Could not pass up this 17" Blackstone today. Online price said $51.83, but when I got to Wally World it was $49 even. After missing out on a $40 lightly used 36" on Craigslist by 10 minutes a few weeks ago, I feel slightly better. Started seasoning with flax seed oil and hoping it turns out ok. My last year of coaching rec football starts Monday so not sure if I'll be able to fire it up before next weekend.

I'd be careful using flaxseed oil to season that. If I remember correctly there were several people around here who did that and the seasoning began to chip and flake off, causing them to have to reseason the griddletop. For what it's worth I used veggie oil and then cooked up a pile of bacon and mine came out great!
Enjoy, that's a nice little cooker you just picked up! -

Like above, Crisco or grape seed seems to work for me, flax not so much.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Well now y'all tell me! I'll keep an eye on it and if it starts flaking ill reseason with something else.St. Mary's, GA

I think it was a suggestion from @fishlessman so I went to Aldi and sought out their cheapest bacon with the least meat so that was a lot of fat. Used that on medium heat using tongs to swab my 17". Threw away that crappy bacon, but it sure did the trick. After that every use just seasons it more and more.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

I used flax seed oil twice. First time and last time. That stuff is terrible.

@SouthGaSmoker that's a good deal.. I'm happy for you but Walmart will never get another penny from me. About 4-5 years ago they tried to pass legislation against all veterinarians in the country so f€($ them
