Did you order recently? I've looked for the last month and nothing .

What do y'all do to keep it clean? Mine keeps getting rusty and doesn't have that slick shiny seasoning.

you need to google 'seasoning your blackstone' or something similar.

I followed the basic steps they gave - ran it on high heat for a while to burn off the oil they applied when they boxed it up.

After that, I cooked a package of bacon. It's been in great shape every since.

After every cook, I'll scrape, then wipe it down with oil, put the top on, and leave it until next time.

Man I can't find the nat gas conversion kit anywhere....

In July, IIRC.

Yeah, doesn't look like they currently have the kit for the larger griddles.

Get those Aggie pork chops ready.

TexAgs is always watching!

As a matter of fact, I'll be with the Aggie Chop crew today from 2-7. Just curious, that was back in 2017...did you know you were talking to FIDO?

Nope - I only know about it because you mentioned it on the GB I believe. I never made it through the pork chop line myself that year.

You using a pizza peel to flip all those things or what? I'd go crazy with tongs!

Man I got absolutely plastered selling those things one year at wurstfest. Coolers of beer in the back of the booth kept flowing.

We're just finishing up having an outdoor kitchen built, and our builder highly encouraged us to get a griddle installed (went with a Blaze 30" to match our grill).

I've never had a griddle (other than a table top Presto) - any suggestions for getting it seasoned? I just ordered a griddle tool kit from Amazon (couple of spatulas and a scraper), any other must have tools?

My family is pretty fired up for some fried rice and breakfast tacos! I appreciate any tips and tricks, thanks in advance!

i just put one in our house and have used it a handful of times. as far as seasoning, i think they just recommend heating it up for about 30 minutes to burn the factory stuff off. then a light coat of oil to keep it from rusting. pretty easy. having high smoke point oil in a squeeze bottle is key. just shoot a little on right before you put the food down and you should be good to go. i did cook a package of bacon on it right out of the gate...partially to help season and partially because i like bacon. a lot.

The Blaze has a Stainless cooking surface as opposed to the Carbon steel surface of the Blackstone. There should be no need to season it

Got this for my birthday last week!!! Super excited to get it running as soon as I have my house unpacked.

I have the blaze 30" griddle as well and Fido is right. No need to season. I actually scour mine with a griddle cleaning stone after each use.

Order this too from amazon. It's indispensable.

Nice. All accessories purchased.

At the risk of sounding completely ignorant - is there anything special I need to do to cook on a stainless griddle? Or just use high smoke point oil (avocado?) and go?

oil and go. be sure to give it plenty of time to come up to temp. i got one of those thermal guns to use a few times so i could check the surface temp since knobs are low/high rather than temperature graduations.

IIRC - avocado is pretty pricey

I use an oil blend that is advertised as high temp. I think it's a combo of peanut and canola. Works fine.

grapeseed is my go to


Still can't find that dang NG conversion kit. May just buy component pieces.

Avocado oil is pretty cheap at Aldi. H-E-B also has an avocado oil spray that's legit.

I bought these presses for my flat top griddle and have really liked them.

If you come back next year on the first Sunday or Wednesday, ask for an Animal Bowl. We get a couple of really thick chops per hundred that just don't finish by the time I need the grill cleaned to get going on a new batch. I'll hold them separately and when I get a free second I'll chunk those up and re-grill them in Mustard ala In-n-Out. I throw them in a bowl and set them out for the volunteers to snack on. Everyone loves them. Another trick is to order a Freaky Wurst Taco, dunked. I'll take a Jalapeno Wurst taco and dunk it in the Chop sauce. Then I'll throw it on the grill for a few seconds per side to dry it out just a tad. Turns out amazing.

Not some secret menu that we're coming up with btw, if I'm not cooking, nobody will know wtf you're talking about.

I am happy..........Happy for you!

Seasoning tip: Crank that bad boy all the way up. Use Crisco and apply sparingly with a shop towel or other lint free towel. When the smoke dies down repeat again and again until you have a nice patina. I used Peanut Oil and too much of it per application seasoning my first one. That lead to some uneven surfaces and not great coloration.
