Season Charcoal Grate

[mobiledynamics]

I'm coming from a Ceramic Firebox so forgive the noob question. Did a initial burn in on my new WSCG. Obviously that nice protective oil layer is gone. I'm answering my own question as I type...no point in attemting to season the charcoal grates as it will burn off right ? I picked up a second grate so I have a charcoal grate in both the lower *smoke* and upper *grill* position

No need to season a charcoal grate.

What @Darko said. If you did a burn off on the top grate no need to do it on the charcoal grate...unless it’s new! I would toss some lit charcoal on the charcoal grate and give it about 10 min or so to remove the oil on it.

Good luck and keep grilling🤙

   No need to season a charcoal or food grate. The only thing that matters are you the type of person that washes the food grate after every cook or will your food grate never see water from this day forward.

That's a double edged ? For the WSCG, I think a little carbon doesn't hurt. Keeps rust at bay since it's steel.  The WSCG comes with SS food grates though. I have a new all out aluminum PK as well. I don't know if I will let the creosote build up on this. I might keep the PK ~clean~. Then again, ALL the grills on my PK are SS.

For clarity, when  say cleaning, just talking about the inside lid

Wait. What? You mean people actually wash cooking grates? That’s crazy talk. I’m lucky if I scrape off the stalagmites from the previous cook.

Yup. Me too. Haven’t gotten food poisoning yet. 🤞
