Hi guys, Jim S. (the one who started this thread) emailed me this a while back - I don't know if he is still with us but as it dosen't seem to be posted I thought I'd share - I guess he cleaned his griddle without a problem!

site. p.s. this stuff works great! jim s

may i send my broiler pan and griddle for blasting ? you can have a whole new business maintaining our aluminum bits and pieces ... gorgeous job !!!
Hehehe
Sure thing, Mark! I'll post 'em again right now!
Sorry for the double post kiddies! The site locked up while I was uploading (this site needs fiber or something!)
Robert, I was thinking the same thing! I've got to try out the finish on my griddle first. I didn't do a high shine polish on it. Just blasted it and finished with that steel wool you've been touting. It's not shiny... at all. It is very smooth though.
I'm tempted to try it on my POS Non-Chambers stove. But, it wouldn't be a fair trial, with the heating elements being so different. Yeah well, I'll probably try it anyway.
Seriously, would you consider doing some of our pieces? (for fair market value, that is - not asking for favors). It could probably pay for your investment and then some.
Seriously, yes I would! But, before I TOUCH anyone else's griddle, I've got to test mine out. I'm working on that right now. Trying to hook up with another local owner to see if I can "borrow" their stove to test 'er out.
I don't know know what the finish on the griddle is supposed to be. The results I came up with are like an extremely fine cast iron. Which, I think would be excellent. I would think that a super shiny surface would stick. Oh heck, I don't know! I just want to try it before I inflict my treatment on others!
I'd love to offer this service to other members! Fair-market value? I have no idea what that might be but, we can work something out!

Very shiny. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but once you start cooking on these, they'll turn brown again. And you'll go blind from eating off aluminum cookware. [img]cool.gif[/img]
That explains the shades???
I figured they were probably shiny. "Were" being the key word in that phrase! How shiny are they now?
Either way, it's not a problem, I can produce a shine. Perhaps not a chrome quality but, pretty **** close. I have all the tools require at my disposal (in my garage).
I still want to test. I am all for authenticity but, if a change in griddle finish produces better results, would that be a sin? Yeah yeah, I know... YES! Maybe? Didn't Chambers sell a shiny, bright griddle cover? Hmmm... wonder why?
Tell me people, how smooth is your griddle? Do you polish it? If so, how well does it perform afterwards? Is the polish merely cosmetic or preformance?
