""To winterize your Blackstone griddle, start by giving it a thorough cleaning and making sure the surface is well-seasoned," he says. If you haven't had a chance to do it yet, Watson also shared the steps to follow to season your Blackstone back in the spring. Once the griddle is properly cleaned and seasoned, there's another tip worth following for optimal storage."
""I highly recommend you cover it with a quality vinyl cover," Watson says. Blackstone makes soft and hard covers for storage, or you can buy generic ones, too - just tent it so that moisture rolls off and the vinyl doesn't stick to the metal. According to Watson, "The main goal here is to keep moisture away. Prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to rust, and nobody wants that.""
Blackstone held roughly 80% of the outdoor griddle market by 2021. A Blackstone griddle cannot be left outside or stored as-is for winter without risk of damage. Winterizing requires a thorough cleaning and ensuring the cooking surface is well-seasoned. Before storage, apply oil to prevent the seasoning from drying and peeling over time. Use a quality vinyl cover, soft or hard, and tent it so moisture runs off and the vinyl does not stick to metal. Store the griddle dry, covered, and protected to prevent prolonged moisture exposure, which causes rust and shortens the griddle's lifespan.
