How to Season:
Why:
Seasoning your Griddle Hack XS prevents rust and creates a natural, non-stick cooking surface.
When:
Season your griddle when it is new out of the box, or if it is inactive for a long time.
How:
Take the Griddle Hack XS out of box. Coat griddle surface, sides, and the outside of cone very
lightly with a vegetable shortening (Crisco) or a high temperature oil such as canola oil or peanut oil.
Remove the grates, drip tray, and heat shield from your pellet grill, and place the Griddle Hack XS inside
(See Installation Instructions below). Start your grill and set it to the highest temperature. Once it is up to
temperature, let the griddle bake for 2 hours. Then, shut off the grill and let the griddle cool down slowly in
the grill for at least 4 hours before removing to allow the oil to set properly. For initial use, repeat these
steps at least once more to allow a good layer of seasoning to be baked on the griddle. You can add
more layers if you would like. The more you add, the better the cooking surface will be. Be careful not to
put too much oil on at one time, which could result in an uneven cooking surface. Do not remove the
Griddle Hack XS from your grill until it has had time to cool.
Installation Instructions:
Take the grill grates, drip tray and heat shield out of your grill. Place griddle into the center of your grill
with the grease slot facing towards the grease drain system. The front and back of the Griddle Hack XS
should set on the ledges that the grill grates normally sit on.
How to Use:
After griddle is correctly installed, turn the grill on. Once grill gets up to initial temperature, turn up to
225-275 degrees or to your desired griddle cook temp and let grill get up to temp before using griddle. For
initial use on griddle, use any type of vegetable oil, olive oil, peanut oil, or lard to coat griddle top lightly to
help the seasoning before use. Once the griddle top is lightly coated you may start cooking. After you
nish cooking and the grill has been shut down, allow the griddle time to cool off. Then wipe down griddle
top lightly with any type of cooking oil to add a protective coat on the griddle surface. Do not remove
griddle from grill until the griddle has had time to cool off. NOTE: Lower temps can be achieved by closing
the lid and setting desired temperature.
