The Blackstone Grills Flat Top Grill is the perfect way to cook outdoors. It’s like an oven on your patio! Through this blog post, you will learn how to ignite a blackstone grill. And you know how helpful it is to complete the setup. The Blackstone Grill Company has created a flat top grill that makes Blackstone outdoor grills for any occasion easy and fun! Plus, I’ll give you some step-by-step instructions on how to light your Blackstone Flat Top Grill.
1) Turn on your gas tank (or propane tank). Make sure that there are no crevices before lighting the fire, as this would defeat the purpose of trying to cook on your grill.
2) Turn on your burner knobs. Blackstones have three burners, be sure to turn all three up on high. When you first light a blackstone flat top grill, it will smoke a little like the oil from manufacturing burns off, don’t worry, though! This is normal.
3) Press the match or igniter button and let it sit for 30-40 seconds. Blackstones have a unique safety feature to keep you safe from accidental ignition, so make sure to hold in your button for at least 30 seconds before releasing.
4) Once the burner lights up, turn the knob back down to medium heat.
5) Let the burner warm up for 10 minutes.
6) When your grill is ready, you will see a blue flame at the end of the burner closest to the control panel. Time to start cooking!

7) Open the valve all the way open so you can see an uninterrupted stream of gas or propane coming out of it. You may want to set your thermostat if needed.
8) Now light the burner with either a long lighter or matchstick, making sure not to let go until after ignition is complete.

What is the best flat top grill for steaks?
Blackstone Grills Flat Top can be used for any cooking style or cooking! When making steaks, you must find a large flat surface that will give you an even cook. Many people use their flat top grill for cooking steaks, but it can also be used to cook chicken, burgers, pork chops, or seafood. Be sure to properly season your meat with our Blackberry Farms Grate Armor’s Steak Seasoning, and provide them a delightful crust on every side by searing in the grill.
The essential thing to remember when cooking steaks is your grill’s temperature. You want to cook them at a high temperature, so the outside caramelizes, and you get that rich brown crust, but be sure to leave them on until they are done in the center. We recommend using our grilling tongs for flipping your steaks to prevent any accidents with your valuable food!

How long can food stay on a flat top grill?
Always follow the directions and guidelines set by your operator. With that said, we recommend no longer than 30 minutes before you clean or scrape off any leftover food particles from your grates with our Grill Scraper by Blackstone Grills. After 30 minutes, the surface of the grates will be hot enough to start cooking your next meal while also burning off any excess food scraps. This will reduce the chance of creating smoke and burnt food flavors.
