I don’t have a Blackstone or any other flat top griddle. I do have a discada made of carbon steel, as well as other carbon steel and cast iron cookware. I can’t imagine that seasoning that griddle would be any different than seasoning other carbon steel and cast iron cookware. That 28” looks like a good size. If I ever did get one that would likely be the size I get. I enjoyed the video.
I'm no expert, but. I'm gonna say, Yep, you did that absolutely spot-on perfectly correctly. I know this because, even though I don't actually own a Balckstone, I'm reminded of a video we watched a few years ago where this, uh, clueless person did just about everything wrong. His Blackstone looked to me like it didn't last very long at all. He did, however, provide many hours of intense laughter (most of his videos did, and not in a complimentary way). Can't wait for your maiden voyage with the Blackstone. I'll be watching it and reminding Mrs. SG what a great investment a new toy for ol' Mr SG guy would be!
THIS IS A SIGN. I've been researching flattops and of course, you post a video review of one....I am the only Sal left without one...I gotta remedy this, lol! this is the perfect size for me too.
Sal, I thought I lost a few days, was thinking it was Friday!🤣 treat it like a cast-iron pan, you'll have no issues 👍 looking forward to those griddle cooks! See ya Friday brother! Have a great one, stay safe!👍👊🍺🍻🤘
I loved mine when I first got it, cooked in it maybe 4 times? Then it sat for a while....long while lol. It had a card lid cover and a canvas cover top and it still got super rusty 🙄. needless to say this is what I'll be doing this weekend
Thank you very much for educating me how to do it right I just got my Blackstone griddle and I'm very excited to use it once again thank you for the learning education
Very nice new griddle you got there, Sal. No worries, you seasoned that perfectly, and you looked like you knew what you were doing. Yeah.....Sparkle and Viva paper towels were happy for your new grill today! Look forward to many good foods coming off that baby! A big step-change from grilling and barbecuing, ey? What's your first plan for cooking? My two cents request, if I may: Big diameter, fat ass (85/15 Beef) hefty hamburgers with grilled onions (sweet yellows, please) and thick slices of tomato with salt on them. Nuthin' else 'cept a bit of yellow mustard (Koops, please) a smidge of ketchup and a hearty bun without those stupid sesame seeds. Rock On, Brother!
I see Blackstone sells 2 different kinds of seasoning. The other one has a black and orange label. The one you used,can it be used on any Blackstone griddle? I just purchased a 36 inch
The 28 inch model does not have a battery. The larger ones with the seperate button have a AA battery in the button. The 28 inch has a piezo ignitor, just turn and click. If it's not working check the distance between the ignitor wire and the burner bar. Hope that helps!
And if its hot, use tongs with the cloth. The grill rag is like the grill, gets better with age. When it gets bad just toss it and get another. Walmart sells cheap white facecloths which are perfect for the job :)
This was the most entertaining tutorial video! Seasoning mine tonight!
Awesome! Thank you!
*Oh it's on now! fire on the stone! Love it!* Rock on Sal so excited!
Oh yeah!
No beer, no bacon, no problem! Your new toy looks awesome! Can't wait to see you get some shrimp dancing on that baby!
Next Friday! Rock On Big Rob!
Good score on the new griddle RootBoy.
Going to be some fine eats sizzling on the hot steel!

Thanks Big Lew! I am loving this thing!
What a magnificent looking grill and how exciting I can't wait to see you cooking up a storm on this one Sal!!!!!!!!
You and me both! Thanks Patrick!

Show her my Friday video and you will be grilling on Saturday! Thanks Big Dan!
@@rootboycooks Good idea!!!
I’ve seen people torch the side and all around the griddle to get an even black surface
THIS IS A SIGN. I've been researching flattops and of course, you post a video review of one....I am the only Sal left without one...I gotta remedy this, lol! this is the perfect size for me too.
You NEED this Sal! Thanks for watching!
Thanks I just bought me one it's a 28 inc. Going to season mine next week i will let you how it went....
Rock on!🤘
That is an awesome grill. Can't wait to get mine. Can't wait for your grilling expertise on that grill.
You and me both!
Now that is a cool looking cookingtool!
Congratulations!
I love it! Thanks Kjetil!
Whoohoo!!! Congratulations! Looks good to me Sal! Ya just need to level it a bit. Can't wait to see your cooks!!! ROCK ON 🤘 🍻 👍
It is already getting better, I have done 3 cooks on it. Next week I post my first cooking video! Gonna be good! Thanks Kevin!
guys I am feeling left out. I dont have room for this but NOW i gotta get one. I don't want to be known as the flattop-less Sal on youtube 😰 LOL
@@SJCOOKS Hahahaha Flattop-less Sal! Yes Sal, you definitely need one! Although that cast iron griddle you have for your kettle sure does the trick!
Sal, I thought I lost a few days, was thinking it was Friday!🤣 treat it like a cast-iron pan, you'll have no issues 👍 looking forward to those griddle cooks! See ya Friday brother! Have a great one, stay safe!👍👊🍺🍻🤘
Deal! Thanks Craig!
the cheapest version of crisco is what I use on my cast iron, and my carbon steel pans and my discado or cowboy wok
I bought that Blackstone stuff for the first seasoning but from now on I will be using whatever comes to hand. Thanks!
I loved mine when I first got it, cooked in it maybe 4 times? Then it sat for a while....long while lol. It had a card lid cover and a canvas cover top and it still got super rusty 🙄. needless to say this is what I'll be doing this weekend
I love it! I have had it for 1 year and i am about to do a one year review! Thanks!
Oh yea! Got to love the flat griddle cooks!
Thank you very much for educating me how to do it right I just got my Blackstone griddle and I'm very excited to use it once again thank you for the learning education
Our pleasure!
How often do you season your Black Stone I got the 28inch
For my 30 year anniversary gift from my Company
I only did the initial seasoning and in April I will have had it one year. I plan to re season it then. Cheers!
To get that black coating all over,,,use a propane torch to heat those areas that aren't turning black! It works!
Thanks for the tip!
Looks good you’re going to have fun with that.👍
Oh yeah! Thanks!
Congratulations! MY BROTHER
Going to rock it down brother!
Did you ever figure out how to get the corners and bottom?? I cant get mine either and Ive been trying for days.
You can take the griddle off and turn it around but don't bother, and after a while it all turns black!
Torch
Very nice new griddle you got there, Sal. No worries, you seasoned that perfectly, and you looked like you knew what you were doing.

It's a whole new world John! Next week my first cook! Not a burrger but it won't be long this thing is crying for smashburgers!
Sesame seeds rock!!!!
I see Blackstone sells 2 different kinds of seasoning. The other one has a black and orange label. The one you used,can it be used on any Blackstone griddle? I just purchased a 36 inch
At the time they only had the one I got. You don't have to use their stuff, i understand flax seed oil is good as well as canola oil. Rock On!
When you clean it with soapy water do rinse it off with plan water?
The first time you clean it with soapy water, after that it's been seasoned NO SOAP!
How do you get it to turn on? Nobody has made a single video showing how to turn on a blackstone without an ignition button.
When you turn the knob on it has a "Click" sound that triggers the igniter. Kind of crappy,mine stopped working so now I use a BBQ lighter.
You seriously posted this question instead of just using a lighter?
While your waiting out the ten minutes between coats crack open a cold beer to christen your new flat top grill.
Sounds Like a Plan!
Thank you for taking the time to create this video! You look like a pro even though it's your first time.
I appreciate that! Thanks!
Does it need to be sanded.. seen other videos
no absoloutly not. Just do what I did in the video! Rock On!
Rootboy, you rock! Happy early birthday fat boy!
Thank you sweetheart!
Is this cast iron or carbon steel?
Carbon steel. And it works great!
@@rootboycooks thank you
Where does the battery go that themanuel says
The 28 inch model does not have a battery. The larger ones with the seperate button have a AA battery in the button. The 28 inch has a piezo ignitor, just turn and click. If it's not working check the distance between the ignitor wire and the burner bar. Hope that helps!
I found out one tablespoon of bs seasoning was plenty to cover the whole grill. You don’t want puddles on the BS.
Yeah i over did it the first time!
Use one table spoon not two 😮😮😮
Told you I was a noob!
Has to level
Mine is a bit more leveled than it was when I first got it, but I don't think it will ever be perfect.
80% of these seasoning videos are just ads for Blackstone. Sad…
This was my first time, I used too much conditioner, but I learned something, and now I love my Blackstone!
Actually that’s more than two tablespoons.
I know better now, it was way too much.my first time!
Too much grease. Only 1 tablespoon
I know better now!
You are using way to much conditioner, 2 tablespoons is plenty for a 36" griddle.
I was a noob! I know better now!
You still great@@rootboycooks
Get yourself a clean cloth like a white towel and keep using that. I have one I keep in a ziploc and reuse it over and over on my iron pans
Good advice! Thank you!
And if its hot, use tongs with the cloth. The grill rag is like the grill, gets better with age. When it gets bad just toss it and get another. Walmart sells cheap white facecloths which are perfect for the job :)
I accually got some dishrags at Walmart, but I am hooked on paper towels.
