Thanks for awesome honest content! Exactly what I needed to learn how to use my new flat top. Just bought this griddle and can't wait to use it (gotta assemble it first though) the uneven heating is a shame but it's a large surface and I usually create different cooking zones when I grill anyway. Even this deluxe model is cheaper than a new weber or broil king flame grill, so I won't be too critical of it's flaws. It's my first flat top so I'll just have to learn my grill and use that knowledge to my advantage

@@TheFlatTopKing I saw similar results as you. Hotter in the middle burners. The corners didn't season on the initial season. I turned the sides up compared to the middle to even it out. I plan to do another round with the top on backwards since I noticed the front seasoned pretty well and the back not as much. My main issue with the grill was the propane hose leaked with both my tanks. I robbed the hose from my old broil king and it works fine. Cooked breakfast on it today and I'm loving it so much. The side table was worth every penny. Now time to learn hibachi and fried rice!

I have the cheaper version of this griddle and have the same heat differences like this one has, so I am even happier with the sale price of the one I have. I build a lot of stuff, so the side table will be fun for me to make and make it mine if you will.

I recently got a new 36 BS with folding sides (#2177) with the new griddle plate. Mines too was rocky during seasoning but leveled out after that. Had it for bout 2 months and done maybe 10 cooks and its black except maybe a inch round the edges, heats really evenly. I can say my right side had no issues heating but the center is definitely a bit hotter than the rest. I thoroughly enjoy the griddle tho. Last night did a meal and it was super windy but had no issues so I believe the guards work. I think BS will phase this plate in all going forward. Definitely grabbing those seasonings. Coming from charcoal/smoking its def something I have missed on the griddle but not all heroes wear capes!

I just cooked on mine for the first time last night, same model. When I seasoned the top I used the Blackstone seasoning and the results were very impressive....an even black all the way across including the corners. The heat distribution might be hit or miss because my gun is showing fairly even. That being said assembly was a pain in the butt but after hearing horror stories of the units being put together wrong, not tightened correctly and damage during delivery I decided to build it myself. It took a few hours because all the parts are black. All the screws are black. The screw holes are surrounded by black and in spots that require you to climb underneath it where there's no light. Not fun. I did some simple burgers (I need some of that Smash That) and it did extremely well and yes, I'm a newbie. Love the videos and all the advice....it all works.

Congrats on the new seasonings! And the labels look fantastic! Nice Job on those!!! As for this new blackstone, i went and checked it out when they got them into Lowes little over a month ago. I saw the new griddle plate baffling, just didn`t impress me as much as i thought it would. And then i saw the price....$600 freaken dollars! NOPE! I already have a 36 inch blackstone, i couldn`t see spending twice as much money for the same size top just to gain a collapsible shelf. I don`t really need the shelf because i already have the blackstone cart next to my griddle already. As for surface temps, mine varies very little. This new baffle design they now have, i don`t think its going to make the heat more even, i see it making it worse. All this new design did was keep the plate more rigid and still allow some heat to move around. Mine has never warped, ever, and the surface temps are pretty even all across the griddle. What blackstone should have done, was install chamber walls between the burners like what Treager did. I would have welded the chambers on the bottom of the plate though, with small heat bleed over slots implemented within the baffles. Hmmmm,🤔 i might have to try that with mine! I`ve got a big welder, and i`ve got some material! Anyways, GREAT video Neal & Amy! You guys are my number one go to for griddlin!

FYI, just received my new blackstone, update on the grease catcher, they molded a round aluminum or steel nipple sticking out so the tray attaches flush.

Front right corner might be higher from the flame than across the griddle. Hence lower temps. I have the same issue.

Some interesting innovations on there. Like the quick removal lid, clever. It's about time Blackstone included wind guards under the griddle surface. The new bracing config looks like it should perform better, but time will tell. I don't think the uneven heating is due to the bracing configuration as speculated below. If it were correctly attributed to that then each side would be equally "poor" performing. I suspect the burners might need some tuning; either adjust the air metering to even the heat output or look for misalignment of the burner to the control (behind the knob). It's also possible since the store did the assembly that a lack of care in minding the details left some packaging debris to partially clog the gas flow. You know I've expressed a lack of enthusiasm for Blackstone because of their apparent targeting of impulse buyers rather than better build quality, so I'm not making excuses for them here, just throwing out some possible faults external to the intended design.

Thank you for being honest. This is totally blackstone’s marketing tactic. Over-hype with a bunch of social media influencers, and then the consumer gets the shaft end of the stick when they get their griddle home and find it is the lowest quality Chinese made garbage imaginable. I am ashamed to have fallen for it myself. I have always been skeptical of virtual advertising, but Blackstone really makes an effort to hire all of these “good-ol’-boy and girl” types to market their product and I didn’t imagine how crooked of a company Blackstone really is until I read an interview with their CEO and it became readily apparent that they are focused on volume sales, viral marketing and that quality isn’t even an afterthought. It’s all about the $$$. If a I had a KZitem channel and big money started knocking at my door, could I pass on it and keep my soul intact?

Congratulations on the seasonings , they look awesome. Sorry to hear about the uneven temperature distribution issue. Seems to me to be more of a burner issue than a cooktop issue. If the left side is good, why not the right ? Anyway, I’m sure you have more experience with this sort of thing than I do. Perhaps it could be something with just that right burner. Hopefully you’ll be able to figure it out before giving up on it.

Seems like it’s functioning more as a way to minimize warping than as a heat control. The wind shield idea is good, but those can be had or made cheaply. I do like how the Flatrock addresses those issues.

I bought the same version about 2 months ago without the storage doors (the model down). I had the same issues with the griddle not seasoning fully around the edges, still after 30 or so cooks on it (used avocado oil). I didn’t notice that this new culinary series actually has less BTUs than the other Blackstone 36” models. They say it’s supposed to get as hot or hotter and maintain that temperature more efficiently. I have to say, it’s pretty disheartening seeing that the edges of my Blackstone aren’t seasoned properly. It may get hot in the hotspot, but that temperature doesn’t transfer to the edges even after having the grill on for a long time.

Just upgraded from a 5 or 6 year old 28" Blackstone to a new 36" and seasoned yesterday. I ran into the typical issue of the edges not seasoning too well. Not sure if it's recommended or not, but just used my propane searing torch to heat these areas up and get the oil to the smoke point. My top now looks uniform edge to edge. I'd love to know your thoughts on this!

I like it, I assembled it myself because I'm a stickler. Took me about an hour and a half start to finish. Griddle itself is a very nice design, cooks great. Only gripe is the steel cabinet is thin, I mean paper thin. Why couldn't they use a little heavier gauge steel? The side panels are ridiculously easy to bend. Other than that it's been great. Love the side table, very useful. Overall I like it for 600 bucks. Would've paid 800 for some heavier steel though.

Great videos. I just discovered your content while researching griddles. With respect to the uneven heat, have you considered tweaking the air Gate? I don't know if this is viable or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some variance for each burner. I suspect these are built on an assembly line and not individually tested and set. If I'm way off, feel free to correct me. Cheers!
