That's pretty much what I do. I wipe the griddle down and lightly oil it before storing. Bout like my cast iron cookware.

yep, some as posted above

In case it ever gets really ugly...

Back when we were both young, poor (I still am) and willing to try things, a buddy of mine became a short order cook. I worked nights while going to university as did he. I'd stop to have breakfast after work. He showed me how he cleaned a flat that was in use 24/7. First he would use a spatula to remove all the surface stuff until it was uniformly without any 'stickies.' Then he would pour cold water on it and immediately cover the water with a thick towel doubled over. The water would steam and the steam would clean the flat griddle.

After steam cleaning, he would re-season the surface with a little bacon fat.

I don't know if this would work on a blackstone ('cause I don't have one) but I do know that it works on the stainless steel griddle I have for my camp stove. I don't use bacon fat to reason, but Crisco works a treat.

Just like everyone here says. Easy peasy.

Back in my early restaurant days we would use one of these with a little oil. Cleaned them up perfectly with very little effort. They would be good for several cleanings.

While a grill block will certainly clean a grill it will also remove the seasoning from the grill.
