In most cases, yes-but it depends how often you plan on using it. It’s very different than cooking on an electric stove which regulates its own temperature by cutting on and off automatically to maintain a low temp. These flat top grills can get super hot even on the low heat setting because they use propane, which is constantly on. If you never heat your oil to its smoke point, then the polymerization process doesn’t happen, and the layers of oil never actually get baked on to the surface. This is the most important step to seasoning a flat top grill, and it’s the step that most people never actually do. This process is very similar to what you did to season it for the first time. When you finish cooking on your griddle, it’s very important to maintain the seasoning to keep the griddle in tip-top shape. A properly seasoned griddle has a very thin layer of oil applied that burns into the surface to create a permanent, hard, non-stick surface. The primary reason for a griddle to get sticky is because it has too thick of a layer of oil on the cooking surface. Our Flat Top Grill also includes a Lifetime Warranty while the Blackstone is limited to 1 year.You should read the instructions that came with your Blackstone griddle for the proper way to season a brand-new griddle before use. Beyond that they are both constructed from low carbon mild steel, however the Blackstone is made overseas using import steel while ours is constructed of 100% American Steel. This thicker steel provides greater thermal mass for quicker, more even cooking. Steelmade Flat Tops actually use 7 gauge material that is roughly 50% thicker at 3/16" thick. The key difference is the Blackestones use an 11 gauge material that is around 1/8" thick. There are some differences between the actual cooking surface as well. Purchasing a Steelmade Flat Top can be a great compromise that gives you the best of both worlds allowing you to choose between traditional grilling or cooking on a flat top.
Many people already own a quality propane or charcoal grill. However, there are some drawbacks to consider including the cost of a second grill, additional propane expense, and lost patio space. Having a dedicated, standalone flat top grill like a Blackstone is a great option for some people.
