Spots on new Blackstone griddle

[SmokingUPnorth]

Wanted to check in with some of the more experienced griddle guys before I season my Blackstone. I just put it together and the griddle has these spots on it. I’m not too concerned it almost looks like water spots or something I just wanted to double check it’s hitting to reach out to Blackstone about. What do you guys and gals think

Looks like spot welds but I could be wrong.

Yup, that's what the google machine said too...

Agree . Has a pattern to it . Look underneath the top and see if there are gussets in that area .

I saw the pattern as well - first guess is spot welds.

Once you get that puppy seasoned and singing, they will disappear!

Thanks everyone. Got it seasoned and ready for some smash burgers tonight

Yup, i was gonna say, just burn it in and start griddlin. All 3 of my Blackstones showed these spots. Its from the welds underneath the top. Burn it in and forget about it, it ain`t gonna hurt a thing.

Just seeing this, good to see you seasoned and cooked, I would have done the same.

How are you liking the blackstone? It was a game changer for me.

live it. A lot better than my last Camp Chef FTG. I feel like the surface of the griddle is a lot smoother and my CC would be uneven when it would heat up and drive me nuts. Love the e rear grease trap way more than the CC set up (which was the reason I bought the CC) but that was a pain to clean. Food goes quick once I start so I’ve been struggling to snap pictures haha

Sure does !! Importance of good prep and having everything you need ready to go. It cooks quick and people eat it up quick too!

Haven't welded in 20 plus years but I know a good spot weld!
