Didn't go all out just got the 17 inch one with the carrying case portable for camping or backyard. Most of my buddies have the huge ones, my Grandson has the biggest one he even forked out the cash for some fancy storage Blackstone with a sink and everything nice.

I got all the extras breakfast set, Burger set, cleaning stuff you name it. Bought some marinated skirt steak to throw on it and invited a couple over for a meal.

My buddy gets there and I'm about to fire it up and he says did you season the griddle? Apparently you have to buy seasoning conditioner and do some seasoning process five times before you use it the first time. I ended up cooking on the gas grill as I couldnt go through the process as I didnt have the Blackstone conditioner.

The ladies were giving me sh.t. I'm getting up in the morning get the conditioner and get it seasoned for a brunch. I wanted to use Crisco but was told the Blackstone stuff needs to be used oh well cant wait for brunch tommorow. All I know is your seeing these Blakstone griddles everywhere.

    Nice! I'm about a decade late, but I think I'll be joining the Traeger craze, soon. Maybe a Blackstone will be after that! Still enjoying my old school Weber kettle in the meantime ...

    Cook on!

    Yeah Traegers or popular as well, just as our audio hobbies the things you can accumulate to cook with outdoors is also a rabbit hole. Enjoy that Traeger when you get it.

    You don't need any special seasoning. Vegetable oil is fine. Treat it like cast iron. And there is not difference between it and a gas grill except your stir fry and eggs won't fall through lol. I have a large Blackstone and a kamado joe. I use the KJ for basically everything except stir fry and brunch. Sometimes I'll do burgers on the Blackstone but I just love that smoky flavor so I usually stick with the KJ...

    Agreed. You do need to clean the manufacturing/shipping coating off before you season though...

    Yeah we have two cast Iron skillets up at the hunting shack that have never been washed just scraped and wiped clean and rubbed down with olive oil. I did find the Blackstone 2in1 seasoning at Wally World will start the seasoning in a bit instead of brunch it will have to be dinner. The carrot will be smoked separately like Ivan stated it might be hard keeping it lit🤣

    My cast Iron stuff I only use avocado oil to season. It's a high heat (500°) oil. It works very good on cast iron imho. Actually avocado oil is the only oil I use to fry. It has a lot of benefits for health
