlackstoneD. Nice Easter egg.

I'm getting my used Blackstone cook top back from the sand blaster today. I'm going to use your technique to season it.

Lol I just seasoned my new Blackstone Air Fryer Griddle Combo a couple weeks ago and burned the heck out of my fingers too! Not quite that badly but dang that heat transfers through the cloth fast! Great safety tip and thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend brother!

[zachlewis]

Nobody says anything about the "D" on the end? Hahahahaha Blackstoned!

[jerseydevil]

I would definitely use plain water to remove soap residue, heating it doesn't remove it.

[jeffquast]

Being its a Blackstoned maybe should season in hemp oil LOL just kidding great video thanks for sharing

[richardbsweeny]

Take a shot everytime he says "basically" 😁🤣😁🤣

[KapinKrunch]

Thanks for this video I just got myself a new 36 in culinary series with hood at Lowe's can't wait to get her seasoned

[jjyemg]

When he opened the beer....I subscribed.

[UpNorthRob]

so if I didn't go a great job season when new...can I do a "reset"? Clean with soap/water and re-oil? Re-boot...if you will?

[richdiscoveries]

Awesome bud!!
I'm about to go and season my table top griddle. Its 9:00 am, but I'm off for two weeks, so I guess I can stay properly hydrated during the process. Lol.
Thanks man. Can't wait to use this today
