Finishing my new smoker

[Larry Livingston]

I just finished building my new pellet smoker. The question I have is "do I paint the inside" or leave it raw steel?
If I paint it I'm am thinking it may have that burnt paint smell. What do you all think???--Livy

Leave it raw and season it with oil.

What cowgirl said.

I'd be surprised if anyone here recommends painting the inside. Once it gets seasoned, you won't have to worry about rust.

as they said, don't paint the inside just season it with oil.
