Should I re-season?

Hello all,

I just unloaded my new smoker, well new to me and my first. It's a NB Bandera. I took a chance and bought this sight unseen cause it seemed to be a good deal. It's the old style with the heavy metal.

I cleaned it out. The seller met me half way but had not cleaned out any ash. It was all over!

The smoker is in pretty good shape but the racks and box are kind of sticky. I have no idea what he cooked in it.

I was thinking a good hot fire and then a re-season might be a good thing to do. Does any one have a suggestion on how to do this, should I do this, and what kind on oil would I use,

I am unable to post a photo right now, sorry about that.

Thanks, Jim

Chris, thanks for the tip, will start that tomorrow. Wasn't sure about using a pressure washer but I do have one so I might try it. Thanks

And to the Grand Poobah, Thank you too.
