New grill, just start cooking?

[jeremiahmercier]

Got a brand new kettle, is the general consensus to just start cooks, or do some burn ins or seasoning. It's a Crimson Premium kettle, wife also got me the GBS with the steak iron and griddle, and a bunch of pieces, does any of it need seasoned?

Most people usually run a load of charcoal at high heat at least once.  This is supposed to burn out any kind of chemical or residue that might be in the grill after assembly.  After it cools and you clean the ashes out, then you are ready to fire it up again and cook.

Anything that is cast iron does need some seasoning usually unless it is preseasoned.  I would recommend doing some youtube to learn out how to season and care for it.  I wouldn't recommend leaving it outside or anywhere where humidity is high.

I do a burn in, a full chimney and I let it burn all the way out and then I cook

Yes, a burnout like @ReanimatedRobot said should be fine.  Enjoy the new kettle!

...damn - what a fine looking grill!


I remember when my Weber Master Touch looked that clean!!

I didn't do burn ins or seasoning on my toaster, oven, waffle iron, pots, pans, or any of my Weber toys bought new.  These things are made cook
with and aren't caked with packing grease or dripping with machine oil in my experience.

Wipe the grates and fire it up. That's just me though.

Never have done a burn in on a new grill

I have that very same Crimson model. Yer gonna love it! When I got mine, I just started cooking on it, no "burn-in" other than lighting the coals for the cook.

It's a great looking grill! and a BEAUTIFUL porch!!! I'd LOVE a porch like that!
btw.... is that a Lang Smoker in the distance (above the plate and tongs)...?

May I suggest a mat under the grill so you don't make a mess on your porch? The guys suggested mats to me and I bought a couple on the 'bay.

Beautiful grill and grate lookin' porch and yard!
