New smokey mounttain 22 1/2
ok so ive been following this site for a little bit now and finally got my 22 1/2 SM for x-mass. but ive been out of town this whole time and just got home and have som questions.
do i have to break it in how do i break it in |
The best way to break it in is to cook a pork butt. I do not believe they have to be broken in but will run a little hot until the inside gets gunked uo and seals all the air leaks. Enjoy they are great cookers.
|
I would just lightly wipe it out and start cooking. They don't require any seasoning.
|
It doesn't need to be seasoned. Clean it up, and start cooking. It may run a little hot for the first couple of cooks because of the high gloss on the surface reflecting radiant heat.
Now get it dirty. |
I washed the cooking grate, wiped the inside clean with a wet rag, let it dry, sprayed canola oil all over the inside, lit a fire, added chickens, ribs and a picnic, a little hickory chunks and called it good. Part of the seasoning process is get somewhere and buy a Foodsaver and lots of bags. Your gonna need them. Welcome to the addiction. We understand.

Load that jewel up with four to six butts and let her rip!

No seasoning is needed. You will want to wash it out with some dish-soap and water, to remove any manufacturing oils -- or you can burn them out if you want to waste fuel.
The main purpose of "seasoning" a cooker is to seal the metal and prevent rust. Weber grills are porcelain-enamel coated, so "seasoning" isn't really necessary. CD |
Just keep cooking on it. Gets better as you go.
