The 4 Most Important Things New Griddle Owners Need to Know. 

New griddle owner? My ebook has everything you need to know. Seasoning, Cleaning, Common Mistakes, Temperature Charts and over 100 Recipes!! Grab a copy here: bit.ly/Griddle-Ebook

Literally the best guy to talk about this. Drink beer, do the bare minimum that produces premium results, and is a no bullshit guy. Subbed.

Dude, I know this video is a year old and you probably won’t see this but I just wanted to let you know what a fantastic video this was on grilling. Never been a grilling guy although I’m looking at getting a flat top and trying my hand at it, your explanations were fantastic and I love the snap shot you had of the temperature gradients that you use and what to cook on them..super helpful.

The intro said it all, an hour long meeting that could be summed up in a ten minute email. Hence why I try to drink beer as often as possible.

Cool video Johnny. Very informative for newbies. Hope you had a great Easter Sunday. GRIDDLE ON DUDE.

All new griddle owners need a ‘Griddle with Johnny’ crash course. I know it helped me for sure, thanks Johnny!

BEST tutorial on Blackstone on YT. Thanks

Your videos are awesome. I learn 2x as much from your 10 min videos than I have with anyone else's 20 min videos. Keep going, never stop.

Thank you, great information you have given, its appreciated!!

Thanks for your videos Johnny!!! They’ve been very helpful as a new blackstone griddle owner!

Just had my 4 burner Blackstone delivered and found your videos. Thanks so much for making things simple and easy to understand. Look forward to getting the e-book and to checking out all of your videos.

Hi Johnny, just saw your video and I thought it was very informative. Just subscribed and looking forward for more videos.

You rock! Thanks for the temp ratings! 🤠

This is excellent for new as well as intermediate griddle cooks. Thank You!

That was the best video yet for seasoning the griddle! Thank you!

Finally getting my first Blackstone grill here in a couple days. Loved your video on seasoning! Very entertaining and informative. Thanks for helping me get prepared!

I like the vibe, simple and concise instructions, and most importantly for me some humor

I’m 28 and my younger cousin surprised me with a black stone griddle for my birthday. I couldn’t have been more shocked because all I expected from the guy was a handshake. Well anyway your videos will really help me pay him back. And the “check your ego” attitude you have is wonderful. Need more people like you. Thanks and keep cookin!

Great video. Thanks for the advice.

Man, your videos are so simple and yet really informative on the important stuff. Been griddling for a while but mainly shooting from the hip. These videos are really helpful!

Found this channel and love the delivery and low key humor (and the information too). Ordered a griddle through a liquidation website, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that I see it before next Christmas.

As always very good information Johnny

What a great primer for newbs. Thank you.

Excellent.. thanks for sharing!👍😁👌

By far most enjoyable video I seen on prepping the griddle. Good work man

Great video’s. Lot’s of good info. Thanks

Concise and beneficial explanation. God bless you!

Entertaining and informative. You've sold me on the need for an infrared thermometer😊👍

Hi Johnny, awesome and funny videos, great content. Keep up the great work!

I have a steelmade oven top flat top bout to season and I had to sub after two of your vids. These are how youtube vids should be no bs, real straight to the point and very helpful Thanks brother! Cheers! 🍻

Your 15 recipes. Thanks. Had a griddle for two years. But was basic. Thanks for the tips

Just got my first Black Stone as an early Christmas present. I am so ready to get cooking on this thing. Thanks for all the tips!!

very helpful. Thank you

Great advice. Just bought a camp chef explorer stove for camping with griddles. Good to know about the proper temperatures and will definitely a infrared thermometer.

Got my first griddle last week! This is one of the best videos I’ve watched!! Thanks man!

Awesome johnny, just awesome thank you.

This video is jam up. Good info, good timing, good comedy. Fantastic

Great info Johnny. Hey folks, I highly recommend Johnny's E-Book. I printed it out and keep it in one of my tool drawers for quick reference.

Recently was gifted a blackstone 2 burner griddle. Your videos are an absolute blessing! Thanks for taking the time to show us how its done! I was definitely getting overwhelmed with all the accessories i thought i needed 😅

Great video man, thank you! 👍

Your a good young man for this.kudos

Man here making a fantastic informative video not beating around the bush, while drinking a beer and wearing a Buckeyes shirt. Easy sub all day!

just got a griddle and found you channel. so good.

Awesome thanks bro for the info

Great video! Just bought our first griddle and assembling tomorrow. My wife and I loved your sense of humor to keep it lively. Thanks for the info!

thanks for the info

Thank you for this, would not have thought of the IR thermometer.

Another good one. THANKS

I had never cooked on a flat top. ty for the guidance

Just got a griddle for Christmas… seasoning tomorrow. Love the channel…O-H

I've been dying to grab a good griddle for a while. Bit the bullet today and can't wait to get started. Thanks a ton for a great easy to understand video.

How good is this guy!!! Best tutorial & instructional video on RU-vid without doubt. No bull💩💩💩 No blarney or nonsense.Ive liked & subscribed. Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to do this. Really very much appreciated....From Manchester Uk across the pond.

Great vid!!

Great ideas. I love the videos. Oh yeah and drinking beer while cooking outside is a must..🍺Cheers.

great video thanks

Thanks for all you do to get new people into the griddling game! Great information to help people get started and not be overwhelmed.

I just got one for Father’s Day and I’m first timer on one of these

Outstanding channel, Johnny! I bought a griddle about a month ago. I like your channel because you explain the zones, and why and where to put your food to cook. Other channels are like, "Look what I/we cooked! We're the kings of the griddle!" You seem to actually like to griddle. I know that I really like griddling now that I have one. Keep cranking out the videos, as they are fun to watch and very informative.

I got the $30 lodge cast iron griddle for my birthday last week and I still used most of your videos to help! I seasoned it only once and I made some onion smash burgers.

Great video. And a fellow CBJ & Buckeye fan!

Just won my first griddle, being delivered today. Excellent video my friend. Not only fantastic information, but delivered in great fashion. Removes a ton a apprehensions built up while waiting for it. Buying your ebook as a show of appreciation for you posting. I’ll be giving this video a shout out and link on my channel as I do a video using my griddle for the first time at my off grid cabin.

Thanks for the tips and gald to see a

Super appreciate! This is gold. I'll buy yer book when I can:))

Good stuff. I also love the Buckeyes, grilling and Cbus IPA. Cheers from Canton 😅

I’ve been frustrated AF today (4th of July) getting my griddle ready to cook (haven’t used it in forever). Then you gave me the magic tip I was missing out on….beer. I wasn’t drinking enough beer. Thanks for the tip sir.

I really enjoy your videos. Your real 👍

Ik this is an old video. But it still taught me stuff I had questions about. It took so much convincing to get my wife to get me an infrared thermometer. But I have so many different ones. Mostly for smoking meat. Since I usually smoke to temperature and not time. I have an instant read I use constantly. But the infrared is a must for cooking on a griddle. Very greatful she got it for me. But again. Knocked it out of the park. I hope to buy your ebook soon. I already have the free on on my phone. Thanks for the awesome vid brother. ❤🎉😊

Great explanation of zones brother

Wow man I just picked up a griddle I'm a newbie at this but thanks to you and this video I feel everything is going to be alright 👍 and thanks for laying out what foods to cook at what Temps I'm definitely going to use that as a guide to how I'm going to grill if you happen to see this Thanks!!!!!

You're the best, thanks for the share about your passion. I like the "organic" side of griddling that the first thing you do is Christen it and make it look not new. It is now yours. Not too many things in the digital age take breaking in. To season I started with canola oil because I had about 4-5 tablespoons left and wanted to use that up. After 2 cycles with that, I started using bacon strips, one at a time - the best griddle barometer I know of. I swished the slice around with the heat full bore. The first slice of bacon would have been inedible unless you came out of the woods starved for a week. I kept cycling thru bacon slices until it didn't stick anymore and sizzled like it should. It took me about 5-6 slices to get to a point where the bacon strip wasn't coming out all mangled and kind of sooty. I have a 17" portable griddle as my 90% goto cooking apparatus. As I got near the point of it almost being seasoned, I started testing with eggs. Just like the bacon, the first one stuck really bad to the griddle, and after about 4 more sacrificial eggs, I threw a little butter down and the egg danced like it should. So my test looks for the first edible bacon or egg come off, time to eat.

awesome 👍 thank you!

Love your shirt go bucks!

Thank you for this. Just got my first blackstone and been watching videos. Temps are the one thing no one ever talks about in their videos. These were the exact things I was wondering about. Got a sub from me.

Thanks!

You are my spirit animal.

The color of the cooked side of that pan cake sold me.

Thank you.

Most people buy every gadget they can find at Walmart when they buy a griddle, You are right with essentials. I enjoy how yur videos are a decent length and still cover the topic completely. Have a good one.

I cooked in a restaurant for a few years, I don come back to our Channel for accuracy or tips usually. However you are spot on man and I’ve leaned some things I didn’t know. Your beer comments are so much like me it’s amusing, also I see your surroundings and realize your just a normal dude and I got to support that. Keep it up man great channel

I'm in mid michigan, if ever traveling thru I got brews for you haha. Buying the ebook now. Go Blue!!

Love you man, drink all day Love it! Don't forget the cigar brother

Glad I found you. I was on the fence with a blackstone or pit boss. The ceramic eased my anxiety on upkeep, but not on longevity. This video has empowered me to buy a Blackstone like griddle. Thx!!

I just assembled my 36-in Blackstone last night. I'm going to season mine this afternoon I just have to run to the store and grab some beer and remember the propane.thanks for the video I learned something

My son just gave me a black stone for Christmas. Found your channel. You are a good teacher. Calm voice.

Johnny I love your videos very informative but there is one thing you have overlooked over the years I worked at a restaurant for close to 11 years and we always used a grill block for a final cleanup and then re-oil please bring that subject up thank you also I love a lot of your recipes

I use an infrared thermometer inside too. I like any activity that involves beer btw.

Thank you so much for making this video. I just purchased a flat top and I haven’t used it yet but I wanted to be better equipped and none of these channels that spend all their time cooking on flat grills have a video to introduce you. Thank you again 🤝

We are going to Lowes to get a black stone griddle and accessories. Thanks for the e-book.💯

My 2 fav teams

As a first time griddle owner this is sound advice! Coming from a traditional BBQ I'd have been burning everything to a crisp!

Thank you so much for sharing all your expertise and experience. Your videos are awesome! Just got me a full griddle insert for my Weber gril and am learning a lot from your videos. As for seasoning my griddle before my first cook, do I need to oil and season the BOTTOM (underside) of the griddle too? Will the bottom rust since I won't be oiling it after each use?

BTY, I just bought your e-book…well worth the price.

Great video - and Go Bucks

First video I came across that talks about actually temps-for different cooks not just heat zones.

I'm gonna grab me up one these. Probably 2 burner cuz I'm single most nights. BBQ has limits. These blackstones do almost everything!
