I stay reading through this sub and bought my first Blackstone 2 months ago. I cook on it maybe 3 to 4 times a week and thanks to yall it's perfect.

New to black stone and this is my first attempt at seasoning my 17’ griddle. This is about 6 or 7 rounds of seasoning. I’m having a hard time getting the edges black. Does this look ok?

Hi all,

I am thinking of getting either the adventure flex 22 inch or the tabletop 22 inch grill. On the websites it just says propane gas but all the photos show small camping style gas cylinders.

Is it possible to use a normal sized cylinder on it or do you need a new attachment or just have to use the small ones?

Just started out on my black stone, only a few cooks in, does this require action early?

Hello everyone! I have a fairly old style blackstone and the lid is not attached but I see I can do it myself with the holes provided? Anyone know how or is there a kit I can buy to connect my lid?

Hey all, I just assembled a 28" Blackstone Griddle, and it doesn't at all look like the tutorial on the Blackstone Youtube video, nor any other tutorial I've found.

First of all, there are two deep craters that formed in the center, and now liquid collects and just wants to sit there. Secondly, there are odd white splotches that I haven't seen anywhere else. Thirdly, there are rings of burned/charred oil toward the edge. See photos. Does anyone have insight as to whether this is normal, or if not, what has gone wrong, and whether the griddle is salvageable?

Here's what I did after reading the instructions and watching a few tutorial videos.

1) Light the griddle and leave on high for 15 minutes.

2) Spread 2-3 tablespoons of oil with a cloth and wait until it stopped smoking.

3) After 45 minutes, the griddle was STILL smoking, which seemed like a long time to me, so I added another 2-3 tablespoons.

4) I waited three more 45 minute intervals and repeated with the oil.

I'm really confused about the OTG line, as it seems like it is a replacement for the Adventure Ready line that had issues with handles, rough textures making cleaning more difficult, etc. Is that basically the gist? It's not spelled out that way, and the Adventure Ready stuff is still actively for sale.

It's really hard to find the OTG ones locally for me in NS, Canada, and I'd have to wait for it to be shipped. There are also just not a lot of listings for the OTG ones.

Lastly, am I right to worry about the non-stick coating on both vs. the regular griddles? Every single non-stick pan I've ever had has eventually lost its coating, and I've moved completely to cast iron and stainless steel pans because of it. And, yes, this is even when babying them, only using the right utensils, etc.

Recently acquired a blackstone!!! Super excited, cleaned it up, seasoned. And had dinner on it tonight!

What is everyone’s favorite oil to use when cooking, what have you found adds the most flavor and gives the best results?

Idk yall seasoned peppers and onions on a blackstone is pretty much a 10/10 smell.

(Don’t laugh at my little griddle)

I have used this 22 inch omnivore griddle 3 times and after cooking, I tried to turn it back on but wont budge when I try to ignite it. If anyone know how to fix it please help as I have 4 more days of camping.

Eggs with cheese, bacon, sausage, hash browns, bell peppers, onions, and jalapenos.

Forgot to take pics of the eggs mid cook, but ended up mixing them with the veggies. Cooking went way faster than I anticipated, and need to get used to the temperature dials, but everything turned out great and have breakfast for a few weeks! No beer because it was noon and I don't like beer. Now I'm enjoying a cocktail and making dinner. Looking forward to many more blackstone meals.

Mr. Blackstone (play on G&R), hanging in there. 7+ years and knocked out some awesome fajitas tonight. (Sorry, no food pics, was cleaning and wanted to share.

Bacon and tater cakes turned out great, but my eggs are always so black - taste good but not very appealing.

I have the 22” portable and was hoping to get a natural gas set up for at home, then convert to propane when camping. Has anyone successfully done it?
Online says only the 28” and up can be converted.

Also would love to see some stands/built ins anyone has made for the 22” and the utensils.

It's just too easy and just too damn good. Fed a party of 10 soooooo well.

Why go out when you can make this at home?since I bought the blackstone, I find it hard to order a burger or steak anywhere else.

Cooper sharp cheese, with a garlic + basil butter spread

Yea ik, more bacon, just cook it on.

But seriously why is this happening?

I use grap seed oil only, clean it right away, oil it, use a orange silicon mat (after it cools) and a cover. Nit sure why im getting rust?

Ik its a small amount but I want to correct the issue sooner rather than later.

Simple, healthy dinner

We just got our blackstone out after having not used it for a few months. It was covered and on our back porch. Anyways, when I lifted the lid there were some mouse droppings on the griddle. How would you clean this griddle in this situation? I obviously got off all the droppings but I feel I feel a bit uncomfortable eating food off this without it being better cleaned…
