Is it a sin to modify an antique cast iron griddle?

I don't know if modifying a cast iron griddle is a sin. I found out many years ago that scrubbing a cast iron skillet is a major sin. Yikes! What a ruckus!!

I scrub my cast iron every time I use it. Hot water and soap. It's still the best non-stick pan I have.

The key is to DRY the pan thoroughly after cleaning.

You cannot remove the seasoning through normal* washing.

*NOT the dish machine. Yikes.
