r/blackstone

Cooked, cleaned and reapplied oil. Doesn’t look right to me. Thoughts?

2 year old 2 burner Adventure Series. Rock solid and a dream to cook on.

This is what my blackstone looks like after winter, getting ready to do a first cook of the year. What should I do to season it again?

This was after my first use.

I just set up my Blackstone 28" XL gas powered grill today. It has the omnivore grill plate and says it comes pre-seasoned. However, there was a huge poster on the griddle surface when I unboxed it and it appears to have rubbed off patches of season (see pic). As of now, all I have done is hosed down the griddle plate with water, per the instruction manual, and dried it off with paper towels.

My question is, based off of the picture, is it recommended that I re-season the griddle? I do have the Blackstone brand seasoning/conditioner. But if that's not necessary, I'd like to get straight to cooking. I'm really just worried about ruining my new grill right from the start. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Happy Fourth Y’all

I just got this blackstone from my buddy who didn’t use it anymore. I’ve always wanted one so he said “get it off my porch”.

I cook nearly exclusively with cast iron, so I understand the process of seasoning and the purpose behind it. What

What I DONT understand is getting the seasoning to turn around the edges of the griddle top. Does this come with time or can I do something intentional to ensure that my top matches all around?

After waiting and waiting and waiting some more for my black garlic to finish, I can finally enjoy it 😂

Today on "Will it Blackstone" Black Garlic Honey Chicken Sandwich & some random stuff because they were out of pizza rolls 😆

After the black garlic was done I made confit and saved the extra oil. Mix some of both with honey, mirin, rice vinegar, tamari, & sesame seeds then marinate the chicken for a few hours before cooking. Bacon and onions always makes sandwiches better, so I tossed the onions in some red pepper flakes for a little kick 🤣

I also had to meal prep my dogs and make some veggies for my girl to go with her seafood I'm allergic to 😅

I just did a reseason but it keeps flaking off, I’ve looked at tons of videos put the oil than wipe it off like there isn’t any, let it smoke and repeat

Cooked up some sausage, spinach, onions and peppers on the blackstone. Combined that with quinoa, feta, kalamala olives and sun-dried tomatoes. Topped with sriracha.

Mild Italian sausage butterflied, red, yellow, and orange peppers, celery, onion, and mushrooms, with cheese and seasoning. It was served on a bed of rice.

Just bought the 22 on the go griddle. DSG website shows the front of the grill looking different from what was in the store. The box does say date code: 1/26. Just want to make sure I got the newest model.

Is this what I want for first seasoning? I used avocado oil and did about 8 times.

I’m new to Blackstones and was gifted one a few months ago. The griddle was fairly rusty, but I spent several hours scraping it and using griddle stones on it. I’ve cooked on it a couple times in the past few months, and I always season it with Blackstone conditioner/seasoning afterwards. It looks like this currently. Is it safe to use in this state? What did I do wrong that caused rust to come back? I always keep a cover on it as well as a silicon griddle topper

Not shown: 🥚 It all turned out pretty tasty! (Except for the sausage patties-HEB put some strange maple flavor in them and it was like eating chemicals)

There are used Blackstones in my area for really cheap, and my wife will kill me if I buy yet another grill. Still, I really want a griddle, so I've been tempted to grab one that's been neglected and try and restore it. Are griddles like this worth restoring, or should I just consider splurging on a new one? (Sorry, I know griddle restoration is probably a really common topic here.)
