Thank you for taking the time to show us how it's done! I only have a 22" but it still needs to be done guys like you make it happen.

Thanks so much. Took the scare out of it. I'm a visual learner. 😊

Thank you! I was in the restaurant business myself for a long time though I never cooked in a kitchen but saw the guys cleaning the grills and griddles many times... never paid much attention but what you've done looks just about right from what I remember! Thank you for your lesson!

Great video. Nothing like advice from a real cook. Thank You!

Just bought my first Blackstone - the small one, but this video helped give me confidence to cook and clean it. Looking forward to using it for all my cooking while camping. Thanks Kirby!

I have the 17 inch that I bought for camping. It works good, but since im so used to my 36 inch, I feel confined with space. But it does its job. The family love the food I put out when we go camping. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

This is the best video I’ve seen when it comes to cleaning the blackstone.

Just got mine yesterday and cooked ribeyes that night! It was great! Thanks for the maintenance tips!

Just bought the 17 inch yesterday @ Target on sale. I needed another kitchen toy to cheer me up. My husband & I are in 70's but I still like to have fun in the kitchen. This video on cleaning is the best. I have used cast iron all my life and never use paper towels. Old dish towels or bar towels are the best. Thanks for the info & I look forward to more of your videos.👍😊🦋

Mama just bought me the 22" version for my birthday. Can't wait to get started cooking. But first, I wanted to understand how to clean it. Many thanks to you. I subscribed.

Plain and simple. Thanks man.

I just recently purchased the griddle grill combo and I'll tell you its the best investment that I've every made in a grill. Very happy with it. 28 inch combo. I've already done breakfest lunch and dinner. My girlfriend of 20 years loves the idea of me cooking every night. Thanks for the quick lesson plan on keeping it for a long time to come.

Outstanding job sir!

Young man, thank you so much for that great step-by-step cleaning procedure. I just bought my son a Blackstone for his birthday and I'm going to make sure he watches your video and learns to clean the griddle properly. Thank you!!

I am so glad I came across your channel. I just used my new flat top grill and I was mad because that nice silver color was now black and I thought after I used the oil method, my grill still had a burnt look and I had ruined it. Now I know that is how my grill needs to look. (The season method will turn my top black). I am thinking about joining your channel but I need to wait until my SS kicks in and I get off of this disability income.

I'm late to the party on this video but this was best cleaning video I've seen. Definitely going to cut some undershirts up and use for rags. Great tip! New sub

Best cleaning video I have seen. You do it like me.... I have 2 Blackstone at home and owned a restaurant a few years ago.... Good job....

Great information. I appreciate you taking the time on this. I'll checkout some other videos.

great video my man thanks. I used a little dish soap before my initial break in seasoning but will not use it again. Thanks

EXCELLENT tutorial, thank you! For those without a large grill brush, you can use kosher or rock salt on a dampened rag to get a similar result. The large-grain salt will provide a good rough medium that breaks loose the sticky stuff without posing any risk to the griddle surface. It's an old cast iron trick that works well on the Blackstone!

Nice job, Kirby. I see so many videos on KZread with people using abrasives, soap and all kinds of crazy stuff. THIS is how you do it. I rarely do a deep clean...just quick cleans. And I use very little water. After a year, my Blackstone is going strong with a beautiful, shiny, black non-stick surface. Heat all 4 burners on high for 10 minutes to sanitize the top before each cook, and it's go time!

The best advice for a new griddle owner, use it at least 2-3 times a week. If you cant use it for long periods of time, at least clean off the oil and re-oil. That will prevent rust and issues for you down the road. It doesn't snow where I live, so I have no excuse to not be able to use it. I know some parts of the country, you cant. Just keep it clean and oiled, you should be good. Thank you sir, I hope it helped.

I did not season mine before the winter, mine rusted, but now I am cleaning it up

Thank you, I just picked one up

I wish they made one with a stainless cook surface like we had without having to spend $3500+. We used a grill scrapper and grill clothes which were old bar mops sewn together to make a thick pad and a grill screen. We were not allowed to use water. We had to use oil only. I know the night crew used ice on it to clean it but we all know that will warp it. I like your mannerism in your vlog. Good job. Thanks for sharing, Jay :-)
