The mice gnawed through the silicone cover, so that’s been tossed now, as it’s not necessary. Learned the hard way on that, with whatever I shelled out for that thing.

Left a light layer of oil on after cleaning/scraping last fall, and then covered the surface completely with aluminum foil. That worked like a champ over the winter.

No rust, no mice turds (covered & blocked the grease hole completely, and the first cook for the “spring” (still 40 degrees here LOL) was great!

picked this up from costco, black stones aren't a huge thing in the UK but I'd wanted one for ages so finally jumped.

we had storms here for the last few days so seasoning it was a challenge with the high wind, but got it done enough that i was ready to give it a go. need to do my corners and the front / back more, but will come with either usage and/or hammering it with my propane torch.

tasted mega and going to have a lot of fun with this. normally i do a lot of kamado charcoal bbq but wanted this for when we have people over as there's just so much capacity. don't come at me for my onions, I only like them really crispy 🤣

finally got mine out for the season!

bought yesterday on marketplace. time to get to work with elbow grease...im excited to finally own one.

I picked up a drop-in Pro Series from Walmart. The NG version was $200 more and out of stock. I have the NG conversion kit and was just going to convert it. I’m wondering if the price difference is just marketing fluff or if there is an actual difference between the models (venting, configuration, etc.). They look exactly the same, but website pictures aren’t always accurate.

The bottom part is partially scrapable-off. But in both places I am worried about scraping too hard. What about the top part - is this anything to be concerned with or how can I fix it?

Hey all just bought a used blackstone 36 inch forged griddle. I converted to gas and it works the way it should so far. My only issue is that the griddle wobbles side to side when the casters are locked. I’ll attach a video. Any advice? I flipped it on its side and tightened the casters all the way down. I checked any screws to see if they’re loose and tightened a couple. Still have the wobble.

My patio is pavers and it slopes away from the house. I’m not sure if that’s an issue at all but thought I’d mention it.

I’m assuming the griddle is just designed that way?

Using the black stone proprietary oil. This is after five burn offs.

Edit:

Sounds like we’re cookin boys

As title says, is this normal wear and tear or did it get scraped and ruined? Thanks
