smoker seasoning
by Carl
(Las Vegas, NV)
I purchased my third gas smoker and the sales person suggested that I rub the inside of the smoker with vegetable oil and turn the smoker on until the inside of the smoker forms a crust. He said it is the same as seasoning a cast iron skillet. No one has ever suggested this to me and before I do this I wanted to make sure that this is the proper thing to do.
