Can you Store a Blackstone Griddle Outside?

Blackstone Griddles are made to be used outside. We love our griddles so we need to take care of them so they do not rust.

Depending on where you live, you may need to take some precautions when leaving your Blackstone outside.

Things to consider...

Does it rain a lot where you live?

If so, rain can cause your Blackstone Griddle to rust. It doesn't mean that it's going to ruin your Blackstone. It just means that you're going to need to remove the rust and then re-season your griddle.

Are you close to an Ocean or River?

Salt air can wreak havoc on cars and Griddles knowing from first hand experience. If you live close to the ocean or river you may want to store your griddle inside your garage when you're not using it.

If you don't have a garage you can also invest in a griddle cover. Remember to let the Blackstone griddle cool down before putting the cover on.

Does it snow a lot where you live?

Winters can be very harsh on grills and griddles. Snow melts and turns into water and then you're in the same boat as if you lived somewhere it rained a lot.

RUST is our main enemy when it comes to storing a Blackstone outside.
