Official Outdoor Griddle Thread

[No-Tox]

I’ve been wanting to get a griddle for some time.. low and behold looking on Facebook one day, someone was giving one away! I just so happened to be the first person to message them that they could pick it up right then! The only thing that doesn’t work on it is the electric light, guy said it never worked. Upon unscrewing the button, there isn’t a metal piece on the button side that completes the circuit on the battery.

So check it out in the rents back yard (it will be staying here until I build a house):


The pic from Facebook:


I got a tool kit from academy, scraped it cold and got a ton of rust off of it. Then I got it super hot and put canola oil on it. And scrapped it again. Repeated that process about three times. Then I cooked a whole pack of bacon on it. On Father’s Day I had 16 burgers on it and the cooked another pack of bacon on it.
After each time I cook on it I squirt water on it from bottle while it’s super hot and use a rag to wipe it all down, then use a paper towel and canola oil and wipe it down again.
It cooks but it doesn’t look pretty. What would be the easiest way to get it down to bare metal so I can re-season it?
Black stone put out a video using a grill stone? Have any of y’all used one before? Any special trick or tips to strip down and re-season?

I’m excited to get to cooking on it! Blackened some dang fine trout on it tonight!

I’ve been watching this thread for a while. Fine. I’ll play. Seasoned after church. (Kinda). It’ll be bacon grilled cheese and tomato sandwiches for tonight. (I’m trying mine with an egg as was posted long ago).

haha! Dang! wish I had your recipe when I seasoned mine! I only used vegetable oil!

It’s a simple method that I’ve developed with much research and trial (no error).
1) season griddle
2) place a pig-load of bacon on and heat
3) sample often
4) remove bacon and enjoy
5) wipe griddle down

Cooked the first meal on my new griddle.... bacon, fried eggs, pan sausage, and Tx toast. Nothing fancy but it was a good test run.

That’s about the best way to start it all off.

We’ve been doing biscuits on ours frequently.

I cook on mine 4 times a week or so

Just on the top or an oven type set up on the top?

Breakfast is my favorite meal to do on the griddle... You can cook all those things at the same time and it's all hot and delicious as it comes off the griddle and onto the plate together.

Cover with a disposable aluminum pan set em on a cooling rack on top of the griddle when finished if need be.
