So I started the seasoning process on my new Lone Star Grillz PeeWee I just received (see other threads for pics).
I loaded up about 3/4 of a 20lb bag of Weber briquettes and some chunks of Post Oak and Pecan for the initial seasoning yesterday right after lunch.
I kept it at 225 the first 3-4 hours, then due to operator error it spiked to 300 for a short period of time and then back down to 250ish.
I check it first thing this morning and was down to 200. Opened the air vent a bit and it went back up to 250. Where it is now. 27 hours after I initially lit it without a single refill.
Seems to me that is one crazy effect smoker!! I've already figured out the temp variance I believe are due to the fact I didn't pack the briquettes consistently high like Chris recommended and instead have some pockets of space. I also need to learn to stop messing with the ball valve.
