What do you put on your smoker?

Robalo1 · 03-07-2013, 10:09 PM

Hello everyone, It's my first post. I have been a lurker for a while and appreciate all the ideas and discussions on the board.

I have a 7 year old Klose 20x42 backyard smoker. When I bought it they said to spray the outside with peanut oil. I haven't kept up with that, but was thinking about starting. I am curious what you guys do to keep your steel smokers looking good.

Planning my first cook of the season in a few weeks with pics. Hopefully I can pull it all off.

I used pam . While it was warm I would wipe the outside down I would do this every once in a while you don't have to go crazy a little goes a long way.

Pam while it is still warm spray it on wipe off the excess.

It's OK to cook in the snow, it does not mind.

Welcome neighbor!

If you have a jar of bacon grease stashed someplace... that works too -natural animal lard.

BACON!!!!!

Crisco is nice to use too. Rub it on while the cooker is cooling down but still warm. Gives a nice patina once it builds up a bit.

Thanks for the replies! Will it ever "season" like a cast iron skillet, or will it be sticky?

I gotta try that cooking in the snow sometime, maybe get some blankets for my smoker
