One Quick Question

Okay really two questions! 1. Should i have my grills in the pit when I season it? 2. Was I right in only painting the outside of both the firebox and cooking chamber?

I just looked at a couple of pics of pits and the inside of the firebox looked painted.

Thanks!

It depends, but I doubt you need to season the grill. You may need to season the grill if it's homemade (like expanded metal or something).

You were correct in only painting the outside.

No painting of the inside! I would would season the grills as well. .02

I would never ever paint the inside of a grill or pit or any vessel that's going to contain my food! Paint (especially paint designed for painting metal) releases toxic fumes as it dries - even more fumes than galvanized steel under heat!

I season my pit by heating it up to a high temp and then rubbing it down with lard while it's hot - and then keeping it hot for a while after word. This creates a nice layer of protein polymers to protect the steel from oxidization. I have never seasoned my grills. But they are porcelain coated so I figure that's one less thing to worry about.
