How to Re-Season a Flat Top Grill (Camp Chef and Blackstone Griddle Seasoning)

Learn how to re-season a flat top grill, what seasoning oil to use on your griddle, and when you should season your Blackstone or Camp Chef griddle in this how-to video.

No need to strip down your flat top and build up the seasoning from scratch... instead it's all about flat top grill seasoning maintenance. I walk you through 4 different times/cooks that you may need to season your flat top grill. Plus, I tell you my favorite oil to use when seasoning and why. And then I show you HOW to do it...

So many people simply apply a thin layer of oil to their flat top grill after cleaning it, and then leave it at that... but that's not actually seasoning the griddle. They're missing one crucial step... find out what that last step is in this video.

This is a must subscribe channel for newbies and pros alike. Invaluable information. I started watching this channel in preparation of buying a griddle. This channel has been an invaluable resource. Did I mention how invaluable this channel has been? Let me add indispensable.

I now have added a camp chef ftg 600 to my arsenal of smokers, grills, sous vide, and sous vide. Great job on the instructional videos. Cant wait to use mine this week after I season it. Thanks for not having annoying music in the background and being very clear in what you are saying. Like the slips and made up words...just like I talk. Thanks for your service too.

That was a great video, we have had our 17 inch blackstone for a couple weeks now. I love cooking on the thing and all of your information has been very helpful. Thanks so much for your knowledge and your service to our great country! Keep up the good work and your wife does a great job with the camera, awesome team!!!

"I hope I learned you somethin' today." Sounds right to me 😂

[SuperDagbo]

You do a great job teaching thank you so very much. Thank you for your service in the Navy.

As a new flat top griddle owner this is exactly the video I was looking for. I was losing my first seasoning in spots after cooking a few times and wasn't sure what to do. After searching through videos showing rusty griddles or stripping off the seasoning completely I finally came to your video and you taught me exactly what to do in simple straight forward terms. Thank you.

[AbransWorkshop]

Your the man i just restored my rusted out members mark and never really seasoned it when I got it . Seasoned it 10 times and wow I really notice the difference

[BigDave]

I enjoy these videos. Very informative. Just an FYI, traditionally, enchilada sauce doesn’t have tomato 🍅 in it. Sometimes a sprinkle of sugar. And we all know sugar will caramelize and wreak havoc. 🙂👍🏾. Thank you for the videos.

[williamwhite]

Just got my flat top grill. Not a Blackstone but a Nexgrill. Just finished my first seasoning. Did a total of 5. Wish I would have seen your vid first. So many different ways to do it. I’ve subscribed and now I won’t miss any of ur vids

[horselover]

Thank you for this. I need to reseason once the rain moves out of the area!

[TomHamilton-kbth]

My new Weber has bronzing from scraping to hard, a marinade baked itself on. Now I know I didn’t wreck it. Thank you, I’m breathing again. I’m having a blast on this griddle. I subscribed.

[haphartmann]

I recently bought a Camp Chef Sidekick and flat top acessory to go with my smoker. I found your YouTube channel while searching for how to take care of your cast iron flat top.You do a great job of clearly explaining and demonstrating on all your video's. Keep up the great info video's. Thanks.

[olddawgdreaming]

Thanks for the explanation Neil, your honesty is appreciated. Keep up the good videos. Fred.

[curtlukes]

Great video and explanation of the process! Thank you!!

[jeffreylovell]

I love this guy!! My Blackstone is incredible and I do want to keep it in good shape. Great advice, thanks so much!!

[johnmccaffery]

LOL, I think you articulate your thoughts great- especially while cooking, and that you throw in those funky words once in a while to keep us honest listeners, Ha ha ha. I had to watch this one three times including the other one you put out as I just got my flat top last night and I’m seasoning it up but my egg stuck so I’m not doing something right or I don’t have it seasoned enough will be working on this as I move forward thanks again for the good work!

[Joyful-]

Watch your videos all the time and have learned so much. Lift you top off the burners and see if the perforated plate has broken off the bottom of the top. Mine did so I just took it out. You can also use the two bolts to adjust the top and get rid of some of the rocking.

[dadlovestofish]

Nice job explaining. What you said is exactly what I've been up against as I learn this unicorn of a grill that I love cooking on! It's becoming my favorite amongst the 3 grills I own. Propane, Smoker and now my griddle. Thanks for your video!

[frankmarullo]

Good video Neil, , you know everyone on you tube has a different way how to preseason or just season a new grill . I feel that I learn more from you, because you EXPLAIN things much more in depth then most other videos I have seen. I know how to season my griddle but can always learn something New .thank you Frank from montana.

[rcpnt]

This video taught me more than any other video out there. Thanks!
