How To Season a New Blackstone Griddle | Blackstone Griddle 

I used THC oil.....now everybody here has red eyes and are super hungry.....does that happen if I use other oils to season ? I'm scared......but happy....at the same time.

Just got mines today for Father’s Day and can’t wait ti get back home to season it up like this.

TIP. make sure the grill surface is level first. Don’t assume it is. My first application of seasoning ran to the back straight into the catch pan like I was playing air hockey.

My wife and kids bought me a 36" Blackstone for Christmas and they don't even know it yet. Getting it delivered next week and will use this process to season the grill. Seems to be the consensus view on how to get it started right. Can't wait to start cooking!

I bought some of this when I picked up my Blackstone griddle yesterday. I had my doubts but I tried it and it worked amazing. I cooked fried rice for dinner last night and breakfast this morning. I was able to make eggs over medium with no problem whatsoever. It felt like a nonstick pan. I absolutely love my Blackstone griddle. My only regret is I didn’t buy one sooner.

I literally just got this griddle yesterday as a Valentine's Day present from my wife. I'm about to go season it. Thank you! I can't wait!

Great lesson. A nice little sample of the oil/grease included with the blackstone would have been nice.

Just bought this griddle the other day, it's the 22 inch black Stone and I bought the black Stone griddle seasoning and cast iron conditioner, which I'm fixing to season it here in just a few minutes. I had watched some videos on the seasoning of the griddle and noticed that most of them put the seasoning/ conditioner on theirs let it smoke and then after it stopped smoking they turned it off let it cool down and did it again. However, itcappears that this guy keeps seasoning it in between the smoke times & when it quits smoking he applies more of seasoning/conditioner, that's what I'm going to do. Happy cooking everyone!

Doing ours right now! I was a little afraid, but your instructions made is so easy.

I have viewed this video at least 4 times to help season my brand new Blackstone. Thanks for the help! Ready to cook!

I purchased the 28" for my honey over the weekend. Our 30th wedding anniversary is next week, and I want him to get comfortable cooking with it so we can have friends over! I'll be seasoning the griddle today. Thank you for the video!

Currently following these instructions as fiancé and I set up our new Blackstone!🎉🎉

Purchased my 28" Blackstone Griddle last weekend and excited to get started! I've probably watched this video 20 times now! Going to go season my grill now! :)

My Mom & Pop's won a 36" 4 burner Blackstone at our local VFW, and since they already have one, they gave this new one to me. I'm about to season this baby up and can't wait to try it out!

Just finished seasoning my BRAND SPANKIN' NEW 36" Culinary! Looks beautiful. So excited to start cooking 🍳

Just finished seasoning can’t wait to cook!

Thank you for the tutorial , I am going to season mine today. So excited to get going!

Thanks for the info guys! First Blackstone I’ve owned, seasoning it now! 👍🏼🍻

I just got mine assembled last night getting ready to head out to start the seasoning process. Never had a gas griddle but have wanted one for years. I'm looking forward to cooking on it for the first time tonight

Picked up my new 36 inch Air Fryer Combo on Friday and cooked on it each day since...it is amazing and I’m loving it so far!

Thanks for walking me through my first seasoning. ❤️

Just got seasoning my new grill following these steps and the seasoning oil. Worked great. Thank you

This guy is amazing we had no problem seasoning our grill Thank You so much

Best purchase I've made yet for overlanding and camping. Blackstone will not dissapoint ... in any way shape or form. Follow these instructions ... you cant go wrong. Super video guys ...

Will be doing this on Thursday. Just picked up a 36inch. Cheers to the Blackstone Family

I did this today. My advice is to wear a long sleeve shirt and a glove. I had a little oil splatter on my hand and caused a pretty painful burn.

Perfect video for someone new to the griddle. 🙌🙏💪

So excited. Just got my new Blackstone. Thank you for the tutorial. ❤️🥩🥓🍗❤

I just received mine today. I can’t wait to go home and put it together.

The protein fat thingy you said explains the issue I had with my 1st gen griddle. Thank you for the tip.

Got our Blackstone together and got the seasoning as recommended. I am going in. Thanks

Got a 17 inch griddle for my birthday! Cannot wait to use it 👏👏

Thank you BLACKSTONE!! This channel is the best for helping me plan out my next AWESOME meal on my griddle!!

I just got a tabletop one from my wife and bought the seasoning and the adaptor and seasoned it 4x. I’m madd excited to use it, thank you for the tip and video 🙌🏿👏🏿👏🏿🔥🔥🔥.

Purchased the 30” today from Lowes. Putting it together tomorrow and then seasoning it! Excited!

Okay, I'm HOOKED. Seasoned it, and made incredible cheesesteaks. THANK YOU!

Currently seasoning mine; getting ready for 4th of July cookout!

Had the 28” / air fryer combo delivered this morning. Seasoning this afternoon with the Blackstone seasoning. Thanks for the video!

Just bought 1 the 4 burner. I can't wait till I season it And cook on it love you guys.

Watching again. Going to get my propane tank and will watch again before seasoning my griddle today. Can’t wait!!!

Good stuff. I'm not using paper towels anymore though. Use something lint free to spread the oil. Paper tower leaves little fibers as it breaks down. Maybe a bandana or something.

Seasoning my 28" grill for the first time. The steps laid out in this video are epic! Thank you for taking the time to teach first timers. Now to decide what to grill!

Just got mine for Father's Day,about to do this right now after watching this video!! Thanks for the heads up.

Bought myself the 28 inch griddle and it’s my first time using one!

Just got my first Blackstone last night . Super easy to put together. I have the 4 burner with Air Fryer. Can’t wait to cook on it. Thanks.

Received my new 28" Blackstone today and be seasoning it tomorrow. Great informational video on seasoning. Thank you.

Got this as a mother's day gift. Thank you for the video! Cant wait to crank this baby up!! 🤘🏾

Hi just bought my first griddle and getting it ready thanks awsome video

Just got mine put together and headed to pick up the seasoning now! How long do I need to wait after my last layer, before I can cook on it

I just purchased a Blackstone 22” Adventure Ready kit for our 5th wheel. After washing and thoroughly rinsing the griddle I spent 4 hours applying thin layer after thin layer of avocado oil to all surfaces. Allowing each layer to burn in and stop smoking. I probably put 15-20 layers of oil on it. It is completely black and slick as a babies butt. I love cooking on it, absolutely nothing sticks to it. It’s the perfect size for the 5th wheel.

Got my first BlackStone for Father’s Day! Seasoning today and then smash burgers are on the menu! Thanks for the video🍻

Finally gonna use mine today for tacos on requestof my sons 18th bday.. wife and kids bought me one for 2022 fathers day and it's been in my living room since. Lol.. I think I'm ready!!! Thanks for seasoning tips!

Love the science!

"Do not use bacon fat." Funny because as I was buying my grill today, one man told me to use a pound of bacon. I thought that anything that starts with a pound of bacon can't be wrong. Glad I watched this first.

Son buy me 36" for Christmas...seasoning it right now. Love tha video very helpful...can wait to use it for tha first time

I have suffered long enough without a BlackStone..Going to pick up a 36" this morning..Thanks for the Video

Really felt like you were talking directly to me.

I got my first Blackstone as a Christmas present, I followed this video for seasoning, I've cooke on it several times, the first time I cooked on it not anything stuck on it. I clean it it and season it after each use. I love my Blackstone. I cook on it right now everything weather permits. So I know I'll be cooking on it more if not every night. I wouldn't get rid of it for anything unless it was to break and I would be replacing it with another Blackstone !

Just used this for my fist seasoning and about to cook a big ass breakfast on this thing now. Thanks!

Guys thanks so much for sharing!!! Just got mine and will start tomorrow morning with this ritual before lunch time!!

I used pork lard to season, it worked great! Just the lard though, no sodium as well as no nitrates in it. If I would’ve known about the blackstone seasoning I definitely would’ve used that!

Oh hell yeah!!! Spring is here and I’m taking the cover off the griddle. Great refresh video. I’m up to my eyes in juicy canola oil so I’ll be using that to re-season. Get some!

Thank you!! I’m ready to go now with my brand new Blackstone!!

Thank you for showing how to season my grill. New to flat grilling….😊👍🏽🎉

Just got mine put together today. Hitting Walmart up and getting this seasoning stuff in the morning and going to do this when I get home!

I just picked up my first black stone can’t wait to use it. Would you use the same process with flaxseed oil?

Just hooked mine up today! Straight up to the house (natural gas)... Seasoning it right now! I'm excited to try this thing...

I use flax seed oil. It gives such a nice finish to cast iron grills and pans.

Great tutorial and amazing product. Just purchased mine and seasoning as we speak. Getting a perfect color and can't wait to cook on it. I have the 36" with the extra shelves. There's always a (but...) I followed instructions to a T and started my first scoop with BS seasoning. I put it in the middle (Hottest spot) and that spot is colored and seasoned different from the rest of the griddle. Now, it shouldn't make a difference. Though, if I had to do it all over again, I'd start in the middle but at the front where it was not the main hot spot of the griddle. It should cook just fine though. After buying this amazing grill, I don't think I will cook inside ever again...

For those who had the grill turn chalk white over the burners, read on. The first 2 applications went fine with high heat, then over the burners it started turning white, and by the 5th application, I decided to change tactics. I read somewhere in comments on a blog, that someone heard it should be 3/4 heat, but no one answered him. I also wondered when would you ever cook on high heat? So I changed to 3/4 heat and it started to brown again, and everywhere else was still smoking/burning off the oil, so it didn't matter. I then changed to a tick over 1/2 heat, applied 5 more applications, and it is all black now except the far corners where the lid would attach, but it will darken as I use the grill. Remember, you are only "wetting" the grill surface, there should be no puddling. Hope this helps. Btw, I have a 17 inch.

Great job explaining how to do it for the first time, can’t wait to grill now. 👍😁

i used crisbee cast iron seasoning worked awesome as well!

I have a question. With my cast iron pans I always coat the whole pan the bottom too (in the oven). I have read you should season the bottom of a brand new griddle too (rust prevention). Any thoughts on this or how to do this. The griddle is too large to put in a home oven. Would you flip the fiddle over and repeat the seasoning on the bottom the same as the top?

Just bought mine today. Can't wait to get cooking on it.

Just set up mine today. Gonna go buy that seasoning and put it to use tomorrow

I used cold pressed flaxseed oil. Worked great

I use expensive flax seed oil. Works amazing for me.

I'm so glad I got my hubby this for Father's day. I set it up for him and got it all ready before he got home from work and he was so happy and excited! We seasoned it and made some delicious burgers. I don't think we'll ever cook inside again. 😂

I just bought 2 of the 36 inch blackstone grills. I can't wait for the weather to break, so I can do some serious cooking !!

Just seasoned my grill for the first time. I was super intimidated. It was much easier then I thought. I would advise that you have everything ready to go for each time. I put on 4 layers. I’m excited to try cooking on it tomorrow!

Just got my new black stone for Christmas, about to use these steps to season it for the first time!! Thanks for the info!

I'm amazed the guy with sweet beard and Blackstone shirt recommended the Blackstone seasoning paste!! Genuine!

Thank you! Just assembled my Blackstone and ready to season!

Very informative! Thanks for the easy to follow instructions. Especially the NO bacon. Had someone say bacon was one of the best things to cook the 1st time.

Quick question how often would you guys recommend re-seasoning griddle top? Just want to know for future reference. I seasoned it last night for the first time but want to have an idea of how often to re-season. TIA

Hi I'm a new Blackstone griddle owner! Besides the first time, how often do you season the griddle

I have a Blackstone grill it is wonderful use it a lot.

Just got the 36" and I'm stoked ❤

Hello, I just got a new Blackstone. Do I have to do this every time I cook on the griddle or just the very first time? I seasoned my griddle for the first time like the video shows. Then I cleaned it based on what all the videos on the internet teach you. When I use the griddle for the second time, do I have to do this again or is the oil I applied after cleaning last time enough? Please advise! I want to be doing the correct thing to not ruin my new griddle. Thank you!

Cooking is my passion. My wife got me a new black stone griddle as a Christmas gift and I currently feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas Day!!

I just got a new one. My wife wont a 36" griddle in a raffle. Once the weather gets a little nicer I'm gonna start using it. Thanks for the great info.

I love that you brought science to seasoning. I argue so much with older people about what it actually is. 😂

My love and support to u my man

My 28" griddle wouldn't get hot enough to season all the way to the edges so I used a blow torch to heat the edges until the oil would smoke off and leave a nice black finish! Point the torch slightly under the sides and aim up, slowly working around the whole griddle to get an even finish and properly protect the edges. Flaxseed oil is supposedly the best type of oil to build up the hardest polymer chain finish.

Thanks just purchased one and needed this helped a lot!

Just bought one and assembled now seasoning

Seasoning mine tonight and making cheese steak sandwiches tomorrow! Can't wait!

Hey my friend, do you keep the griddle on between the seasonings or do you turn it back on when you do the next seasoning?

Great video, new black stone owner. Used to be a cook and miss cooking on them. Perfect video.

We're following step by step, thank you!!
