I was going to do an update to this. I assembled the 36" Blackstone Air Fryer combo this last week and seasoned it Sunday. I sliced my finger good on the air fryer baskets. The stamped out metal is sharp. They should have done something to those edges before selling it like that. The paper towels I used left small pieces everywhere on the griddle top. Read to use the blue shop towels since they are thicker and hopefully won't do this. If those don't work then I will get some cotton towels for the job. I seasoned it for almost 2 hrs and I still don't have the black griddle top. Should be using it this week sometime after I get the paper towel bits cleaned off and something to cook on it. Probably grilled cheese or cheese quesadilla for my girls....lol
