HOW TO SEASON A NEW GRIDDLE | My First Impressions Of My New Blackstone Griddle! | Fatty's Feasts

After 9 long months being "blackstone-less," I finally picked up my new Blackstone. I gave my old model to my friend before moving, and even though I definitely could have taken it with me, I decided it would be worth upgrading to something new. My previous model was about 7 years old and since purchasing it, there have been numerous improvements made to the base model. This specific model is a costco exclusive, so there are a few added perks you'll see that you won't get if you were to puchase this at Walmart or another big box store. Griddling is something I love dearly. Griddles are so much more versitile than a standard gas grill. Plus they are easier to use, don't have flare ups or hot spots and add a level of flavor you've NEVER experienced before! If you're in the mood to either get into griddling, or want to upgrade your griddle for this summer grilling season, you need to check this out. I show you how to unbox, assemble, clean and season your griddle for it's first cook. All of these are essential to griddle performance, longevity and to ensure your first cook doesn't go up in flames!

What should I cook up on this bad boy??? Let me know!!

[@shadyacrefarm1005]

Good job Josh. Let’s get some smash burgers on that Blackstone!

[@FattysFeasts]

Oh you know it's coming!!

[@siegfriedderheld7806]

Josh, you are a BAD influence!😂 I’ve had my eye on one and I think you’ve just pushed me over the edge! Two guys, a new griddle, a couple of beers, some bad language, and you’ve got a party! Stay fukkn awesome! Mike

[@FattysFeasts]

HAHA that's how it happened for me originally too! Found Todd Toven cooking on his blackstone and picked one up the next day!

[@nickmurphy9762]

super cool Josh! Lookin forward to seeing some amazing foodage being done on that

[@FattysFeasts]

Can't wait!!

[@SmokinMadeEasy]

I use my blackstone almost as much as my smoker 🔥👍🏼

[@CoolJay77]

Congratulations on getting a new toy.

[@FattysFeasts]

Haha thank you!

[@cdanielson1]

Congrats buddy she's a beauty!! I wish mine had the "shelf basket thing" I think that will come in handy and will be a great Busch Light holder. Mine has the paper towel holder and its awesome. However, the humidity will get to the paper towel over time and ruin it if you don't use it fast enough. Can't wait to see what you cook first!

[@FattysFeasts]

Definitely! Yeah I'll be sure to bring the towel in, I just hated leaving it on the table and it blowing everywhere!

[@peterdebrino8290]

About Damn Time!!!! Been waiting for this.. Oh and "seasoning" the Cook top is actually a chemical reaction called polymerization. This reaction creates a layer of seasoning that is molecularly bonded to the iron. Without this layer of carbonized oil, iron cookware would corrode and rust due to the oxygen and moisture in the air. Betcha Didn't know you were doing a science project, did you?? Oh Start cooking.. Let go

[@FattysFeasts]

Thank you Scientist Pete! When you retire, you should do that as your new gig 😂😂

[@Cooking_therapy_everyday]

Great timing! I literally just purchased my first griddle this week. Looking forward to see what you're gonna cook on it. Cheers all!

[@FattysFeasts]

Hell yeah!! What did you get?

[@Cooking_therapy_everyday]

Grilla grills primate, I can send updates and reviews if wanted after some time. I have and love there silverbac pellet grill. Plus a wsm and a kettle, we all got bbq issues right? Keep up the channel man, I always look forward to it.

[@FattysFeasts]

@@Cooking_therapy_everyday Glad to hear that! Definitely keep me updated!

[@BushcraftArt]

Super Video

[@FattysFeasts]

Thank you!

[@ctcomm165]

Get yourself some bottles of Schlitz for that opener.

[@FattysFeasts]

HAHA or whatever's free!

[@pacman_17]

That seasoning came out perfect. Now you can finish those L&L smoked burgers on the griddle. When I heard your outro about being diabetic, got me thinking. I recently came across Dr Berg's channel where he has helped a lot of people with insulin problems. Check his playlists, it doesn't cost much to get started.

[@FattysFeasts]

You know it!! Can't wait to make them! And awesome, I'll definitely check that out!

[@guilhermanacas]

JOSH! Just want you to know that YOU BETCHA youtube channel just made a video inspired on this exact video! 🤣😂

[@FattysFeasts]

HAHA I just watched it! Can't say they are lying 😂

[@chrisgabriel691]

I assembled my oklahoma joes highland reverse flow by myself and im a buck45 lmao

[@FattysFeasts]

Never listen to instructions! Be a man!

[@dennisschickling2249]

I thought about getting one. My wife talked me out of getting one. I not sure if it will be worth getting one. 🤔 Nice Video. #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY 🇺🇸

[@FattysFeasts]

Get one! You wont regret it!

[@rebeccapescador5848]

Wished I would wash this video before we figured out everything on our 😅🤦🏼‍♀️🤗

[@FattysFeasts]

I've had that happen too!

[@whwjr2]

I’m going to be in Nashville 6/17-6/20 next week for business. We’re planned to eat at Party Fowl Tues evening and Martins BBQ Wed. evening. You been to either of them?

[@FattysFeasts]

OMG I'm so sorry that I'm just seeing this. How was your trip? I have varrying opinions. I think Martins is "pretty good" but I've gotten terrible brisket from there before. Party fowl has also screwed me up. I LOVE hot chicken, but that place screws my stomach up consistently.

[@smokinwithskruggs]

Is there a way to adjust the top/grill so your stuff runs to the drain

[@FattysFeasts]

Unfortunately no. You need to position it so the angle is correct for it to run twoards the rear.

[@smokinwithskruggs]

​@@FattysFeasts that's a bummer butt not a deal breaker

[@BushcraftArt]

Juhu erster !!!! Kein 🤖

[@rachelgosselin4902]

Can’t wait to cook up some breakfast on this bad boy. Gonna give Waffle House a run for their money!!!!

[@FattysFeasts]

YOU KNOW IT!!

[@Rfx372]

Seasoning not completely set until you fry onions, refer to "Blackstone Betty" chemically bonds.

[@FattysFeasts]

It's typically worked fine for me without the onions
