Hey Johnny thanks for this info! We got a new Pit Boss table top griddle to kinda learn on and this info is just what we need! That's cool you worked at Bob Evans! He was a family friend of ours and my Mom worked for him at the steakhouse....his first restaurant in Gallipolis. It's a small world LOL! Cheers Bud and thanks again!!
You're welcome for all the info I hope it's helpful. Congratulations on the new griddle! That's cool that he was a family friend of yours. My grandfather is from gallipolis, we used to go back for Christmas every year to visit my Great Grandpa until he passed. I haven't been down for probably 20 years but have some found memories.
Hey Johnny. Best griddle channel out here. Love your humor too, too funny!
Thanks man, I really appreciate it and I'm glad it's been helpful.
Well done.
Thanks Bobby, I appreciate you watching.
Great advice! Glad you aren't an oil/seasoning snob. Too many of them turn people away from griddling at the start. My favorite griddle is whichever one I'm cooking on ☺ Love the hat!
So glad you noticed the hat Garrett this is my favorite article of clothing by far lol! Ya probably my bigggest pet peeve is being a snob about something and then for people to do it about oil just blows my mind. They can be so condescending to knew griddle owners and like you said it turns people away. That drive me nuts. Merry Christmas brother.
@@JohnnyBrunet I'd proudly wear that hat as well haha yeah people get a little too passionate about their oil and seasoning sometimes. I've cooked with cheap oil and expensive oil and on good seasoning and less than ideal seasoning and loved the results each time 😅 it's a learning process but at least the mistakes can be tasty as people find what works best for them. Thanks and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you as well!
@@JohnnyBrunet I too can't stand people who talk down to those that are new to griddling or like I have seen in new bourbon drinkers. I appreciate guys like you that have helped me adjust to indoor griddling.
I'm really enjoying this channel Johnny. My new griddle was delivered today and I've already watched many channels and videos in anticipation of the learning curve. You have some of the best advice and I like the humor. I hope your channel really takes off. You are right about the importance of temperature and having a IR thermometer. Just during the seasoning stage I learned so much about the thermals of my Blackstone 4 burner. Wind (just a light breeze) was a factor, low setting is a must and I now appreciate having a gradient across the griddle by turning off some burners. Position of the food is the temperature knob!
Hey David congrats on your new griddle!! Thanks so much for watching and I'm so glad that they're helpful. I'm glad you got a thermometer for your seasoning process that will give you a really good base knowledge of your griddles hot spots. I'm excited for you, there's some great meals in your near future. Thanks again for watching.
Great video. I got a griddle a few months ago and I love it. The one issue I have is that I have a hard time keeping the temp low enough. Even running on the lowest setting it gets to around 350. (I live in Colorado and not sure if the high elevation is a factor.)Any tips for reducing the heat output a little? Maybe an additional regulator?
So most of them run a little hot in my opinion. My recommendation is turning off a few burners like I mentioned. Maybe start by turning off the outside 2. Also keep an eye on the temp and put your food down right when it gets where you want. Don walk away for 15 minutes while it warms up then when you get back it's too high. I check it after about 7 minutes and it's usually to 375. I also have a video on this which I'll link.

@@JohnnyBrunet thanks. I’ll check that out.
Damn. Now I wished I got a 4 burner. I did my first cook today and the temp was an issue. I’m still waiting for my thermometer and accessories from Amazon. Is Steve still eating his granola bars?
I don't know if he's eating them or not, I think he might have started a keto diet 🙄. Sorry it didn't go well, what did you cook and what didn't turn out well? Maybe I can give some suggestions.
Griddle on what ya got, no judgement here. Unless it’s not a Blackstone….😉😉😉
😂😂😂
Man, I so appreciate a brief, to-the-point instructional video like this.
I'm a f'n rookie. I worked in fast food for a few years, not quite the same. This channel has worked me through my idiocy and convinced me to get a flat top. I'm currently living in a temporary situation (RV) where a flat top/griddle is absolutely optimal.
I didn't have a griddle before I sold my house. Started watching this channel and now I have 2.
Very versatile, I almost didn't find out about griddles before I bought something for my mini-camper. Griddle can do all three meals, and do a great job. I follow JB's advice. The infrared thermometer was an essential add.
Oh wow I'm so glad my channel has helped you out. Thanks so much for watching and if you have two of them you gotta watch our because one day you could be like me and end up with four lol.
Thanks for the clear and concise video. Very helpful. I'm hoping you can help me with a problem with a new Captiva Designs Tabletop 3 burner griddle I just bought. I'm frustrated with it so far. It's too hot, even on low it's over 500 degrees. At high it's over 600. These temps are too hot. I suppose I can try turning off the 2 outside burners to see if that helps. Even the nobs have a pretty narrow range for control, but the bottom line is I can't get temps low enough. Thoughts? Thanks much and I really like your channel.
Hey Warren thanks for watching. So I would recommended putting your food down right when it gets to the temp you want. Don't walk away for 10 or 15 min and let it get to 500. If you're making bacon and potatoes breakfast, the. Put those down right when it hits 375, however long that takes after turning it in.
The food on the griddle should help to regulate the temperature and keep it down. If you're doing some like eggs at the end the. You just need to shut a burner or two off and cook on the residual heat.
You could try only turning on the middle but we which would give you one really hot spot down the center. I might consider doing the opposite. Put the two outside ones on low and leave the middle off. This might transfer the heat more evenly and the middle will be cooler but still probably a usable temp like 350. I hope that helps my friend.
@@JohnnyBrunet Thanks for the quick reply, Johnny. I'll definitely give your suggestions a try next time I use it. Like you said in video, all griddles are different, and this one really surprised me with the temp.
Thanks for sharing man. Nothing beats experience though and I’m glad you’re giving some common sense tips to follow. Just want to add for the very new, safety is important and that griddle WILL burn you, so do your homework and get what you need to be safe.
That's a very good point. There's no open flame like a grill so it's easy to forget that the flat top is really hot! Thanks for sharing.
Watching this as my blackstone is being delivered
Heck ya John! congrats on the new griddle man. I hope you and your family love it as much as mine does. If you ever have questions don't hesitate to ask. I answer pretty much every comment. Go make yourself some smash burgers brother!
Hey Johnny, greetings from South FL! Love your channel brother! You videos inspired me to buy the Camp Chef, my first flat top grill. It’s arriving today! Keep up the great work!
Hey Mike! That's awesome I hope you are enjoy your new camp chef as much as I like mine. Thanks so much for watching buddy and lete know if you have any questions.
Howdy Johnny, hope you and yours had a great Christmas. Wishing y'all a Happy New Year! Your temperature advise has given me the confidence to cook on my griddle. Breakfast meals especially. Looking forward to 2023 and more Griddling with Johnny!! Have A Day! ;~)
Hey buddy, so glad my temperature advice helped you out with breakfast! Happy New Year to you and yours as well!
Hey Johnny! Cincinnati local here (appreciate the Rheingheist IPA showcases). I got a new Blackstone griddle and I've been following your videos religiously!
With rain or snow do you ever move your griddle inside to shield it from the elements? What's the best way to prevent rust in high humidity environments like Ohio
Hey! Thanks for watching the vids I'm glad they are helpful. I just had some Truth last night. So I have a hard cover and it does the truck during bad weather but ai have had a little water get under it during a real bad storm.
I wouls move it inside during the winter if I could but my wife and I are in a 900 SQ ft condo so I got nowhere to put it. I don't even have a garage lol
s for the rust just make sure you put a thin coat of oil on after your done cleaning. That will help protect it. You don't burn that coat off. Just clean it, thin coat of oil, then cover it and your good to go. Thanks again for watching, congratulations on the new griddle.
@@JohnnyBrunet thanks man! Super helpful. I'm going to keep mine outside and I appreciate your feedback mi amigo
@@atulshastry1 anytime.
See you got a Green Egg. Maybe you had it all along but I missed it. Hope you’re surviving up there. Btw, it’s cold here in FL…I know it relative. Take care.
Hi Chris! Ya I just got myself one for Christmas. It's been a lot of fun learning. Ya it's been cold up hear but we're hanging in. Hope you had a good Christmas down in FL
@@JohnnyBrunet Johnny, I’ve had a Kamado Joe for a few years now and it’s great. Recently got a joetisserie and it’s a game changer. Running out of room on my patio. 😂
@@CBL138 my uncle loves his joetisserie. Those are sweet!
I have a flir one thermal camera that attaches to my iPhone. I use it for HVAC work, but it’s also PERFECT for use with the griddle as I can actually see the temperature and where the hot spots are.
Oh that super cool! I bet that helps out a ton. I'd love to play around with one some day.
Your egg temp was a great help. PERFECT !!! Thanks for the videos.
You're welcome Bob, thanks so much for watching and I'm glad it helped.
Can you wait a day or so before cleaning your griddle? You really don't want to be cleaning while your guests are enjoying the food. If you wait is the process the same.
Hey Robert. I don't know if it recommended but I do it all the time. I'll give it a quick scrape down then a once over with a paper towel and I'll start eating. Again, I'm not sure if it's "best practice" but it works for me.
Thanks
@@robertthomas2662 anytime.
I know an outdoor griddle is a way better cook, but my indoor version was great with the snow, high winds and below zero temps! Great video Johnny.
Ya can't beat an indoor one this time of year! Hope you had a good Christmas Guy!
Hi, thanks for the video, I just subscribed for the ebook , put my email and didnt get anything
Hi Nir it might take a minute to email it to you. Let me go see if I can figure out what happened.
I just tried resending it, let me know if you got it.
@@JohnnyBrunet thanks man, got it now
Dude you got the egg! Good on ya. I cooked some steaks on the flattop tonight. Was delicious.
Hey Brian, ya I got the egg earlier this month as a christmas gift. I'm still learning but so far it's been a blast. Nothing wrong some steaks on the griddle, always a good decision.
Speaking of temperature. Is my griddle (with a cover) going to be okay when it's -30 below this winter?
I leave mine out all winter like ng but I still cook on it regularly. If you're concerned you can always just pull the top off of it and bring it inside.
Johnny, good morning from Montana ,, I hope you and your family had a great CHRISTMAS, you should put out a video on. " how to make BEER " why not. In this day and age it's another food group ? ( is it not ? )THANK you Frank from montana...
Hey Frank, I hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas as well! And yes I definitely think beer is a food group 😂😂😂
Thanks for the videos. I am retired, and I am currently living full time in my RV, and spend my summers in Quebec and the winters in Arizona. I jut bought and last night seasoned my first cast iron griddle that just goes over 2 of my indoor stove burners. It made a great breakfast this morning, with no sticking eggs and fantastic bacon and homemade hash browns with onions.
I have a brick oven for pizza and bread, so I fortunately already had an IR gun, which does seem to be a must have. I just priced a 4 burner Blackstone griddle on Amazon and was pleasantly surprised that it was not as much as expected - around $475 US. I see on the Canadian Amazon website it is double that, which is the usual rip off that Canadians are used to. If I buy one I will buy it in the US and bring it home.
Nice I'm glad this video was helpful. And dang I didn't realize they were that much in Canada. Thats crazy.
Merry Christmas Johnny!! I cooked breakfast for the family on Christmas morning it was freezing in Philadelphia!!
Merry Christmas Greg! Wow it was freezing in Ohio too, I can't believe you did that. You're a true griddle hero😁. Have a happy new year buddy.
great video! Greetings from Brazil!
Thanks! I appreciate you watching.
Always great advice Johnny! Hope you had a great Christmas brother!
Thanks buddy, I hope you and your family had a great Christmas as well.
Finally...a video about actual Temps and not just low, medium low, medium, etc.
Thanks Johnny
You're welcome buddy thanks for watching.
Merry Christmas Johnny Appreciate your videos Big Green Egg for Christmas?
Merry Christmas Randall! Yup Santa came early for me I got it at the beginning of the month.
Great video Johnny, very useful information. Thanks, Melaney from SoCal
Thanks Melanie I'm glad you liked it.
My names Johnny and it might be a sin…….
I loved how you whooped that devils ass down in Georgia!
Not only can you play a hella fiddle, but you are also a griddle guru!
Good job bro! 🤣
Fiddle on the Griddle!😂😂😂
I hadn’t touched my Camp Chef in 3 years because I couldn’t figure this out-thanks for this information, I had my first successful cook tonight!
That's awesome I'm so glad my video was able to helpt. Thanks for sharing this really makes my day. And tha ks for watching too.
Merry Christmas, JB - a nice, relaxing Christmas Day Eve wind-down video. It has been pretty cold here in NY State to use the griddle these last few days, did a duck in the oven for today's Christmas dinner.
Merry late Christmas to you too my friend and that duck sounds amazing!
Hey! Merry Christmas from my Pit to yours. Great info you’ve shared. It takes time to figure your specific cooker. Griddle, smoker or even a grill. I like to take notes on each cook and each cooker. Even my oven. Temperature plays a huge part in a meals’ success and we all want to impress. Love ya from The Shack!
Merry Christmas to you too! That is a great idea about taking notes I need to the same.
Just grabbed the thermometer and wire rack. My son has a new flat-top grill, and he cleaned up his old one for us. ❤
Oh that's awesome congratulations on the "new to you" griddle! I'm sure you'll love it.
Good advice as usual Johnny. My biggest issue was that I work out of town alot and no matter what I did, I would come home to rust. I finally solved that by storing thr griddle top in the house, wrapped in a heavy milk plastic garbage bag. Now, it's always ready to go!
Oh that's a good idea I used to take mine into the house during the winter but then I started using it so much that I didn't have time. But that's def a good way to keep it from rusting.
I feel like this was made for me and thanks brotha! I just left a comment a few days ago about how I got a new one. That’s awesome 👏
You're welcom brother and ya I remember your comment you live up north in Ohio and like good beer. I'll never forget a fellow Ohio beer drinker.
I just got a new griddle for Christmas and I'm a first time owner. I've been watching a ton of videos on tips and tricks. I absolutely love this video. Thanks for doing it . Can't wait to watch more of your video.
Congratulations on the new griddle Robert! I'm glad you liked the video and appreciate you watching. Hopefully nice weather comes soon so you can break that thing in.
I have the same 2 burner blackstone! Best investment I’ve made in 2023!!
Ya they're great! So easy to transport.
That's great information Johnny it's all about heat and coordination and you do the coordination quite well on different temperature cooked food great job thanks for your information
You're welcome Ross, thanks so much for watching.
Great info as always, got mine at Menards for $15. Did you get an egg from Santa?
Thanks Dale! Ya it was an early Christmas gift I got for myself about a month ago.
What, no beer?!?! I thought it would be the most important thing is to start your diet next week.
I know I shot this one in the morning because it's dark now when I get off work 😩. Don't get me wrong I've drank in the morning before but those days are behind me know that I'm a dad lol. Well accept for college football season I may have a few in the morning then.
Excellent points. Seasons Greetings buddy!
You too Todd, happy new years buddy!
I have a 4 burner Blackstone. Cook breakfast items on one side and meats on the other.
That's the way to do it Ken, very smart. When I worked at Bob's we had two separate flat tops. One for eggs and omelettes and one for meat n potatoes. Thanks for watching.
wait a minute that a BGE.. great tips Johnny
Oh ya I just got it Scotty! I'm super excited about it.
I used your Guide to Grilling Book earlier today and I love it. Thanks.
Awesome Leo! Thank you so much for purchasing it and I'm so glad that it has been helpful for you.
what emissivity rating do you use with the infrared thermometer for a seasoned blackstone?
I'm sorry I don't know. I just left it in what it came at. I didn't make any adjustments.
Well done Johnny great advice Thanks
You're welcome, thanks for watching.
spot on, great advice and Merry Christmas!
Thanks Claudia, Merry Christmas to you too!

0:48 who keeps oil in their fridge?
Ya misspoke. Thanks for watching.
I needed this, thanks Johnny
You're very welcome Brett!
Great advice!
Thanks Tommy!
Great video! Thanks for the help. My wife bought me a griddle for Christmas and this is a HUGE help!
Hey Kevin congrats on the new griddle! I'm so glad this video was a big help for you.
Its all about the heat. Once you figure out your hot & cold spots, it will all come. Only way to learn is to git right in it start cookin! Its really no different than cooking in a frying pan on your stove.
I totally agree! Best way to learn is to jump right in the pool(griddle)! Thanks so much for watching.
