Ok......Now that I have made the decision and paid for this new unit, the question that I have is:
How do you season a wood burning smoker?
According to Yoder, you build a fire between 250 and 275 degrees and keep it burning for three to five hours with wood and charcoal until a sheen forms on the smoker.
Now, on You tube, there are also a number of scenarios. One is spraying the total smoker with either peanut oil or canola oil inside and out on everything and then fire it up and run it for 3 to 5 hours.
Then in one video, specifically on a Lang, the guy is spraying his smoker with a garden hose every hour while the fire is burning and then the final spray to clean it off at the end.
So what is your tried and true method of seasoning a wood/charcoal smoker?
I would appreciate the education on this one.
with kind regards,
Ed
