You can store your griddle after cooking almost anywhere, but it's important not to forget to put it in a safe spot. The best way to store your Blackstone Griddle is in a cool and dry place, such as a garage or covered patio and make sure it’s out of the way and secure from kids, pets or anyone else. Use a Griddle cover, and you might think that a cover is just an accessory, but in fact it can play an important role in maintaining your griddle and avoiding rust. In order to keep your grill in pristine condition, it is important to pay attention to the little details. One of the most important things you can do is avoid piling anything on the griddle plate and make sure that you keep any pointy metal objects away from it.
