FYI , I’m not being critical or judgmental ....I use one of those cleaning pads (orange) and wash out..... from Blackstone once in a while ( works great) and always use a white rag with water, til comes back white and clean. A couple light coats of Canola oil from Walmart on low heat and paper towel..... griddle stays perfect... I avoid that “build up “ in middle by using med and low heat most of time. Whenever I go high heat ! I have lots of problems occur. I have 2 Black Stones ..... a 22 “ and 13 year old 36 “....... I also owned a restaurant ( wings / burgers) and we always kept stainless griddle heat On med. Just something to think about. Love your Channel. Keep it up.
I like how you humbly admit that you hadn't been giving the Blackstone the attention that it needs. You are just an A#1 guy. I'm daydreaming of when I can get a Blackstone! Thank you! Kathi
Thank you. I really try and be as honest as possible. Hopefully you can get a Blackstone soon!
NICE JOB! I did see someone using the shop/bar towels. I did purchase a big pack the other day, washed them up and ready to try over the memorial day w/e!. LOVE your channel! Thx for all you are teaching me and others.
I know this is an old video, but I bought a 17 inch Blackstone a couple of weeks ago and I love it! Your videos are the best out there! I see the advantage of more than one burner so I have a 22 inch on the way. As a fellow NC resident....Keep the excellent videos coming!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you soooo much. My husband and myself love watching you
Just finished my first meal on the BlackStone and it was some “good groceries”. Thanks for all the info and videos. I knew you were the real deal when I saw Cheerwine in the vids. Thanks
Ha! Thanks Matt! The Cheerwine seals the deal everytime!
I have cleaned my griddle like you are doing many times until I watched Kent Rollins and his method. The hot water will for sure help lift the burned on mess but it also lifts the seasoning by way of steam. The better way I have learned is to have a wooden spatula with an edge on it. Heat up the grill and scrape it with the wooden spatula. After all the mess is removed, use a lent free cloth and remove all the burned on mess you just released. As soon as the griddle cools, coat it with a little oil. It is now ready for the next time. I also have used a metal scrapper like you have here but it too will lift the seasoning. Never use metal to clean your griddle or cast iron cookware. Give it a try, I think you will see what I am talking about. Chef Jerry
Great tip. I should probably do another video about how I clean.
Jerry Hubbard thanks for the tip. I order my blackstone grill can wait to cook on it. Watching many videos and how to season and clean that griddle. Glad I came across your comment and went and see Kent Rolling videos. I will season my griddle every time I used it. Thanks for sharing
Love your videos! I made the smash burgers for the first time last night the fam just loved them!! So much they want them again tonight... Thanks for all your great videos and ideas!
Love your vids Matt. Keep me coming bro!!
Awesome. Just got myself a camp stove + griddle, and this is great info. =) Subbed.
Nice! Thanks for the support my friend!
Hey man, love your videos! Question: what heat do you start at before you put the water down? And do you ever increase it?
Awesome and easy! I am so stuck in doing everything the way we did in the restaurant that I am making things more complicated than they have to be. We cleaned grill with grill cleaner, then water every night. After we would put vinegar on the grill to keep it from rusting. That process was no fun!
I'll add some vinegar to the water every now and again, but just water most times and paper towels.
We used carbonated water and then finished with pickle juice from the 5 gal buckets. The good ole days.
Great video bud. Question.. before I use mine. I wipe a few times with a wet paper towel and it always seems dirty. Even after several wipe downs. It looks clean to the eye but when I wipe theres always some residue on the white towel. Is that normal or do I keep wiping till clean. Sometimes I can see the little specks on food, pancakes etc.. please advise. Thanks huss
Getting ready to clean my griddle, thanks for the tips!
Pretty cool gadget . I bet it gets hot .. I ordered the ringer . Can’t wait to try it . Thanks ! I used your link
Hello did you have it on did you have the burners on when you threw the water on and when you clean it and dried it at what time do you turn off the burners and how high
Your videos are awesome. I'm doing my research before I purchase my first Blackstone. Your bologna club sandwich looked like the bomb. I need to try that.
Spam on the Blackstone is great. Try it. Mustard / Dukes Mayo , pepper, on toasted bread. Perfect lunch with a little Tomato 🍅 soup. Wow....
I love watching your videos. But I love my Blackstone more. I've had mine for about 2 weeks and I've used mine every day
Nice! I love my BS as well.
As a military brat I grew up in Germany and worked at a snack bar on base during high school. Those ladies I worked with always had me throw ice cubes on the griddle to clean it, seemed to work great. Love your video!
Nice tip! Thanks for the support!
That unique how do you use the ice? Just let it melt or move it around? I burn myself every time I do this LOL. So I got their gloves. The work great and don't soak up oil. th-cam.com/video/0oXKZslDjGs/w-d-xo.html
Hey Huss, What do you use on the front of your Blackstone, the outside for grease splatter? Just curious. Love the videos!
Thanks for showing us how to clean our new 36 inch Blackstone
Glad you enjoyed that Jake!
Thanks Hussy, love your videos. How often do you clean your griddle? I'm a new griddle owner (The Blackstone 36 inch, oh yea), I've be scraping and wiping down after each use. But how often to you water it down, clean it and re-season it?
I use water and a damp white bar towel after scrapping a couple of times til rag comes back still white. Then a paper towel and some Canola oil on low til stops smoking. I do that 2 times and I’m done in 4 min. Just enough time for my steak to rest and time for dinner. Try it ... Quick and easier than wiping out a pan. No soap....ever....just a damp rag and Canola oil. Done ✅
Well it's a good thing you did it the record button! Good Video...
May I suggest the Steve Raichlan Grill Gloves. Leather Gloves that go up almost to the elbow to help prevent getting burned or in this case steam burn.
Thank you so much! You a lifesaver ❤I also went to harbor freight an brought the magnet paper towel holder Thanks Again.. Happy Griddling
You're so welcome Jeanetta! Glad you found some good in the content. Have a blessed weekend.
Thank you for this,I can't wait to try my Blackstone Griddle :-) How long have you had yours? My griddle top don't look smooth like yours, maybe because it's new? A "BIG" thumbs up :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!
My blackstone has those same spots where it looks like it didn't take season. I've tried everything, they just won't fill in. Is that a spot in the steel you think? I clean mine the same way and it works great!
Just doesn't get as hot there and didn't "season" as well.
Matt your steak sauce was absolutely amazing!!
Glad you liked it!!
Hussy love your videos on cleaning a Blackstone I just use water and it works. When not using a griddle do you have a regular BBQ grill like a Weber or Char Broil?
I have a couple Big Green Eggs.
Goid job, hero couldn't have done it any better myself. Lol 👍🏻
Smart & Final sells grill cleaning stones that do a great job cleaning the grill -
that's for grills broskie, you dont want to use a stone on a griddle unless you are stripping and doing a complete re seasoning.
As a young man, I worked in a restaurant, and every night we cleaned both griddles with a tub of ice, ajax and brush, scrapper, and mesh pad. No build up could remain, but there was permanent staining. The next morning, the openers would give them alight coat of oil and away they would go!...
Yep. For stainless steel, you can certainly do that, but this is cold rolled steel, with seasoning. Have to treat it differently.
Late to the game.. but you're my go to for blackstone info
Agreed!
Thanks for the video. How do you like the table? Is it big enough to sit people around it
I don't recommend sitting people around it. IT does get hot.
@@thehungryhussey thank you for the reply. It can probably be use as a warming station 😎
Thank you so much for the video
You're welcome.
Another great video! I have learned a lot from your channel over the last year. Do you cook for a living?
No, I don't cook for a living. I have a 9-5 too.
I am new to your channel, what do you have built around the outside of your griddle. I saw you had a magnetic paper towel holder on it, is it cast iron plates?
Hello! That's a surround that Blackstone sells for the original model. It's just some metal shelves that attaches to the Blackstone.
@@thehungryhussey Thanks, I have the Sam's Members Mark Griddle, I don't know if they would work on that, but thanks for the reply.
I do think it would.
You can get a couple stainless tables to sit on each side to help with space if you have room for that?
Love your show were can I get that pick you use to flip steaks and cops? Thanks Ted

Just brought one now I hooked to you videos! Question, would it be ok to add vinegar to my water for cleaning with out messing up the grill?
I'll be honest, I wouldn't. Vinegar reacts to the metal and personally I wouldn't.
@@thehungryhussey ok thanks appreciate it!
HH do you ever use a pumice griddle stone?
I do. I have used it a time for two just to clean well.
how much of a problem is the grease splatter and grease dropping onto the ground around the Blackstone? I really want to get one of these, but not sure if my concrete patio can handle it!!n thanks!
I have a bbq mat underneath mine that helps. You’ll get occasional splatter and accidents though.
They do come with a drip tray that catches most if the grease.
An oldie but goodie.
Thank you Kirby!
Great video . One thing to think about before you start to cook heat your blackstone up wipe off that oil so you don't cook bug's dust that get stuck on BUG'S LIKE THAT OIL
Where can I find the chain you use to clean the grill?
Here you go my friend.
amzn.to/3tVShei
Lil water on warm grill with a charcoal brick will clean them stains off the grill and wipe off good and oil it down !!! So easy and looks great . I love watching you cook lol you got me on the April fool joke I was worried ☺
Lol.. Hope you got a good laugh buddy!
How often should a stone be used to clean the griddle? I use it normally after each use.... I may be stripping the seasoning off the griddle each time I clean it...
Don’t think you need to until you need to strip.
@@thehungryhussey thank you!
Welcome pal!
Hey hungry hussey what are the stains on the griddle? Awesome thou
The stains are likely in the corner?
Those light spots on the grilled is where he has lifted the seasoning using water and metal scraper.
I don’t need to clean it like that every time right ? Finally got my Blackstone. Will just a scraper be fine at times to clean it ?
Really depends on what you cooked. After breakfast and what not, I'll just scrape and wipe with paper towels. If'it's gunked on stuff, I'll clean like this.
i do not have a hard cover just a cloth like cover for my griddle will that help with the anti rusting? or just keep it lightly oiled?
Keep oiled and make sure you place something in the middle to tent the soft cover.
ILIKED VIDEO ON CLEANING THE GRILL WILL THE RUST GO AWAY THE MORE YOU USE IT THANKS BOB
Does the rust hurt anything? I’ve noticed when I cook something sometimes, bacon for example, the bacon grease has a rusty color. I didn’t save it to use later like I normally would b/c I wasn’t sure if “vitamin rust” would benefit me. Do you save yours? We DID eat the bacon & whatever else I was cooking & lived through it!
May I ask where did you get that chain cleaner? I could use that for my cast iron as well.
I think in the description is the link. It cleans CI very well and I also use it on casserole dishes too, to get that baked on crud off. Works like a charm.
The Hungry Hussey thank you👍 I just ordered it. AlsoThank you for all your great videos!
It's called chain mail, I think I got mine off Amazon but if you Google chain mail I am sure many other places sell them.
Okay I clean my griddle after each use. I noticed my towels are ver brown when I wipe it down. Is that a sing of just being dirty or what.
Just clean it another time or 2 and it will start to show you a clean rag ...
Give an update video if you’ve found a better method. Thanks again my friend 😁
Still pretty much the same.
Thanks for the information
You're welcome Tracy!
Ready for some “Good Groceries!”
This was an oldie!
Man that piece of steel is a veteran!
Ha!
At 3:35 you said you had some seasoning problems causing it to peel. I have the same issue in a couple of spots. I'm going sand my Blackstone down this weekend and apply a new seasoning...How do you keep it from peeling?
I don't do anything. Just contend with it. Ha
Nice 👍 ty
Thank you!
Secret ingredient: lime juice TRUST ME HUSSEY IT WORKS LIKE MAGIC
Old restaurant trick right there...
Try
club soda , works great.
How do you get the old seasoning off just got my black stone. cleaned it but don't think it was good enough from shipping oil. Any thoughts
Few ways. Angle grinder with paint and rust wheel. Drill with wire brush. Grill brick with elbow grease. Sandblasting.
Thanks. hopping not to go that far lol guess I am in for it now
Really doesn’t take really long to remove.
So will that method work on a Camp Chef or Blue Rhino? LOL. Good video HH...
Well, it depends. Gotta have the word Blackstone on it to work! Haha
Puts some man force on that my boy..
I'm giving it all she's got captain!
i recommend to use plastic, or wood, spatulas or scrapers! Not metal spatulas or scrapers! I found to treat it as cast iron> i don't use metal on cast iron neither. The seasonings is what protect it, and make it smooth and non stick> ITS LIKE TEFLON COATING don't use meal, it leaves scratches down into the metal surface
Interesting take! Obviously I use metal items on it.
@@thehungryhussey Honestly ~ Most do! But i hate to have to re season it all the time! look at the scratches down into the metal surface. That tells it all right there! Just like Teflon ~ when you resurface it, did you notice the black flakes? just like Teflon> that your protection
Do you or anyone have problems with the trough not dripping into the pan instead of the floor?
Oh yeah, it's a known issue with that model. I don't have this model any longer but there's a slide that you put on the side and that helps.
Good bro
Job
Thank you!
i can tell ya'll how to clean a electric grill, Easy! get it hot! and pour hot water on it, and wipe off Water break it up and floats on the grill > The tuff spots use a plastic spatula Should come rite off. Reason for plastic? so you don't scrape off the seasoning, and don't make scratches. Treat it like cast iron. Yes i lightly heat up the cast iron then put hot water on it. That what i do too cool > Then i dry it with heat, season it again with heat and a light coat of Olive oil, or can just dry it with heat, and put a light coat of olive oil on it cold too either way ALWAYS DRY IT WITH HEAT! then a light oil > i use olive oil
Great tips my friend.
Use water and tin foil to remove rust. Works great!
A different point of view certainly.
Looks like a steel cut glove we had at chipotle
Haha... Kinda similar.
Does yours ever warp when you clean it? I have the 22” and when I put water on it, it will do that but then go back to normal after a bit. Even with hot water. Tonight, though it did it when I was cutting up some cooked chicken. I’ve waiting on a response to a message to Blackstone too.
I've heard of some warping on the newer items, but not so much on the older ones like mine.
Does that chain scratch the seasoning off ?
No, it’s made for cast iron cleaning.
I’ve got similar seasoning problems on mine. It’s starting to flake some. How do you address that?
Matthew Hussey we’re in KY so same issue. We’ve left it uncovered too many times I️ think.
Don't use a scraper
John Paul Ramsay it's metal, just start over. I do use a lot of the spray, like Pam. I use the store brand. It comes in grapeseed oil and olive oil also.
maryghump absolutely use a scraper and water.. just like he’s doing
Do you use propane tanks or natural gas?
Propane
I have that same ring mail for cast iron. Indispensable!
They work so well!
To Poster: Sir I just bought a Blackstone Flattop Grill and seasoned it. When I'm done cleaning it will ever be clean to a white towel or a little brown due to seasoning?
Shouldn’t be too brown.
Terry Young the best way to clean it is to add boiling water to cool it down(while it’s been fully heated up) add the hot water until it slightly stops sizzling add restaurant grade degreaser or any bbq cleaner that has degreaser and scrub well for about a few minutes and keep adding degreaser until the whole flat top is soaking in the cleaner. Also it should be a soapy consistency if the degreaser sizzles too much and dries up then the griddle is too hot
I worked for the Waffle House years ago. God knows nobody gives a grill a better workout than a Waffle House cook on Friday and Saturday night. Every cook had to clean the grill at the end of their shift and even that wasn't enough. We used grill bricks which do a fantastic job but leave behind a bit of messy particles that you still have to rinse off well before you re-season it with oil.You can order them online and they last a long time. One trick we used if the grill got too gunky mid shift was we poured a big cup of Sprite on the grill and scraped it down. My guess is the citric acid and the carbonation combined was what made it work so good. It would get you through the rest of your shift lickety split. So try these two tricks and let me know if they work for you. One trick we used and I do not recommend it , is we put a big bowl of ice on the grill and scraped it down . It does work really well but it can crack your grill top in two, so don't do that. It is an expensive lesson if you happen to be unlucky and break your grill in half. If it broke a Waffle House commercial grade grill in half it could surely bust up a Blackstone right easy. I'm gonna find one of your gadgets and give it a try.
Have to be careful. Those tips are stainless steel and pretty thick. These are cold rolled steel.
, @@thehungryhussey I didn't know they were different so thanks for that heads up. I would not want to damage my new Blackstone. It's brand new and still in the box so I haven't harmed it .
my hubby uses a plain stainless steel thing and koshar salt as he read in directions he rubs a bit and it is so clean take off all the salt
Yep, salt can be used too, as it's an abrasive. Many ways to skin the cat!
Blackstone Cat recipe ?
Best thing you could do is throw blackstone's directions on how to clean it out the window, go to a professional restaurant store and get a grill cleaning brick... If you can't figure out how to use it look up a video on how to clean a professional grill.
Thanks for the advise, however you have to be careful here, this isn't the same material as used in restaurants. Most of that material is stainless steel, where this is cold rolled steel and has been seasoned. I have a brick but use it very lightly. Water really works the best when hot.
that chain mail is good for smashing hard boiled eggs through to make egg salad
It gets the job done but it all depends how much food you cook on the griddle and how hot the grill is when you are cleaning it. I use some regular vinager with water.
Yep, I do the same at times as you, as you said, it depends on the cook.
A DA sander will get those spots out. Then re-season it.
Thanks for the tip.
i wouldn't use power , clean it with sand paper, wet sand it seadon it, but its your gril/dill, thanks for the info
I know this is about cleaning, but can you cook wings on a griddle?
Yes sir you can! I'll get a link to you. I've never made them, but a friend of mine has.
hey matt can you get that wing link to me also thanks bro
Lemon water makes a huge difference.
🚨 YOU GOTTA USE SELTSA WATER IT WORKS BETTER THE REGULAR WATER THAT WHAT THEY USE IN RESTRAINTS 😀👍
Thanks for the tip.
get ya self a cleaning brick . its good for the blackstone too.
Do you need to heat the griddle back up after oil or cook off next time?
I just put the water down. Wipe it and dry it. Turn heat to finish drying it then apply oil and shut down. No burning off.

Hungry Hussey I love to watch your videos and love the ones you include your daughter. I know paper towels are a must with these Blackstone Griddles, but what kind of rags can you use as well? Hopefully cheap ones. Paper towels don't work to well when the surface is hot. Links will be helpful. Thanks in advance.
I use the shop towels from Harbor Freight..20 or so in a pack for like 8.99 or so..
3 years old, still using this method? Let me know!
Yeah, pretty much. I don’t use the chain mail every time though
Yea just got a 28” for my birthday on 2-11-21 and it has been used multiple times a day so, maintenance? Please help me!
@@thehungryhussey thanks 🙏
Video starts at 1:13 thank me later
HH what in the world how could you forget the record button on smash burgers are you crazy lol nevermind dont answer that love ya bud
I sick at life on many occasions!
You don't need a scraper or that other thing. That's why it's flaking. Use water , wipe it down with paper towel and oil it.
Okay, thanks for the comment.
maryghump I disagree, the chainmail doesn't scratch, or remove the seasoning.
@@keloggins93 I use the chainmail on my cast Iron skillets also. Its not going to hurt that Griddle unless you really crank down on it.
@@thehungryhussey That Chain mail is not going to hurt your griddle I use it on my cast iron frying pans and all and my two griddles.
Your wrong The chain mail is designed not to penetrate the surface only the residue on top of the surface.
I clean my Blackstone with my wife’s hands.
Lol!
I was thinking on commenting something like that but i was like nahhh they r gonna think im dumb lol
Lol. I will try that way. Must be very effective
I wonder how many people are gonna post the same video, doing the same thing...
You think all TH-cam videos are all organic and not done previously? 😂
It was pitch black when you made the Breakfast video, yikes!
Matthew Hussey No I mean the griddle was lol,my bad
It's supposed to be...the blacker the better. It's the seasoning.
Bro it need sand blasting
Not sure if it needs that really.
I hate cleaning this damn thing
It is a chore sometimes isn't it? Haha
Just through some cheap coarse salt on it. Use a rag or handful of paper towels to use the salt to scrub the surface. Once it is scrubbed, brush the salt off. Done.
The whole process takes 2 minutes.
I tube can't spell
I use WD40 on mine before every cook
You so slick.
🤣
@@danielalfaro5164 That was the funniest thing I've heard all year.....
You are joking......right????
