NEW Adventure Ready 17” Blackstone Griddle: Unboxing & Seasoning
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- In this video I unbox and season our new Adventure Ready 17" Blackstone Griddle that I purchased at our local Walmart store. I also picked up a griddle accessory kit as well as the cover/carry bag for it. I will be using my home oven to season the griddle to get a more even seasoning on the griddle.

You save the expensive propane by seasoning in the oven. But close the oven door each time between seasonings.
That's what I plan to do!!! Used to seasoning cast iron pans, so shouldn't be too much different! Crisco shortening.
Just a tip for seasoning things. I seasoned my 22" Blackstone inside my large Weber grill. My Weber will get hot enough and it allowed me to season the top, sides and bottom of the griddle. No real hot spots from the Blackstone burners just a nice consistent seasoning across the whole thing. I've used this method for several items that need seasoning with great results. Stay safe!
Thanks for the info!
EXCELLENT IDEA...
What did I do without this for so long?2 pieces of French Toast at a time ?20 minutes for 10 pancakes ?NO MOREthis griddle is awesomeTook some time to season before first use ruclips.net/user/postUgkxHM5jmQoi4dbb0hoWSBs9hPhSwXUbGVG_ did brunch and hibachi dinner on Mother’s Day and it worked like a charmSturdy, well built and heats up quick. burners2-4 were a little stubborn but then lit up.Great addition to my patio.Bought the cover and it’s great, also bought the accessories kit - scraper is good but the spatulas are flimsy to be honest that’s my only negative.
Best Blackstone seasoning video I have seen. I seasoned my 17" Adventure Ready griddle with olive oil as he shows in the video putting the top in the oven at 450 degrees, doing the 3 steps and the end result looked like it was done at a factory. It does make your house smell a little scorchy for a day. Delaney did an awesome job with the video and was very clear and easy to follow. A+++
Thank you so much! I hope you love your Blackstone as much as we do. It does a great job
I used a propane torch to even the seasoning out. Just torch the edges and the walls
That is a great tip! Thank you for sharing that.
You will love cooking on it. Just for your info, it is rolled steel, not cast iron. But seasoned about the same.
It’s so heavy that I thought it was cast iron, too!
Just had the exact same grill delivered and I am doing my seasoning exactly as you did today...can't wait to do my first cook on it tomorrow!
14:20
That turned out really nice...
Oven... great idea.
Thank you very much!
The exact measurements as built were extremely helpful and, that alone made the video completely worth it!
MAAYSUREments!! haha
Wait... You can use this INSIDE your camper??
That would be GREAT (crack a window... gas fumes)
Thank you so much for sharing this GREAT (tiny) Griddle...
NOW I want one outside and the tiny one inside...
So Happy I found your video
We don’t use the Blackstone in the RV….just outside. I believe they have an electric version that is designed for inside usage
@@TravelswithDelaney
Thank you for that information...
Excellent
Be sure to confirm that the top cast iron aligns/fits into the base unit holes before you waste your time with seasoning it. I went through the full seasoning process only to discover mine was a couple millimeters off. I had to muscle it on and off by practically bending the the base unit walls .. Returned to Walmart for an exchange.
I never thought about seasoning these in the oven. Looks so much easier and a much more even seasoning result. Thanks for sharing your tips.
good idea never thought about it makes sense even seasoning
Great video. I had already seasoned ours outside. You are right it is spotty. So after watching yours, I seasoned again in the oven upside down. Now it is finished. We love it so far. Can't wait to use it camping.
Debated switching to one of these myself, but the Coleman Fold n Go works so well for us and it takes up less storage space. Only 2 of us. We have an electric griddle we use when we need to cook two things at once.
Thank you for explaining the difference between the Adventure Ready model and the older model! The Adventure Ready 17" looks like a winner!
makes a lot sense with the seasoning in the oven you save a lot propane and comes out even seasoning I wish i would have known. Thanks for the info
The perfect way to season that top. I am finding I always need to buy things you do reviews on. I know I have a gadget problem lol. Great video, Lou
I love my Adventure Ready 22 inch. It has dual burners which come in handy.
If we could have fit the 22" in the outdoor storage on our trailer, we would have bought that one . The dual burners would be nice.
For everyone avoiding the bad veggie and seed oils,I would suggest switching to avocado oil. It is a more high temp oil.
Olive oil is ok raw or below 300 degrees, but turns bad at high temps.
Butter and animal fats are okay too.
Awesome video! I followed all your steps and my BlackStone came out black on the first 30mins. I used avocado oil.
I use mine all the time. You'll really enjoy it. I've got a 17 inch with the slide out front greese trap. Works about the same.
We love ours too! Used it all summer on our 7 weeks camping out west. We even use it here at the house as well
I would love to see a follow up video at the end of your camping season on how well you enjoyed the Blackstone grill. I would also like your thoughts on the Blackstone vs the Coleman after having used them both. Thanks for all you do!
I just seasoned my 17" Adventure series Blackstone the way you prescribed and it turned out amazing. Much better than my 28" I did the standard way. Seriously impressed. Thank you. Subbed.
You are welcome! So glad that yours came out well for you. And welcome!
Wow tks for sharing, tomorrow I will go to Walmart, I'm impressed. See you next time.
Great video - You'll love the blackstone! I had a 22" for about a year, and just replaced it with the 36". Grills are still nice, but I cook 80% of my stuff on the griddle now! Subbed!
That is what I'm hoping to do...
I just one this griddle! I’m going camping in a couple weeks so I’m grateful for your video!
You will love it! We have had ours for 3 years now and love it still.
I got one of these on your recommendation and now after the end of the summer I must say I love it. Two observations: the case is a must to carry it. It can be a beast without it. I also pack it in my truck bed easier to reach and grab. Also I love the grill because no pots and pans. I’ve set a backpacking teapot on it for hot water. Thanks for the review.
We still love ours as well after using it all summer.
I just got me a new royal gourmet 3 burner gas griddle for Christmas and I love it want a smaller 1 to take camping with us
Going on a year now and only thing is the print on the front washes off. I have used it dozens of times now at the ski resort, disc golf course, and friends house. I use a plastic folding table and I have a BS soft case for it. Tip: turn the knob slowly so the gas fills the tubes before spark hits.
Great review Patrick! I did not realize there was a newer model with the grease trap in the back. I almost bought the older model by mistake. Thanks so much for sharing! 👍😎
Thanks for watching! I actually like having that grease tray on the back of the grill.
The unboxing was very detailed and informative. Almost all my questions were answered by watching this video. The only thing I would add is that you can disconnect the gas tank apparatus from the unit itself after using and it will be safe. It will not leak gas because of a spring loaded feature built in to the nozzle. Top notch video Delaney!
Thank you! I recently bought the hose so I can use the 20# tank from the trailer instead of always using the little green cans of propane.
Oh man!! Thanks for doing the due diligence in researching RUclips videos so I don't have to, lol! Very thorough unboxing/ seasoning tutorial Patrick, looks like a dream!...there's no way I'm gonna let Chris see this tho. 😂🤣😂
Safe travels and see you #ondowntheroad (at breakfast! 😉) ~💜
Not cast iron, rolled steel. Nice video. Weber uses ceramic coating on their griddles but food sticks it seems. May get one of these to have dedicated griddle for my outdoor cooking.
We’ve got the original 17” model. Like you we were limited to what size would fit through the camper’s storage bay. I like the grease catch being in the back on these new models rather then scraping grease toward the user.
If you ever find the spark igniter isn’t working check the distance from the wire to the flame tube. Per Blackstone it should be between 1/8 and 1/4”.
I watch this video twice. Just finished seasoning my 17-in Adventure Blackstone griddle. Did it exactly the way you described in the video. Looks great and was very easy! I had put it off thinking it was going to be a hassle. Thank you for making it so easy. thank goodness it was cool enough to open the windows! Ha! Now to use it this weekend camping!
We hope you love it! We use ours all the time and love it.
Out standing. Watched a lot of youtube on seasoning. Used your method worked great...p.s. I watch all your videos. Thank professor... happy camping.
Thank you! We have had our Blackstone for 2 years now and still love it! We use it both on the road and at home.
Well done video, very clear and thorough. I have a 17" Blackstone arriving today and will actually have to do my seasoning at the campground. Looking forward to having not only burgers and dogs, but now bacon, pancakes, and eggs, all cooked outside without smoking out our camper.
We really like ours and are even using it here at house. It holds a lot of food and does a nice job of cooking.
Flaxseed oil does the best job for seasoning the griddle! And cooking with it keeps your griddle top black and slick, and cleanup is a breeze. I use flaxseed oil on my 22” Blackstone and the griddle top on it is as slick as glass.
I wouldn't use evoo. The smoke point isn't quite high enough.
Just found you and I'm enjoying your videos bud. i'm a fan of outdoor grilling and I'm always looking for new products and tips.......THX from Boston
You are probably getting the measure of my humour by now and so I am so cak handed. By the time I got one of these things together, my holiday would be over!!! 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
LOL!!
Quickly saw the Blackstone on another RV channel so I searched it up and saw your video. Just wanted to say thanks for the review as was very helpful. Will be putting it on the list.
Thank you very much! We used it all summer and still love it!
Nice unboxing video. Just bought a new 17 from Camping World and it was the original design with grease drawer in front. Took it camping last month and I couldn't get the grease to fall into the drawer due to some alignment issues out of the box. I returned it but did enjoy the 2 meals I cooked. I think this one with external drip pan in the back is the way to go. Thanks
We have had ours now for 2 full camping seasons and still love it. We use it here at the house as well.
LOL I would love to cook on it but only being 2 of us our Coleman Fold And Go works great and this would be over kill for us.....but if I open a diner I would love one LOL Kidding
probably not. It's small and perfect for 2. It would be way too small for a diner. It's only a 17inch.
@@dfloro1 LOL :)
I learned about mighty paw car restraints from watching one of your videos. I think your two beautiful little dogs would enjoy look-out booster seats. I had some for my miniature schnauzers and they loved them.
We may have to look into them. They both love to look out.
just purchased one for the RV to !! cnt wait to use it
You can also do it on a regular grill outside to avoid smoking up the house. I did mine on my 3 burner Weber with the Blackstone seasoning mix. It came out perfect. Great video, thanks for sharing!
I just bought one and it is slightly different. There are “nuts” packaged and attached to the feet . No longer is there a threaded insert for the feet. You can also remove the grills flame control knob and store it inside as well for a smaller footprint for storage. For seasoning I used the three step, three temp method also in the oven. Oh, and before seasoning I sanded my griddle surface to make it very smooth and flat.
been looking for the measurement without the feet - do you have the height with and without the new feet type?
@@bethhoudyshel4057
I will measure it for you once I get to the boat later today.
A video with love! Great !!!!
Great video! Thanks for info.
I bought a 22" blackstone because our 17" was too small. Here is how to season a blackstone. You want to fire up your blackstone to 500 degrees and use flaxseed oil. The chemical properties of flaxseed oil are perfect for seasoning because of the polymerization between the oil and the steel. The smokepoint of flaxseed oil is about 500 degrees. If you are cooking in the neighborhood of 400 degrees, the other oils used in seasoning will actually burn off. I was able to season the new blackstone four times in just 30 minutes for a perfect seasoning job. It's all about chemistry.
Thank you for the tips!
When you say you seasoned it 4 times in 30 minutes, did you mean you heated it to 500 degrees using the propane then let it cook for 30 minutes each time or somehow season it 4 times in 30 minutes…not sure I’m understanding…or was it some other method like the oven? Thanks for any insight!
I seasoned mine using a propane camp burner, rotating it around to make sure all areas got seasoned well. Was camping when I unboxed mine. I love my griddle when camping.
Asparagus coated with olive oil sprinkled with Trader Joe’s 21 seasoning salute even people that don’t eat asparagus will love it South East Michigan
Sounds yummy!
You should also season the underneath of the griddle. I did mine in my Weber outdoor grill so as not smoke up the kitchen.
Good tips! Thank you
Great vid going to be using mine in the San Bernardino forest soon!
Next on our list! Quick question-do you think the top would fit in our small RV oven to do the seasoning treatment?
Hey you Roamers! Don't know how wide your Boon oven is, but looks by Patrick's measurements it would be 17 x 17 for the cooktop. (Looks like an awesome griddle, huh?) ~💜
Great Video.will be a good Father Day gift . thanks
Hope you’re both doing well Steve!
Olive oil is the best to season… I just got mine, hope my husband doesn’t suck all of the joy out of my purchase!
We love ours still! Use it both in the RV and here at home.
Just ordered one about a half hour ago. Can't wait for it to arrive. I will definitely be using that seasoning method.
We have used ours for almost 2 years now and still love it.
Thank you for this detailed explanation and video. You have sold me on this griddle.
Thanks for showing this! I like the idea of having a grill but I would also like the option of a griddle to do breakfast. I might have to check this one out. ~Carla
We are using this instead of our Coleman Grill this summer. We will see how it goes. So far we love it.
Oven seasoning was exactly what I was planning.
Good job Patrick!! I have the 22" on my Amazon wish list. The larger one because it will be my husband and 3 maybe 4 teenagers camping with us this summer.
Thank you! I like the 22” because it has two thermostats so you can cook at different temperatures. If it would have fit in the trailer outdoor storage, I would have went with it.
@@TravelswithDelaney yeah, I have to measure my basement door opening and see the same think but we have a 272 BH T.T so we could always put it up one of the bigger beds if need be.
Man those Blackstone grills are super popular right now.. may have to pick one up myself. I have seasoned many dutch ovens.. so familiar with that process... looks great and I love the size on that one. Looking forward to seeing how it works for you guys.. Patrick.. you are costing me money now with all the cool stuff.. haha Thanks for another great video!
Best time to save money, is during holidays, and change of seasons. I bought mine for $35.00 during 4th of july week. and bought my first one for $49.00.
Thus far... we have always made campfires for cooking on (we don’t even cook in the RV except for oatmeal 🤣) We do have a grill from our boat we have brought along on occasion... this seems like a great solution! Thanks for the informative video Patrick!
Thanks for that. I’m just done unboxing mine after a little kitchen fire. The Blackstone came out of the fire cosmetically marred but functionally intact. However the instructions burned up, so I needed to see how it went together and what I was supposed to do! (BTW, Owen of Van Trekking Lifestyle, who is a Blackstone evangelist, uses avocado oil. Apparently it has a higher smoking point than olive oil.)
I have heard that about the Avacado oil.
I like to season mine on the burner. The reason why? Every griddle has it's hot spots. This way I have a better idea where to keep food warm, sear and save. Excellent video tho. Thanks.
That's a great idea!
Steve. I like your idea, but I'm a newby. Do you season it in three stages as well?
@@akadrgadget I believe I did about five runs. But I didn't really let the surface cool down much. Just put the oil on as thin as possible and then let it smoke off. I can make paper thin omelets on it without tearing the eggs. After cooking, make sure you steam off the food particles and apply a fresh thin layer of oil.
@@steves3760 Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I appreciate it very much. Happy griddling.
Thank you for this. I'm new to outdoor griddles, especially the propane kind. Just bought one of these from Walmart yesterday and am anxious to use what you have taught me. I do think I like Steve's (below) idea of seasoning t determine hot spots. Again thinks for your detailed, visually clear video.
We have had ours for a full year and absolutely love it!
@@TravelswithDelaney Bare in mind my comment about the quality of your instruction, that comes from a lifetime educator. We're talking 46 years K-20. Really top level.
@@akadrgadget Thank you! I really appreciate those comments. I have been teaching at the community college for 23 years so I think that has helped me with making these videos.
Great video!! Now I'm hungry! Those veggies...yum!!
Excellent video, appreciate the knowledge.
You’re going to love your Blackstone, we love ours. Grab those dehydrated hash browns from Costco for your next trip, I promise they will be a big hit. My secret was using the leftover fat from frying up bacon 🥓
We are loving the Blackstone Grill! We've used it several times here at the house already!
Thanks for the great video! I haven't received mine yet but thought I'd see what You Tube had to say about it. I had planned on seasoning it outside directly on the flame but looks like I'll be using my oven!
We love ours still! We use it both in the RV and here at home.
I cook with all cast iron in the house, my grandmothers stuff she gave me when she passed, although the griddle top is rolled steel, with cast iron she taught me to use at minimum, vegetable oil, but also salt, add a nice layer of oil and salt and turn it on high, open with windows and doors, let it smoke you out and scrape the pan like you're sanding a piece of wood then after it cools you wipe clean and NEVER wash it, just wipe it down when done cooking, my cast iron is better than any non stick garbage at the store
Thank you for the tip on using salt!
"Never wash cast iron" is a myth. Back in the time of our grandparents when dish soap etc. was much harsher it could have had some impact, but once the seasoning has polymerized to the service you can absolutely wash it with dish soap and a sponge and then just heat it to remove all water and wipe with your seasoning oil of choice. Much better than leaving old food on your pan.
How does burgers and hotdogs do on it? That is the main thing campers cook. Can you cook some for us please?
They come out amazing
I love this griddle. A must have!
This portable griddle is so good that i stayed in la quinta last week i left it outside for a while in the pool are kuz it was to hot to take inside right after cooking and when i went back to retrieve it, it was gone, they stole itttt 😭😭😭
I prefer this small size but the dual cooking size of the larger models.
HOLY MOLY... I am so Glad to see this little Grill...
How much do you think this weighs? Is it heavy?
I am getting ready to move back to Albuquerque, New Mexico (US) in my 1972 Vintage Travel Trailer and I think this is just the ticket...
So Happy (I think I have already said that... BAHAHAHA)
Great video! Veggies for the first cook?? I thought for sure it was going to be BACON!! haha. Thank you!
Bacon would have made more sense! LOL
Nice review !
Thanks!
Good info. Looking at getting a Blackstone Griddle. New friend to your channel. Thanks for sharing.
Welcome! We have really enjoyed our Blackstone both camping and at home.
Great video! Thank you! I have two questions....never seasoned cast iron or rolled steel with olive oil - is that recommended from Blackstone? Is there an advantage over other traditional cooking oils? Second, have you cooked a steak on it and if so, how does it taste? I have a Coleman fold-n-go and just love how it cooks a steak...wondering about a steak on a griddle? Burgers and Dogs? Shish-Ka-Bob? Thank you!
Gracias
Thank you, very informative! Best video I have seen yet. I want one for my RV.
great video glad you researched the best way to season it saved me alot of time
Thank you!
I have two of the one 17 inch and a 22 inch my bigger one I use at home. The other I use for camper
Interesting, I just brought one and the legs came with a nut instead of screw in. But I don't think that is an issue.
i dont eat veggies. i bought mine to cook only meat lol. i already ordered im so excited to try cooking some burgers and steaks. and bacon of course.
We love the way it cooks burgers and steaks
Great video! Thanks!
Just bought mine today. Can’t wait to use it!
We still love ours. Use it both camping and here at home. Hope you love yours!
Looks great!
We have the same one in our travel trailer. I bought the extension hose to plug into a regular propane tank. We love ours.
We use the extension hose now as well. Much better than using the little green tanks.
Great review, really enjoyed you!
Thank you!
What did you do at the end of the video? Did you coat it with another light layer of oil after cleaning it before putting it away to keep the steel fresh for as long as possible?
Boy those Veggies looked fine! Thanks this is going to be on our list of 'must haves'!
We have watched 2 of your videos and will be purchasing a 17" tabletop Blackstone very soon. The only question I have at this point is whether I should get the hood. What's your advice ?
We don’t have the hood and are ok without it. Some people really like the hood.
Another great video! Thanks!
Thank you!
This is on sale for $80 at Walmart should I grab it? Seems perfect size for my wife and I
That is a great price! We love ours after 3 years.
Great video! Appreciate the seasoning in the oven; regardless of the "smokieness" you have. The overall seasoning quality overrules that minor problem. How difficult is it to dispose the small 1 pounder propane bottles? Seems that might be a problem, to me. I'd consider carrying a 20 lb LP bottle (the the truck) with an accessory hose, to overcome that issue. Very helpful video; keep up the good work. Look forward to seeing more of your "real life" B'stone Griddle vids. Y'all Be Safe!
We actually bought the hose adapter and just hook it up to the 20# propane on our trailer.
Do you ever wish that it had more than one burner for easier control of griddle heat , say one side cooler than the other ?
No…for us this one has worked great. I find the outside runs cooler than the center so I just move food around as needed to control temperature
