Thank you for the video! My neighbor put a Blackstone griddle exactly like that one on the corner for trash pickup. He only had it for a year but never covered it or took care of it.

He told me that it was junk. I did exactly what you did and was cooking on it that night.

I spent about 3 hours trying to clean a griddle cooktop and just barely scratched the surface. I got to thinking and grabbed my paint stripper wire brush and attached it to my cordless drill. WOW! I wish I had thought of that 3 hours earlier! Then I came across this channel and was happy to see I wasn't the only one with that idea. I'm definitely headed to Lowe's to get one of those wheels for my angle grinder!

I have a love hate relationship with my Blackstone. Hard to use frequently enough to avoid rust, but breakfast, stir fry, and Oklahoma onion burgers are such a pleasing experience.

Did this to my camp chef 600! Better than new👍 didn’t like the coating on it and this fixed that. Used a dewlt 60 grit xp sanding disk on my grinder, took about 25 min. Washed It down and then seasoned it. Peanut oil Browns about 500f degrees and starts to season. Takes about 45 min. Thanks for the video .

I just did this to my Blackstone. I used an 80 grit polishing wheel. It seasoned better and it’s more smooth than it was when new. Mine wasn’t rusty though. It was just built up with seasoning that was cracking and peeling off. The angle grinder and polish wheel is the way.

This is actually better than a sander. Thanks for the lesson!

You're removing metal and making it thinner.. No need just get some evapo-rust coat it all place some towels over the griddle top, leave it on for a few hours to overnight preferably where it's Sunny and hot.. you can re wet it with water to reactivate. Then just spray with water again to finish. And the rust comes right off.. lots easier and you won't weaken the might

Mine has been out in the weather for three years since I bought it. Have the blackstone model from Lowes and it hasn't rusted at all. When I bought it I lathered it in oil and ran that thing for an hour or so then cooked some fatty breakfast on it. Seasons it well and have only used water and clean rag to steam clean it.

Dang it! I was eating dinner and missed it live. You did a great job Papa

[timmym]

my granny used good ole brillo pad for hours

[NEJM]

Been looking for a quick easy way to get the rust off of mine thanks for that video.

[tonypatey]

Awesome Papa ! Papa does it again. I have a barrel off set smoker. It needs some work, and now I know what I’m going to do, thanks once again. Tony

[brandons]

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you for the great video!

[CookingwithKirby]

Well I hope to never see the day my griddle gets like that, but if it does, I will know how to fix it. Nice job Papa Texas!

[Flush.]

This dude is so cool and down to earth

[bigwadventures]

That’s what I use with my right angle grinder. I buy those at harbor freight and use my coupons to get them cheaper. They do wear out fast but are way more efficient for cleaning rusty metal. Thanks for sharing with us. BigW:-)

[BackyardGardening]

Well done Papa Texas. Thank you for sharing your experiences

[CruiserMac]

Great job in bringing that grill back from the brink !

[BBQPITDOG]

How cool is that! Slap about 5 pounds of bacon on that bad boy now PAPA!

This is right up my alley Papa T!! I've been (re)searching how to clean my flat top the best way. I don't have tons of rust, just a bunch of grease and I can't always get it all off! Grrrr. Anyway, great vid! Thanks
