How to Season a Blackstone Griddle
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- In this video, I'll show you how I season a Blackstone griddle. I used Blackstone's seasoning on this top as it worked real well on my previous Blackstone. This is a 36" Pro Series Blackstone but will work with 22", 28", and 36". This will be my second video doing this. First one was a LONG time ago and was terrible, haha.
For those that don't know, this is the new griddle that I went live and showed everyone on Wednesday, the 18th. You'll see my laptop where I was doing the live around the same time.

Maannnn that pro series though damn that's sexy!!
(Edit) Hussey you speaking on you old video, I just had the thought the other day of how much more comfortable and personable you are in front of the camera in comparison to older stuff. Personality comes through and makes your stuff that much more of a pleasure to watch! Keep on keepin on Pappa blackstone . I dub you Pappa blackstone lol
Haha... love it! Man, that older video(s) you're right, just wasn't comfortable. It's tough to build a relationship with the camera.
Appreciate the love. Love the nickname too.
@@thehungryhussey Ya but you're all gravy now with the camera!! Much love and best wishes to you and yours 🤙🏻
Where can I find that blackstone? Can't find 4 burner pro series anywhere!
@@kjs6440 Trust me I've been lookin too lol out of stock everywhere!
The house is looking nice. That pro series is looking nice. Griddle is looking nice. Great instructions for all the lucky people who will get a Blackstone for the holidays. Nice job Baby Girl !
Appreciate it buddy!
Matt - I don’t own a Blackstone griddle (although I will one day). I watch your videos because you are a bright light that brings an uncommon and much needed kindness to the dumpster that is the internet. Thanks for that.
I appreciate that! You're too sweet. Thanks for watching the channel.
Just bought my first blackstone today Hussey, all because of you. Definitely will be following these tips to season. Thanks again!
Nice Matt! I like that name too! haha. Good to see you around my friend. Looking forward to interacting with you! Congrats too!
@@thehungryhussey Thanks Matt. Looking forward to replicating many of the videos you've shared with us.
Nice even color. Yeah, the corners are hard to get. I have a problem with the drain hole on my camp chef... never gets black enough for me. Take care Huss.
Awesome color on that stone.... Hurry with the BACON 🥓 😋 and finish off that seasoning. Ty for the video boss and gratz on the new pad and new BS. 🤙🤙🤙
You bet
I must say, I watched several people with different methods. Today I decided to follow the video step for step with my pro series because of the way he applied and let it cool. My grill after 2 applications is around so even and black. I was nervous as this is my first griddle but I’m glad I chose you man. Great work and thanks for the detail.
Thanks my friend! I’ve just always heard that you gotta cool it the start again.
Beautiful Blackstone HH. Lots of good memories and food to be made on your new griddle. Griddle On...
I just picked one of these up. Haven’t assembled it yet but will be following this videos instructions when it’s time for seasoning.
Agree with the dawn power wash tried it once now it's all I buy
You the man! Appreciate all your time and effort you give for your fans and followers my brotha.
Good one! Most people skip the washing off process in their seasoning videos.
Just wonderin' what happened to the air fryer version ?
Griddle on both stories of the deck...nice.
I have the 28” Pro and I find the back side of the hood hard to clean. At first I thought something was wrong with the hood because of how it feels when it comes to that spot where it opens really easy.
Congrats on the new place and new BS.
I agree, it was a little different for me too.
Great info thanks new place looks great 👍
Hey Hungry. Just love your watching your videos. You make it real for us part time users. Thanks buddy. Appreciate you and all you do. ❤❤🎃🙏🏼🙏🏼
Just broke the ice on the $175 Walmart 22” adventure ready with table and prone adapter. (That your Reddit and AMC) Little dude is smoking crisco at medium low. We gonna mate for life!!!!! My Webber grill is crying.
Also-the conditioner is mostly crisco.
You'll love it! Haha.. "mate for life". Love it. Good groceries are coming!
Just bought my first Blackstone and stumbled across this channel. Immediately, I was like "man, this is my kinda people right here." So started watch more videos, checked out the blog and sure enough...he IS my kinda people. Both Davidson Co. & T-ville boys! Up towards Ledford Middle over here. Subscribed & will be watching a lot more in the future. Keep on keepin' on brother!
New sub from Oakdale Calif...the cowboy capitol of the world....thanks...I just got my blacktop. winner winner chicken dinner
Enjoyed the video, thank you. Blackstone sells a ceramic shelf cover for the right side shelf. Might want to add it as it keeps the shelf cool. Not sure if you knew that. Hope your family has a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Best regards,

Thanks for the info!
Welcome back my friend
Makes me want to go out and do mine again 😎🇺🇸. Thanks, keep up the good work 😎🇺🇸
I’m ready for the first cook.
I’ve never saw it be cool when putting on and cooled down in between. I’ve saw keep it on high and do think coats and just keep building 3-5 times. Good to see a diff way to do it. I’ll try it on my next one or if I strip and reseason mine again
Funny I don’t have a black stone but I still listened the whole vid. Cheers mate. Congrats on the new house.
Love the new Griddle!
Here's a tip for those looking to do this: EMPHASIS ON LIGHT COAT OF OIL.
I was making my coating too thick between heating and it was a big mistake that took months of cooking to remedy.
Congratulations on your new home and grill 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!!
That pro series is nice. I wanted one but last year at Christmas Walmart had the 28” pro 3 burner on sale for 179.99. Keep the videos coming
i love your haircut! great video. i bought my buds a couple of balckstones. so awesome they took one camping in july loved it i was like wow
That is awesome!
Been loving your vids. was never interested in cook or like too. then i bought a 22 Blackstone for camping love it. yesterday i bought the 36 inch pro series goint to put it together right now.
N.C boy on the come up, love it!
Production in this video is as pro as the griddle. Love your stuff.
Looking good, Huss. Thanks for the nice tutorial.
Digging the new place man! Havent viewed in a while. Stay safe!
Hey, I’m new to your channel.
I am the proud new owner of a 36” Black Stone. Thank you for this video. I’m going to begin seasoning today😊 the hardest part is deciding what to cook first. I’m thinking breakfast for dinner. Hash browns, sausage, 🥓 and 🥚
Sky is the limit for sure! Let know if I can be of help!
Looking good my friend. Waiting on first cook. I got some of that seating couple months ago to try on that 2 burner unit bit could not find it. Had to fall back on flaxseed oil and do the way I did my cast iron. Came out good and black. A nat tried to land on it and busted his butt.
Perfect, I'm in the process of taking my Blackstone back to bare metal now.
Don’t do it!! I stripped mine back to bare metal and sanded it smooth. Now the seasoning doesn’t stick like it did with the factory finish.
Let's see your house out side it looks really nice
Beautiful season!
👍🏻👍🏻
Can’t wait to get a Blackstone, soon as we move early 2021
The new BS looks great!
Thanks Ben! Hope you're doing well buddy!
Nice new setup Hussey!
That's one nice griddle! 👍
I know this has nothing to do with this video, but what Dalstrong knife do you normally use? Keep up the great work Hussey!
Nice Blackstone another awesome video as usual, now let cook and EAT 😂
Yes sir!
Maggie: "Good Lord Baby Jesus!", "Can you please get to the part where you actually cook me some good groceries"
:)
She was looking for food to come off many times! Lol.
So you have to shut heat off and cool down between coats
You don’t have to, but I like to do that.
OK thanks I bought one last year second hand that was already seasoned and I bought a new one 3 weeks later for my camper that I haven't seasoned yet . Love your videos keep up the good work been watching since last year here in New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦
You can only like if you were in his live as he made this video 🤪
You pay attention well!
Great job brother.
Man i ain't never seen someone reason a griddle cold. Like your video tho. Nice Pro Series.
I feel it's the best way to ensure there's thin coats.
@@thehungryhussey cooler oil is thicker oil
Mathew.... I just noticed @0:42 when you lifted the lid of the griddle. Blackstone needs to come up with a different kind of adhesive for the plastic label they put on the inside of the lids. I have a 28" Rangetop combo griddle and the same thing happened to mine when the label was removed. It took some of the finish off when the label was removed. Of course, I don't think there is any chance of it rusting it is just the principle of the thing. You spend $400+ for a great griddle and you end up defacing it just trying to get the stupid label off. I don't know if you were to fire up the griddle and close the lid for a few minutes if that would make the label come off without pulling the finish off or not. Kinda late in the game to find out now since mine and yours have messed up the finish on the inside of the lid. Look forward to seeing your first cook on the new griddle.
instead of the Blackstone conditioner, I was thinking of using bacon grease that I save. I have A 5 yr old 36. Today I upgraded to a 36 pro. How do you feel about seasoning wit h bacon grease??
My ex wife really likes knobs! Good vid kid!👍👍👍🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦
Need to apply another coat of seasoning, should I still wool top before? Seems like it’s wearing off only on one side of griddle, any guidance ?
Is it brand new? You can clean well and then reapply a maintainence coat.
@@thehungryhussey Yes few months old thanks for the advice ,I’m going to try that. Thanks again!!!
Thank you for the Great video! I just got a 28” blackstone and I love it! I clean it every time after cooking on it. This maybe a dumb question. So after you cook on it and clean it do you re-coat it with the griddle conditioner? I normally clean it with water 2-3x then put a thin layer of oil for the next time. How often do you use the conditioner?
I only use the conditioner when I want to recondition the top after it starts to fade some. Otherwise I do exactly what you do. Clean it well, then a light oil for next time!
What’s the difference between the one you have now and the air fryer one that you had just curious
Still a 36” griddle top, just the details are different.
Thank you for sharing these videos. Do you have to do this every time you start griddling or just the first time you get it? When I clean at the end, I coat it with oil before storing it. Is that oil enough or do I still need to season it again in the beginning of every griddle?
This is the first thing of action to lay down a nice foundation for future cooks.
Hussey starts seasoning at 10am and finishes at 5pm lol .... you can see the sun just moving across the sky each cut.
It’s all about the prep. From day one things need to be right! Even if it is all day long!
Local guy, Love the videos!
Thanks buddy!
Awesome video thanks
Thanks Dustin!
What store did you buy that blackstone at and what model is it because I would love to get one.
Walmart should have them.
@@thehungryhussey Thank you for getting back to me so quickly I will definitely try Walmart.
Nice Job!
Thanks!
Can the top 1/3 be placed in a outdoor kitchen? That’s a good looking grill.
It's not quite like the OG models. I'd say it isn't, but I'm not mechanical guy. Haha.
@@thehungryhussey greatly appreciate the response! I love the looks of that one and my outdoor kitchen is sooo close to being ready for one
@@MrCarCrazy I just looked. I do believe it can be! Just don't have the drawers.
👍🏽👍🏽
We got the same Griddle

How do you get the soap off when you wash it initially?
I been watching your videos nightly. Even seen your video on 36 inch air fryer griddle seasoning. I got mine assembled. Everyone, including Todd leaves the griddle on. You do a traditional cast iron cure. Was wondering if you seen a difference in the two. Also how did yours workout?
I like the cool down process better. Takes longer but avoids pooling.
I am trying to decide between the pro and the air fryer unit. Do you feel like you like one more than the other? I’ve never used air fryers, the idea of having it seems cool but I also think I would t use it often.
I like the Pro better as a griddle. If you’re air frying a lot, the air fryer would be nice.
Great video, thanks. Can't wait to get a Blackstone. Keep watching for the sales. Any good buys you can direct me to? Melaney from SoCal
I see some videos where they never cut the grill off to cool and just apply another coat.Whats the reason for letting it cool?
I like it to cool. Because if you wipe and it goes heavy, the seasoning will not be even.
@@thehungryhussey Thank you ,you're by far my favorite griddle channel !Can't wait to try all your "good groceries" ...
Pro Series looks nice. All other seasoning video's say to apply each coat while still hot and not cool it down. Are you cooling it down between coats because that is what the Blackstone seasoning says to do?
I let it cool in between coats.
@@thehungryhussey but why? Just curious, not saying you’re wrong, just wondering what the thought process is. Thanks!
That's the one I have and LOVE it!!!
Thanks for sharing. What should I do if I had puddles and didn’t go thin like you? Any worries that I need to correct?
Well, it is what it is, but likely will flake. Just spot treat when or if it happens really.
@@thehungryhussey been about 3 weeks. No flaking yet and I use that black stone several times a week, thanks to you and your videos!!!!
Have you changed over to this Pro model now? What happened to the fryer model you had? I'm liking this Pro because I don't think I would use the fryer very often.
I have this one on the top deck and the AF unit on the bottom.
Which do you like the best? If only one, is to be had, which would you want?
Wicked blackstone brother!! And what is the song at the start of your video??
It's not anything main stream or has lyrics, it's music made for videos. I can get that info though.
Just bought the pro series. I feel like I used too much of the blackstone oil . Used a tablespoon as required on the jar. Burned off and left a brown residue. Anyone have this issue or did I mess up and need to redo?
It will leave a little residue simply because it's burning the oil. No worries.
@@thehungryhussey I thought it was a rookie mistake. Hibachi tonight. 2nd time using it tonight. Can’t wait! Love your content!
Where did you get your pro series griddle?
Did u keep the air frier ? Is this a better griddle ?
The AF unit is down stairs.
Cool ride Mathew! Do they make a temperature gauge you can attach to the grill?
Looks like it took all day.😀
Not really. I didn’t charge my batteries for my cameras when I started. So went off and did other things then came back to seasoning.
@@thehungryhussey i am thinking of getting the 2 burner w airfry its on sale now. I have a family of 4 and that seems big enough.
How much Propane did you use
Do you still have the black stone with the air fryer also?
I do. It’s downstairs.
How time consuming was it to assemble the new Blackstone?
Not long really. About an hour.
Hey Hussey, is that ANSI 61 paint...lol electrical guys will get this!
Haha. Very close Bill!
Okay, so I’m intrigued, where do you work?
@@thehungryhussey ABB just left and went to Nidec
Huh... Do I know you? I work for ABB.
@@thehungryhussey I worked for the Motion Group - Drives. You are in the ELIS group. We are networked on LinkedIn - Bill Imand
Ahh, okay. Not many people know about ANSI 61 grey boxes. I was pretty excited when I saw your comment. Lol
I have a question..Why don't they do that at the factory?
I just bought a 36". How long does it take to get it seasoned ?
Allot about 2-3 hrs I’d say.
Thank you !!!
Where do you get those gloves at?
I get them from Amazon.
Just looked at the ones I typically get and they’re unavailable.
Well dang.
I almost put a thumbs down, but I retracted it. Simply for the way you cleaned it. Why in the world wound you just not pull the top off, take it to the yard and bust out the hose to get all the Dawn off? And it’s nice to see that Blackstone has finally caught up to Camp Chef with igniters on all burners.
Like I noted in the video, the lid and top are together. Much different than just taking a top off only. The lid with the top makes it tough. Yeah, you can take it off, BUT there’s a lot of linkages.
Much less effort just going water on the top and going that way.
@@thehungryhussey My bad, I completely missed that.
Any chance you might be making bourbon chicken in the future?
You still have your air fryer Blackstone?
Yes sir.
@@thehungryhussey Thank you, sir!!
Let me ask you something (not that I necessarily expect you to know the answer) why do you think Blackstone doesn’t create any (or all for that matter) of their models with the grill itself made from 304 stainless steel (as opposed to cast iron)?
I appreciate there is a bit more cost involved, but who wouldn’t gladly pay $200 or so more to avoid the constant headache of dealing with cast iron?I just don’t get it. Many gas grills are made with 304 (including the grates/cooking surface) and require zero maintenance..
The only reason I have yet to buy a Blackstone is because I find it baffling that anyone would use cast iron for a ‘tool’ type apparatus meant to be kept outdoors. I actually use cast iron pans for indoor use but I would never even consider cast iron for anything kept outdoors.
Again, I don’t expect you (or any of your followers) to know the answer but I just wanted to get it off my chest (hahahaha)
If Blackstone came out with a 304 stainless griddle/cooktop I would buy it tomorrow!
Not sure the answer either. I’m with you thinking it’s cost, but I’m sure it’s more than that when you’re looking at the fine details
Flattop is rolled steel not cast iron. I’ve had mine for close to ten years and only seasoned it twice. The second time was because I loaned it for a church function and a lady scraped it down to bare metal to “clean” it. It stays outside on my deck with a homemade wooden cover and the Blackstone canvas cover over that.
@@lynnberg253 I will be damned...I could have sworn it was cast iron. Given all the RUclips videos of people seasoning it I just assumed it was cast iron. Thanks for the correction. I guess I don’t have a reason not to buy one now (although I still wish they would come out with a 304 stainless version)! Thanks!
For night time cooking check out this light. It’s really bright and has a magnetic base. May not work well for videos, but for cooking dinner this time of year it’s great.

Hussy how old are you bud?I got a question
I’m 41.
Why do Babe and Josh call you Baby Girl??
I’m not 100% sure. I call him that and he calls me that too. But unsure how it stuck.
I do know in some videos I say “baby girl “.
Why don't you just keep applying coats when it's super hot
This is me here. I don’t want the oil to pool up and not bond well. If it pools , it’ll for sure flake. So I like to get it cooled down.
