Hi Johnny. I'm in Canada and when I try to purchase it, it keeps saying something wrong with the address and doesn't let me purchase it. Since it's an e-book why would it matter about my address. Can you clarify?
Thanks Johnny. I ended up using Apple pay and it worked. Looks great. We got snow here in Canada on April 19 and with a new grill waiting to be used I'm super anxious. I'll check out your book and be ready when I can hit the griddle.
@@1962pgb hey just saw this. I'm sorry I don't know why it didn't work initially but I'm glad apple pay worked. Thank you so much for buying it I really appreciate it. And congratulations on the new griddle you'll love it! We just got snow in Ohio yesterday, I don't know what's going on! It's ok though we'll all be making fries rice and smash burgers soon enough.
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.
Hey thanks so much for watching and for the kind words. I'm glad you found it helpful and I hope you get a flat top I love mine. I have all sorts of videos on temp control, cleaning, maintenance, ext.... So if you get one don't hesitate to ask a question and Id be happy to answer. I try my best to answer all comments. Have a good one.
People with a narcissistic and self aggrandizing personality gravitate toward management positions. They love to hear themselves talk and think every word is pivotal on the success of whoever and whatever they manage. Truth is... about 5% to 10% is worth a $hit the rest is their self inflating ego. This is just the facts of living in a cubicle farm.
Awesome! I hope it's helpful, that's how I do it and I just think it's the best way to learn. Not sure why others don't talk about it much. Thanks so much for watching.
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.
Hey Todd congrats on the new griddle! I'm glad you liked my video and found it helpful. Your going to have a lot of fun this summer with that new griddle. Thanks for watching man.
I just realized I had already all the accessories but I didn’t have a griddle….I even had the thermometer that we bought for the pandemic …so now that I bought the griddle today ( from sam’s club for $ 79) it is time to cook…the hardest thing to cook on a griddle most likely it would be eggs…I cooked hundreds and hundreds of eggs on different griddles until I was sick of it….yes that is what you do when you work the egg station in a restaurant…as far as the temperature on your griddle you have to learn where is your hot side and your warm side as you cook on it…I never used a thermometer in connection with a griddle in fact I never thought about connecting the two…bacon fat will season a griddle real good…
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
Congratulations on the new griddle Josh! I'm glad you learned something and thanks so much for watching. Ya don't forget that beer it's the most important thing 😁. You got some good meals coming your way. Let me know if you ever have any questions man. I don't mind answering them and I have videos in pretty much everything.
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 can't imagine my electric bill if I kept my house at 70 here in Phoenix in the summer. I keep it at 77 and I still pay about $600 a month for electricity. Awesome videos by the way. New subscriber.
Hahaha ya that would be pretty difficult to do in Phoenix. $600 a month is insane I won't tell you what mine is in Ohio because I don't want you to get mad lol. Glad you like the videos and thanks so much for subscribing.
Hey thanks so much Leo I really appreciate you supporting me and I hope it's helpful. It's not the prettiest thing but I spent a lot of time putting everything I know in there so I'm glad you feel like it's worth it. That really makes my day.
Hey Pete! Thanks so much for watching and I'm glad you like them. Ugh it's a rough time to be a cbj fan but the future looks good! We got some solid pieces to build on. People that are actually going to stay. I have hope.
Damn that makes a lot of sense about outside temp I live in Vegas outside temp when cooking on my Blackstone feels like the middle of desert in death valley 😂
You're welcome James. Your comment cut off but I'm going to assume you were saying glad to see a Buckeye! Maybe I'm wrong, anyways thanks for watching.
Please don't stop making these videos man they're great! Looking into getting a flat top grill and found your channel today, subbed, liked hit the bell and most importantly drinking those beers 😆
Thanks so much Rick I appreciate it man. As long as I got a griddle and a cell phone with a camera I'll keep making them. Thanks for subbing and liking and absolutley thanks for drinking those beers! If I know people have a cold one while I watch my videos then if I drink one while I make the videos technincally I'm not drinking alone 😏. I like your picture of the guitars I assume you play? I played base in high school in a garage band but haven't picked it up for a while.
@@JohnnyBrunet I wouldn't call myself a player I'm maybe a halfway decent noodle-arounder lol. Dad taught me forever ago in high school on that 12 string acoustic in the picture, who does that??! Been comparing grills, the portable folding leg 600 looks like a winner, thanks for the Camp/Blackstone video that helped out for sure
@@_Rick_S Haha ya you don't see the 12 string as often but they sure sound nice. Your welcome for the comparison videos, I think if I could go back I would get the portable 600 as well. I thought I would use the grill grates more on my regular 600 but I have not.
@@JohnnyBrunet I was just watching another review and the guy was saying that he had a lot of heat radiating out onto the side shelves, I went on Amazon and found some adhesive reflective material that's rated for a ton of heat, if there's room to stick that stuff on the inside sides of the grill then it would keep the heat from getting to the shelves, not sure if you've had that problem
@@_Rick_S there is a lot of heat on the sides but I just figured there was nothing you could do about it. I'll have to check out the adhesives, thanks.
Thanks man. I actually worked in and managed restaurants long enough to know that I don't want to do that lol. Making the menu and serving customers great food sounds good, but I don't ever plan on hiring and managing people again in my life lol.
Yes, so when seasoning you definitely want it on high. It needs to get hot enough to burn off the oil and complete the polymerization. That's when the oil burns off and creates a black "patina" which is the non stick surface. That high temperature however is only for the seasoning process. After you're done seasoning every time you cook on it I like to preheat on low. This is because the griddle gets so hot you can get your proper temp on low or medium. I rarely ever cook on high. I only use it for seasoning and occasionally searing a steak or smash burger. I hope that clears it up and thanks so much for watching.
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!
That's awesome that's a very nice gift from your cousin. I think some smash burgers or cheese steaks would be a great way to pay him. And thanks so much I'm glad you like the videos and the style I present them in. I really appreciate you watching.
You know I don't know because got this bag of flour an spices and all we had to do was mix it with the cooked sausage. SoI think they had some secrets in there with the flour.
Hey man. I love your channel. I'm new to griddle cooking and live in Ireland (which really limits my outdoor time 😀). I noticed in another video you said not to keep your burners on high as you can warp the griddle. Having said that, I assume that it's ok on high for the time it takes to season the griddle? Sorry if that's a stupid question. Thanks.
Hi!!! That's awesome you're in Ireland, I love when there's people half way around the world that watch, it still blows my mind. Yes I didn't speak clearly in that video. High for seasoning is fine and you can cook on high as well if you want. I just don't because it burns stuff and if you do a large temp jump (like put some frozen burgers down when it's over 500 degrees) it can warp it. I hope that explains it better. Thank you for watching.
@@JohnnyBrunet Thanks, Johnny. Thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment. Yes, that makes perfect sense - thank you for clarifying for me. I really appreciate the advice. You're a gentleman! And I bet you get views from literally all over the world. Keep up the amazing work. Much love from Ireland.
I always tell the wife I have to have a beer when I’m cooking!!! Spatula in one hand and a beer in the other hand keeps you balanced!!!! Spatula in both hands balanced!!! Spatula , no beer things could get tipsy and tip right over without proper balance!!! 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Hahaha that is absolutely one of my top 3 favorite comedies of all time. I just love everything about it and the sad thing is the more you work the more relatable it becomes. This is the second best comment I've ever got. The first was when someone told me I reminded them of Norm Macdonald, I did stand up as a hobby pre COVID and Norm was one of my favorites. So that's why it's #1 haha. Thanks for watching a few videos.
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.
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.
Thanks so much! Jabba the Catt is an amazing name btw. I'm really glad you like the channel and find it helpful. Also I hear you about the liquidation thing lol. I've don't that before too, there's some great prices but you just don't know when you'll get it.
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.
Congrats on winning a griddle thats awesome! Thank you so much for buying the e book all proceedes this month are going towards childrens hospital here in Columbus Ohio. Thanks so much for giving my channel a shout out and let me know if you have any questions. You have a super cool channel I watched a few videos and enjoyed them.
The one thing that keeps me from using my griddle more than I do is cleaning. When I cook I don't want to stay outside and clean while others are enjoying the food I cooked. Sometimes it gets too dark to clean other times the weather doesn't cooperate. I guess my basic question is if I'm forced to wait several days before I clean will I ruin the griddle. Can I just heat on low and clean as if I was doing it right after cooking?
Hi Robert, I totally understand and agree. I am not a fan of cleaning after I'm done I want to start eating. In my opinion and from my experience, no you don't need to do a full cleaning every time. What I do a lot is scrape it all down, wipe it with a paper towel then eat. I also scrape it down while I'm cooking so it's not a ton of work at the end. I do not use water "every time" to clean. I have however been told by numerous viewers that compared to other channels I don't have the prettiest griddle 🤷🏻♂️. I don't mind though because it hasn't affected the quality of the food and I just give it a deep cleaning every few cooks when I have time. I hope that helps you, have a good one.
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.
Congratulations on the new griddle Rib! You're welcome for the videos thank you so much for watching them. I hope they're helpful and if you ever have questions don't hesitate to ask I'm happy to answer them. My first set of advice is make sure you grab a 6 pack for the seasoning process. It takes about an hour so you'll need to stay hydrated. 😁🍻
For sure Jeff. I love my Big Green Egg for bbw and smoking but ya it has limits. The griddle is nice for easy stuff like a quick fried bologna sandwich.
Hi Ramon, I got this specific one off of amazon but I believe it is not available right now. This isn't the same brand but I believe it will still work for a Camp Chef ftg 600. amzn.to/3FAYdw7
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
Thanks I really appreciate you supporting me and watching the channel. Also gotta love another guy who knows the importance of staying hydrated! Cheers buddy 🍻
Amazon but I think the company may have gone out of bussiness. They have other ones on there now bu they're a litte more expensive. Mine was $100 this one is $120 amzn.to/3Kh2kiQ but if you click around you may be able to find something similar on Amaon.
How good is this guy!!! Best tutorial & instructional video on TH-cam 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.
Hey Man thanks so much for watching! I'm really glad you liked it I try to keep it straight forward and to the point. That's crazy youre in Manchester I just always get surprised at how far these videos can reach. I really appreciate you taking time to watch and comment, have a good one 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!!!!!
Hey Ron, congrats on the new griddle!! I'm glad this video was helpful man. Hopefully you'll be whipping up great meals in no time. I also have a free broom with the temperature chart on it and some recipes. Here's the link it will get you the ebook and sign you up for my weekly griddle newsletter. It's all free, thanks for watching man. mailchi.mp/johnnybrunet/icf3brlr2e
Unfortunately I don't think they do. I've tried to use it on a stainless steel Le Griddle and it didn't work. I don't know the science of why, I just know it wouldn't read it. They make surface thermometers that will work. But they take a while to get an accurate temp. They are not instant like the infrared gun. I'll link one if you're interested. It will still help.
Here's the surface thermometer. If you get one what I would do is just put all four burners on low then wait 15 minutes to get an accurate reading of where your griddle is at on low. Then you can adjust from there and learn your griddle. I hope this helps. amzn.to/3N3QWYi
I just got a wet wash rag and wiped the gridle down good and then slapped a lbs of bacon on it cooked that and then while it was hot spread that bacon grease all around and all over the griddle. Let that cool and called it a day.
Thanks, this was Gracie. She was a Beagle/Jack mix and a very smart girl. Always got comments on her and how beautiful she was. She was with me for 16 wonderful years and I still miss her. @@JohnnyBrunet
@@smoothandchunky1 I bet she was great. I'm sorry she passed. Sounds like you were very lucky to have her in your life. Thanks for sharing. I need to hug our Murphy today and appreciate him while I can.
Are getting a head start on St Patrick’s day with a green beer? lol. And ya can’t grill correctly without a beer. My personal experience. lol. Thanks for the tips. I’m learning ( sort of).😂
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.
Awesome! I have a lodge as well that's what I used before I bought a big outdoor one. It works out great, I bet your onion burgers were awesome. Thanks for watching.
Good info. Johnny, glad you said you were gonna drink the beer ,,, not pour it on your griddle because that would be considered alcohol abuse !!!!! Good job my friend,, THANK you Frank from montana. PS thanks for the shout out, ps can you come here and preseason my griddle ? We have lots of brewarys out here it probably will take a week to reseason it. Message my back anytime...
Lol thanks Matt I appreciate you watching. Due to recent events I won't say anything about your preferences in football teams 😢. Thanks for watching buddy and we'll see you in late November!
Glad it was helpful for you! and you had your day in the sun last year, I'm feeling pretty good about the Bucks chances come november 26th. We'll see though. Thanks for watching
Great video! Just ordered the Camp Chef 600. Quick question… you said to turn all 4 burners to high to start, but I’ve read elsewhere that turning all to high can warp the griddle. Can you please share your thoughts on how to avoid warping? Thanks!
Hi Jeff, I have the 600 as well and in the Facebook group I've seen a lot of people have warping issues. The 600 is technically pre seasoned but I did just one coat of oil myself burned off for good measure. Once I got all 4 burners to medium that was hot enough to burn off the oil. Blackstone recommends turning all 4 to high to season there griddle but it's not pre seasoned so that's why I also say turn all 4 to high in this video because most people buy Blackstone's. Turn yours to medium or a little above and you'll get hot enough to burn of the oil. I pretty much never go to high on my Cam Chef 600. I hope that answers your question and sorry for the confusion. Thanks so much for watching.
@@JohnnyBrunet Hi Johnny! Not sure the best way to reach you, but I purchased your $10 ebook, but closed out Safari on my phone without saving it. Is there a way for me to get another copy? I can send you a screenshot of my Apple Payment.
@@jeffhamiltonaz hey that's no problem I can get you a copy just email me at griddlewithjohnny@gmail.com. I will email you back with an attachment of the ebook that you can download. And you don't need to send a screenshot, I can see who's ordered on my website and your name is on there as paid. Sorry for the hassle but I'll get you your copy.
@@JohnnyBrunet Thanks so much for getting the book to me! It’s a great book and well worth the money! I pre-seasoned the griddle, but I can’t get it level, even with the height adjustment screws. It seems like it’s bowed in the middle. I’m going to take a pic and see if they’ll replace it, but was just wondering how critical it is to be absolutely flat? Thanks again for responding so quickly with the book!
Congrats on the new griddle Frank! I store mine outdoors year round with a cover. Some times I bring the top in but not oftern because it's super heavy.
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!
So I love Canola and Avocado oil. I just think the heat tolerance is higher. I also love the 3 to 6 beer rule, well closer to 6. I was looking at the Blackstone griddle with the side burner. Just wondering what your opinion is on griddles. Oh. those beers, well they gotta be Bud Light, love the color of the can.
Ya the heat tolerance definitely helps. I've seen the Blackstone's with the side burners and they look nice. The idea of having a sauce pot or boiling pasta is very tempting to me. As for what brand of griddle to get I don't have any brand loyalty. I've made about 150 videos with numerous people commenting about how they love all different sorts of griddles. I say get what's in your price range Blackstone's are good and so are camp chefs. The only thing I tell people is if price doesn't matter and your between a smaller one or a bigger one, get the bigger one. You'll find ways to use up the space and be glad you have it. Especially when you do something like fries rice and you can just do a giant batch with plenty left over for meals during the week. Thanks so much for watching.
Hey thanks. Ya I get asked a lot about those and the funny thing is they're just out of a box lol. I've actually never done scratch pancakes. I use the Kroger brand buttermilk pancake mix. I usually add just a little less water than it calls for, and I always let them sit on the counter for 10 or 15 minutes before I make them. I feel like that helps them tighten up. Hopefully that gets you good results, thanks for watching.
Thanks so much! Yup my wife and son and I live in Grandview. You're like the 3rd person to figure that out just by the video that's crazy. It must be the boulevard. My wife and I both graduated from OSU, go bucks!
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.
Hi Michael, thank you so much for the kind words. I'm so glad that you like the channel and find it helpful. That is my goal to help other people learn how to griddle not to show what I can do. Also congrats on the new griddle if you just got it. Have a good one buddy.
Got my griddle on order as we speak.. some videos I see say to not use water on a hot surface on these consumer grade flat tops because it can cause the warping. Have you ever had an issue with this?
Hey Stefan congratulations on the new griddle on its way. I use water all the time to steam for melting cheese, bring the temp down for eggs, and for cleaning stuck on food. The main way I've seen griddles warp is drastic change in temperature. So if it's cold out and you crank it on high. Or if you put frozen food on a very hot griddle. Mine warped when I had it too high and I put a 5lb log of partially frozen ground beef on it. It went back but it was scary while it happened. So I think you're fine with water, just avoid large temperature fluctuations.
Ok.. question... Once I seasoned those 3 times in the beginning then use it then clean off with water and then put a little bit more oil on it do I have to season it again 2 3 times before using it .... or when you put that oil on at the end your good to go for the next? Or do u have to put more oil on it on the next cook?
Hi Tyler. So no you do not need to season it again before each cook. After your original 3 burnoffs it is good to go and the seasoning will build everytime you use it. It's very similar to a cast iron pan. I do usually start each of my cooks with a thin layer of oil just for good measure. But I am not burning that off. I turn the griddle on, put down a thin layer of oil then start cooking. I hope that was helpful, thanks for watching.

Just bought my first griddle. I sure do wish I watched your video before any of the other ones. Amazing video. Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful!
By far most enjoyable video I seen on prepping the griddle. Good work man
Thanks Jo I'm glad you liked it.
First video I came across that talks about actually temps-for different cooks not just heat zones.
Awesome! I hope it's helpful, that's how I do it and I just think it's the best way to learn. Not sure why others don't talk about it much. Thanks so much for watching.
Just bought a Blackstone. This is so helpful.

Thanks Dale I'm glad you liked it. I didn't want to go on and on too long, just wanted to give the essentials, glad you agree.
I use an infrared thermometer inside too. I like any activity that involves beer btw.
I've used it inside as well on cast iron. And you can't go wrong with beer drinking activities. I've never fished before but I think I'd like it.
Got my first griddle last week! This is one of the best videos I’ve watched!! Thanks man!

Nice!!!!! That's the proper way to do it 😂😂😂😂
very helpful. Thank you
You're welcome Mark thank you for watching.
I can't imagine my electric bill if I kept my house at 70 here in Phoenix in the summer. I keep it at 77 and I still pay about $600 a month for electricity. Awesome videos by the way. New subscriber.
Hahaha ya that would be pretty difficult to do in Phoenix. $600 a month is insane I won't tell you what mine is in Ohio because I don't want you to get mad lol. Glad you like the videos and thanks so much for subscribing.
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.
Thank you so much Todd for the positive referral. I really appreciate it buddy.
BTY, I just bought your e-book…well worth the price.
Hey thanks so much Leo I really appreciate you supporting me and I hope it's helpful. It's not the prettiest thing but I spent a lot of time putting everything I know in there so I'm glad you feel like it's worth it. That really makes my day.
Another great video for newbies. Greet video Johnny. 👍
Thanks Jim!
Great video. And a fellow CBJ & Buckeye fan!
Hey Pete! Thanks so much for watching and I'm glad you like them. Ugh it's a rough time to be a cbj fan but the future looks good! We got some solid pieces to build on. People that are actually going to stay. I have hope.
Nice bread trick bro!
Thanks.
As always great info. Keepem coming
Thanks, will do!
Damn that makes a lot of sense about outside temp I live in Vegas outside temp when cooking on my Blackstone feels like the middle of desert in death valley 😂
Hahaha you probably don't even need to turn yours own to do some scrambled eggs lol.
Awesome thanks bro for the info
You're welcome Raymon, thanks for watching.
Awesome johnny, just awesome thank you.
You're welcome Mark, thank you so much for watching.
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.
Thanks Jared I'm so glad that they're helpful because that's my goal. I really appreciate you watching man. Cheers 🍻
Thanks for the tips and gald to see a
You're welcome James. Your comment cut off but I'm going to assume you were saying glad to see a Buckeye! Maybe I'm wrong, anyways thanks for watching.
Please don't stop making these videos man they're great! Looking into getting a flat top grill and found your channel today, subbed, liked hit the bell and most importantly drinking those beers 😆
Thanks so much Rick I appreciate it man. As long as I got a griddle and a cell phone with a camera I'll keep making them. Thanks for subbing and liking and absolutley thanks for drinking those beers! If I know people have a cold one while I watch my videos then if I drink one while I make the videos technincally I'm not drinking alone 😏.
I like your picture of the guitars I assume you play? I played base in high school in a garage band but haven't picked it up for a while.
@@JohnnyBrunet I wouldn't call myself a player I'm maybe a halfway decent noodle-arounder lol. Dad taught me forever ago in high school on that 12 string acoustic in the picture, who does that??! Been comparing grills, the portable folding leg 600 looks like a winner, thanks for the Camp/Blackstone video that helped out for sure
@@_Rick_S Haha ya you don't see the 12 string as often but they sure sound nice. Your welcome for the comparison videos, I think if I could go back I would get the portable 600 as well. I thought I would use the grill grates more on my regular 600 but I have not.
@@JohnnyBrunet I was just watching another review and the guy was saying that he had a lot of heat radiating out onto the side shelves, I went on Amazon and found some adhesive reflective material that's rated for a ton of heat, if there's room to stick that stuff on the inside sides of the grill then it would keep the heat from getting to the shelves, not sure if you've had that problem
@@_Rick_S there is a lot of heat on the sides but I just figured there was nothing you could do about it. I'll have to check out the adhesives, thanks.
You should open your own diner man, call it johnnys. We’ll all support u
Thanks man. I actually worked in and managed restaurants long enough to know that I don't want to do that lol. Making the menu and serving customers great food sounds good, but I don't ever plan on hiring and managing people again in my life lol.
Thanks, Johnny!
You say to season the griddle on high, but in another great video you say not to pre-heat on high. Can you clarify?
Yes, so when seasoning you definitely want it on high. It needs to get hot enough to burn off the oil and complete the polymerization. That's when the oil burns off and creates a black "patina" which is the non stick surface.
That high temperature however is only for the seasoning process. After you're done seasoning every time you cook on it I like to preheat on low. This is because the griddle gets so hot you can get your proper temp on low or medium.
I rarely ever cook on high. I only use it for seasoning and occasionally searing a steak or smash burger.
I hope that clears it up and thanks so much for watching.
All new griddle owners need a ‘Griddle with Johnny’ crash course. I know it helped me for sure, thanks Johnny!
Thanks for the positive reference Patrick!
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!
That's awesome that's a very nice gift from your cousin. I think some smash burgers or cheese steaks would be a great way to pay him.
And thanks so much I'm glad you like the videos and the style I present them in. I really appreciate you watching.
Speaking of Bob Evan's. What gives their gravy that unique flavor?
You know I don't know because got this bag of flour an spices and all we had to do was mix it with the cooked sausage. SoI think they had some secrets in there with the flour.
Hey man. I love your channel. I'm new to griddle cooking and live in Ireland (which really limits my outdoor time 😀). I noticed in another video you said not to keep your burners on high as you can warp the griddle. Having said that, I assume that it's ok on high for the time it takes to season the griddle? Sorry if that's a stupid question. Thanks.
Hi!!! That's awesome you're in Ireland, I love when there's people half way around the world that watch, it still blows my mind.
Yes I didn't speak clearly in that video. High for seasoning is fine and you can cook on high as well if you want. I just don't because it burns stuff and if you do a large temp jump (like put some frozen burgers down when it's over 500 degrees) it can warp it.
I hope that explains it better. Thank you for watching.
@@JohnnyBrunet Thanks, Johnny. Thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment. Yes, that makes perfect sense - thank you for clarifying for me. I really appreciate the advice. You're a gentleman! And I bet you get views from literally all over the world. Keep up the amazing work. Much love from Ireland.
What about concerns of warping griddle when adding water to clean
No not as long as it all gets wiped up or evaporated off. I view it the same as cast iron, use water to clean but you have to then get it bone dry.
👍😀the most important thing is the beer
Always! 🍻🍻🍻🍻
If I were you I would edit this video to put a Miller High Life in your hand.
It’s a grillers best friend.
Bud Light is for tofu eaters
Instead of water use 2 parts water to 1 part white vinegar. Cuts through that gunk like it's nothing.
I always tell the wife I have to have a beer when I’m cooking!!! Spatula in one hand and a beer in the other hand keeps you balanced!!!! Spatula in both hands balanced!!! Spatula , no beer things could get tipsy and tip right over without proper balance!!! 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Haha I love it Steve, I'm going to start telling my wife the same thing.
Great video, love the vibe here, how did the meeting with the Bobs go?
Ron Livingston in Office Space energy here. Along with great info.
Hahaha that is absolutely one of my top 3 favorite comedies of all time. I just love everything about it and the sad thing is the more you work the more relatable it becomes.
This is the second best comment I've ever got. The first was when someone told me I reminded them of Norm Macdonald, I did stand up as a hobby pre COVID and Norm was one of my favorites. So that's why it's #1 haha.
Thanks for watching a few videos.
@@JohnnyBrunet subscribed last week my friend :) have a great weekend!
@@NinerK you too buddy.
Glad you dropped the Bud Light or you'd have to reshoot the whole video. LOL
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.
Hahahah awesome spatula man, glad I could help! I hope you ended up having a great 4th brother, thanks for watching.
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.
Thanks so much! Jabba the Catt is an amazing name btw. I'm really glad you like the channel and find it helpful. Also I hear you about the liquidation thing lol. I've don't that before too, there's some great prices but you just don't know when you'll get it.
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.
Congrats on winning a griddle thats awesome! Thank you so much for buying the e book all proceedes this month are going towards childrens hospital here in Columbus Ohio. Thanks so much for giving my channel a shout out and let me know if you have any questions. You have a super cool channel I watched a few videos and enjoyed them.
The one thing that keeps me from using my griddle more than I do is cleaning. When I cook I don't want to stay outside and clean while others are enjoying the food I cooked. Sometimes it gets too dark to clean other times the weather doesn't cooperate. I guess my basic question is if I'm forced to wait several days before I clean will I ruin the griddle. Can I just heat on low and clean as if I was doing it right after cooking?
Hi Robert,
I totally understand and agree. I am not a fan of cleaning after I'm done I want to start eating. In my opinion and from my experience, no you don't need to do a full cleaning every time. What I do a lot is scrape it all down, wipe it with a paper towel then eat. I also scrape it down while I'm cooking so it's not a ton of work at the end. I do not use water "every time" to clean.
I have however been told by numerous viewers that compared to other channels I don't have the prettiest griddle 🤷🏻♂️.
I don't mind though because it hasn't affected the quality of the food and I just give it a deep cleaning every few cooks when I have time.
I hope that helps you, have a good one.
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.
Congratulations on the new griddle Rib! You're welcome for the videos thank you so much for watching them. I hope they're helpful and if you ever have questions don't hesitate to ask I'm happy to answer them. My first set of advice is make sure you grab a 6 pack for the seasoning process. It takes about an hour so you'll need to stay hydrated. 😁🍻
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!
For sure Jeff. I love my Big Green Egg for bbw and smoking but ya it has limits. The griddle is nice for easy stuff like a quick fried bologna sandwich.
Same here.
Where did you get your top cover for your griddle?
Hi Ramon, I got this specific one off of amazon but I believe it is not available right now. This isn't the same brand but I believe it will still work for a Camp Chef ftg 600. amzn.to/3FAYdw7
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!
Congratulations on the new griddle Alan. Thanks so much for watching, I'm glad that you and your wife enjoy them. And I appreciate you watching.
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
Thanks I really appreciate you supporting me and watching the channel. Also gotta love another guy who knows the importance of staying hydrated! Cheers buddy 🍻
Entertaining and informative. You've sold me on the need for an infrared thermometer😊👍
Thanks Bobbi!
where did you get that lid hommie? I"ve got the same grill you do, a camp chef 4 burner. Thanks!
Amazon but I think the company may have gone out of bussiness. They have other ones on there now bu they're a litte more expensive. Mine was $100 this one is $120

but if you click around you may be able to find something similar on Amaon.

Love you man, drink all day Love it! Don't forget the cigar brother
Thanks brother, and that's a good idea, I definitely need to get a cigar in one of these videos.
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!!!!!

do inforef thermometers work on members mark stainless steel griddle
Unfortunately I don't think they do. I've tried to use it on a stainless steel Le Griddle and it didn't work. I don't know the science of why, I just know it wouldn't read it.
They make surface thermometers that will work. But they take a while to get an accurate temp. They are not instant like the infrared gun. I'll link one if you're interested. It will still help.
Here's the surface thermometer. If you get one what I would do is just put all four burners on low then wait 15 minutes to get an accurate reading of where your griddle is at on low. Then you can adjust from there and learn your griddle. I hope this helps.

I just got a wet wash rag and wiped the gridle down good and then slapped a lbs of bacon on it cooked that and then while it was hot spread that bacon grease all around and all over the griddle. Let that cool and called it a day.
Go bucks!
Heck ya!

Are getting a head start on St Patrick’s day with a green beer? lol. And ya can’t grill correctly without a beer. My personal experience. lol. Thanks for the tips. I’m learning ( sort of).😂
Man I'm ready to get a head start on St. Patty's day. You're welcome and thanks for watching.
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.
Awesome! I have a lodge as well that's what I used before I bought a big outdoor one. It works out great, I bet your onion burgers were awesome. Thanks for watching.
Good info. Johnny, glad you said you were gonna drink the beer ,,, not pour it on your griddle because that would be considered alcohol abuse !!!!! Good job my friend,, THANK you Frank from montana. PS thanks for the shout out, ps can you come here and preseason my griddle ? We have lots of brewarys out here it probably will take a week to reseason it. Message my back anytime...
No beer abuse in my videos Frank! Ya a week long re seasoning sounds good to me!
I love your videos. Great ideas an your knowledge. But i most certainly, after seeing that shirt I would say Go Blue! Again, love the videos bud!
Lol thanks Matt I appreciate you watching. Due to recent events I won't say anything about your preferences in football teams 😢. Thanks for watching buddy and we'll see you in late November!
This was well worth explained. Do I have to do it like this every time I’m gonna griddle for an event?
Nope you just need to do this once then it will build seasoning everytime you cook on it.
@@JohnnyBrunet so all I have to do is warm to the desire temperature and good to go.
@@ariesanfilippo1078 yes sir
Awesome info !
Thx man …..oh and 1 more thing……
GO BLUE 〽️!!!
Glad it was helpful for you! and you had your day in the sun last year, I'm feeling pretty good about the Bucks chances come november 26th. We'll see though. Thanks for watching
Great video! Just ordered the Camp Chef 600. Quick question… you said to turn all 4 burners to high to start, but I’ve read elsewhere that turning all to high can warp the griddle. Can you please share your thoughts on how to avoid warping? Thanks!
Hi Jeff,
I have the 600 as well and in the Facebook group I've seen a lot of people have warping issues. The 600 is technically pre seasoned but I did just one coat of oil myself burned off for good measure. Once I got all 4 burners to medium that was hot enough to burn off the oil.
Blackstone recommends turning all 4 to high to season there griddle but it's not pre seasoned so that's why I also say turn all 4 to high in this video because most people buy Blackstone's.
Turn yours to medium or a little above and you'll get hot enough to burn of the oil. I pretty much never go to high on my Cam Chef 600.
I hope that answers your question and sorry for the confusion. Thanks so much for watching.
@@JohnnyBrunet Hi Johnny! Not sure the best way to reach you, but I purchased your $10 ebook, but closed out Safari on my phone without saving it. Is there a way for me to get another copy? I can send you a screenshot of my Apple Payment.

I found your email and sent it just now. Let me know if you don't get it.
@@JohnnyBrunet Thanks so much for getting the book to me! It’s a great book and well worth the money! I pre-seasoned the griddle, but I can’t get it level, even with the height adjustment screws. It seems like it’s bowed in the middle. I’m going to take a pic and see if they’ll replace it, but was just wondering how critical it is to be absolutely flat? Thanks again for responding so quickly with the book!
Just got a blackstone for Christmas!! Is it safe to store with a cover outdoors? Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Congrats on the new griddle Frank! I store mine outdoors year round with a cover. Some times I bring the top in but not oftern because it's super heavy.
Sorry I missed you
No problem Scotty I don't know how I accidentally made it a premier. I'm still not sure how that works.
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!
Thanks Mat! I'm so glad they have been helpful for you. Thanks so much for watching.
So I love Canola and Avocado oil. I just think the heat tolerance is higher. I also love the 3 to 6 beer rule, well closer to 6. I was looking at the Blackstone griddle with the side burner. Just wondering what your opinion is on griddles. Oh. those beers, well they gotta be Bud Light, love the color of the can.
Ya the heat tolerance definitely helps. I've seen the Blackstone's with the side burners and they look nice. The idea of having a sauce pot or boiling pasta is very tempting to me. As for what brand of griddle to get I don't have any brand loyalty. I've made about 150 videos with numerous people commenting about how they love all different sorts of griddles. I say get what's in your price range Blackstone's are good and so are camp chefs. The only thing I tell people is if price doesn't matter and your between a smaller one or a bigger one, get the bigger one. You'll find ways to use up the space and be glad you have it.
Especially when you do something like fries rice and you can just do a giant batch with plenty left over for meals during the week. Thanks so much for watching.
You’re my new favorite TH-camr!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate you watching.
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!
Thanks so much! I always appreciate the support from a fellow buckeye.
Great stuff. Thanks Loudermilk Buckeye! 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Johnny, you cooked on a LoCo yet? They have digital temp readings. Assume that they are accurate?
I have not but I wonder how accurate those temps are when the weather starts dropping. Id love to test one out.
old video, but those pancakes O_o Is that recipe bobbing around somewhere?
Hey thanks. Ya I get asked a lot about those and the funny thing is they're just out of a box lol. I've actually never done scratch pancakes. I use the Kroger brand buttermilk pancake mix. I usually add just a little less water than it calls for, and I always let them sit on the counter for 10 or 15 minutes before I make them. I feel like that helps them tighten up. Hopefully that gets you good results, thanks for watching.
If this is a duplicate l apologize I hit a wrong button. I have been told to never use a microfiber cloth on a flattop. Is this true, if so, why?
I haven't used one Robert but that makes sense. Id imagine that it would leave fuzzies. I use just regular shop towels and paper towels.
Hey Johnny. I like your channel. Looks like you live in Grandview. Go bucks!
Thanks so much! Yup my wife and son and I live in Grandview. You're like the 3rd person to figure that out just by the video that's crazy. It must be the boulevard. My wife and I both graduated from OSU, go bucks!
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.
Hi Michael, thank you so much for the kind words. I'm so glad that you like the channel and find it helpful. That is my goal to help other people learn how to griddle not to show what I can do. Also congrats on the new griddle if you just got it. Have a good one buddy.
Love your shirt go bucks!
Thanks Dennis, go bucks!!
Oh by the way I liked the vidio
@@dennissmith6824 haha thank you.
Would you recommend using the blue shop towels for the paper towels? Or just use paper towels
I've heard other people use them but I actually never have. It's worth giving it a try once.
Got my griddle on order as we speak.. some videos I see say to not use water on a hot surface on these consumer grade flat tops because it can cause the warping. Have you ever had an issue with this?
Hey Stefan congratulations on the new griddle on its way. I use water all the time to steam for melting cheese, bring the temp down for eggs, and for cleaning stuck on food.
The main way I've seen griddles warp is drastic change in temperature. So if it's cold out and you crank it on high.
Or if you put frozen food on a very hot griddle.
Mine warped when I had it too high and I put a 5lb log of partially frozen ground beef on it. It went back but it was scary while it happened.
So I think you're fine with water, just avoid large temperature fluctuations.
Ok.. question... Once I seasoned those 3 times in the beginning then use it then clean off with water and then put a little bit more oil on it do I have to season it again 2 3 times before using it .... or when you put that oil on at the end your good to go for the next? Or do u have to put more oil on it on the next cook?
Hi Tyler. So no you do not need to season it again before each cook. After your original 3 burnoffs it is good to go and the seasoning will build everytime you use it. It's very similar to a cast iron pan.
I do usually start each of my cooks with a thin layer of oil just for good measure. But I am not burning that off. I turn the griddle on, put down a thin layer of oil then start cooking.
I hope that was helpful, thanks for watching.
I purchased your book. It said it came in the Air Drop. I have an iPhone and I can’t find the e-book in the air drop
Hi Joe I could you email me at griddlewithjohnny@gmail.com and I can send you a link.
Definitely gave me some Office Space vibes with that 1 hour meeting comment 😂😂
God I love that movie. It is honestly in my top 5 comedies and I take that list very seriously.
I like the vibe, simple and concise instructions, and most importantly for me some humor
Thanks so much Jeof.
Do you need to smoke the oil 3 times everytime you go to cook or just the first time?
Just the first time. After that you'll naturally build the seasoning each time you cook
@Johnny Brunet I like to cook in beef tallow, can i put a little down on my Blackstone every time I cook for flavor?
@@jberts3141 ya that will be fine. Beef tallow is delicious. So I assume you smoke meat as well? Is your tallow from a brisket or something?
@Johnny Brunet no its store bought grass fed beef tallow. Makes eggs or steaks or whatever you cook taste amazing. It has a high smoke point too.
@@jberts3141 ya I've never used it but my uncle swears by it. He's smokes stuff all the time on his big green egg.
