The stuff ain't cheap.. anybody wanna buy a 1/2 a bottle (joking)?
The idea of doing it in your oven is a good one, because the burners on the griddle aren't even heat, so you get the center of the griddle well seasoned, and the edges not as good.
I think I'm going to try to put it in my home outdoor grille, so I don't get the smoke in the house.

Flaxseed oil worked great on our Blackstone 17". I seasoned it on our backyard BBG grill - turned up all 5 burners, closed the lid, and let it bake at 500 - worked great.
Word of CAUTION: Blackstone's work so well, that you may end up being the primary chef for every camping trip
We love it!
