Griddle Me This

Okay, the Blackstone is getting a little bit annoying to clean, not horrible but annoying enough that a Weber Slate might be in my future.  

Also, two and three propane tanks???  Who are you guys, the prince of Qatar

Why yes, yes I am. Well, technically a sultan but I digress. Would you like a $400M 747?

What is there to “clean” on your Blackstone? I haven’t had to clean anything on mine yet. I’ve only used it about a dozen times. In fact just used it this last weekend for the first time this year and I was a little surprised it wasn’t a mess after sitting out all winter.  I do have a lid and cover. Basically just had to wipe it down with some paper towels. When shutting it down, I always give it a squirt of water and scrape it down and then apply a thin coat of oil. I had one small rust spot on the back lip but it seems to stay properly seasoned. But I also haven’t used as much as I’d like to so that may make a difference.

I don't have the hard cover and that seems to make a difference.

I have just been getting a lot of rust spots but really that is just at the start of griddle season.

Maybe I am just being a baby about it.

This summer I am sure I will get bored and give it a crazy deep clean and reasoning.

I was really diligent in seasoning it originally but it seemed like I couldn’t get the vertical edges on the sides and rear hot enough. Those are the areas that seem to have a couple rust spots. When it comes time to redo it completely, I may try using a torch on the edges. Because the 98% of it that did get done right sure seems to hold up very well.
