To anyone coming here for directions, please clean the rust off of your blackstone before hand instead of just seasoning over it...

@@pyro_1901 first off, anytime you plan to leave the cook top in idle mode( as in not using it) always scrape it as clean as you can get it while it is still hot and after use, then apply a very light coat of fresh cooking oil to the surface while it is still hot, then let it cool down and move it out of rain and bad weather if possible nothing can protect it from moisture as long as it stays outside even if covered up.

I have that rubber cover AND a hard cover. I think the rubber cover actually may cause a problem too, if you aren't careful. I had a little bit of rust, and I *believe* that it is because the grill wasn't 1,000% dry after I seasoned it, and because the rubber doesn't allow the surface to "breathe", that tiny bit of moisture gets captured between the surface and the rubber mat.

Thanks for sharing that! I think the hard lid for the blackstone is the way to go. I didn’t have any rust issues this season with the hard lid. 👍

I purchased that mat for my new griddle, my griddle had never been used, when I removed that mat I had rust spot on my never used griddle, that mat caused rust spots bc it sweats

Mine has a hard cover and I still get rust on the griddle. I’ve also got rust around the areas of the air fryers and I’ve never even used them. Kind of frustrated! I do live in Oregon but it’s under a roof cover, so it doesn’t get wet. It also has a soft cover sitting on top of it along with other objects.

@dresden6851 2 ай бұрын

Yeah me too. I went with the hard cover to prevent water, but it doesn't do a lick.

It’s a different material you gave to take all the rust off with heat and oil. Webbers are stainless not cast iron. Even a cast iron pot would rust that is left with water.

@Mixwell1983 5 ай бұрын

I know cast iron is a great heat retainer but seems like using SS would make things soo much easier. I dont have a BS but I do have a larger steel griddle topper for a grill that is super rusted over.. this is why I'd never buy a BS and why I completely stopped using cast iron skillets over stainless steel or even heavy duty commercial kitchen aluminum pans.

It doesn't matter what you cover it with, it's going to rust if it's left outdoors. You can't escape moisture/humidity fully.

@jelcyzyn711 4 ай бұрын

I just used that exact orange cover and it didn’t work at all. Gonna try and flip the iron over between cooking’s from now on

I have a hard cover for my griddle and it doesn't make a difference. I even cover the whole thing with a soft cover and it still doesn't prevent the rust.

@MaricelaFelix-zg4yg 9 ай бұрын

I keep my griddle outside and doesn't rust. Place a double layer of paper towels down, once it's cooled and put parchment paper on top or the rubber mat. The paper towels keep the condensation away.

@jbonilla9827 4 ай бұрын

I keeps my grill in garage and that fixed the rusting issue, outdoors you have too many variables that will inevitably build rust on any non stainless steel.

No. If you scrape it clean and put a thin layer of oil on it after each cook this won’t happen

no, the hardcover does not help. humidity gets in. youd need some sort of seal, either oil and repeat seasoning every month or two, or some sort of plastic coat that tightly fits to surface

i agree with a wire wheel to take the surface back down to fresh metal and start all over with the seasoning process, that griddle top looked terrible.

My gridde has the metal dome and a cover and still rust.....dont think your method f cleaning will be successful as we all know if you dont remove all the rust, it will come back......Blackstone should get rid of this type of surface and offer a Stainless steel replacement.....and make all our lives much easier....
