Season a new grill

[LabRat]

New to charcoal kettles, picking up a Performer Deluxe need some advice on how to season a new grill. I tried to search but this thread was the closest I could find

But something tells me I really don't need to "pre-flavor" the metal with a fine rub.

Build a hot fire to burn off anything from the factory then get to cooking!

Oh and welcome. You've come to the house of enablers!

Tell me about it - you guys with your accessories are as bad as the group on my Indian motorcycle forums. As if I needed yet another thing to lighten my wallet. I already ordered a PQ and got my eyes on a rotisserie ring.

Hey, is there any need to oil the inside? I know when I was looking at getting a Meadow Creek cooker, they talk about oiling the inside down and cooking the oil on.

I never have. Never a problem either.

No need to oil. Burn a hot fire to burn off the factory then cook. Food will build up your grease layer. In 20 years of the porcelain chips, then put oil on to slow rusting of the steel.

I second what @kettlebb said. I couldn't think of how to word it.
