    Also you want to scrape the bottom of the cooker to remove any excess grease. Otherwise if your fire ignites it, it burns the shizzle out of everything.

    I am releasing a video tomorrow and talk about smoke points. I dont like to correct the master but tallow has a lower smoke point at 370f . Other oils that might you could use are avocado oil at 520f but is expensive so next best is sunflower oil at 440f. Great video though. Cheers Al

    So what if you haven't cleaned the pit for quite a while and especially the inside of the lid and tank are flaky with run. Would you suggest that we wire brush it, then get it to temp and do the oil treatment?

    • @arthurcatalanotto1151
      @arthurcatalanotto1151 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Jack Wall, Please be careful when cleaning a pit that has a considerable amount of build up inside. I had an offset from one of the box stores for 15 years. After a summer or two of neglect, (just oiling the grates and getting on with the cook), I went to clean up what I thought was grease build up. I found out that the build up was actually rust when I scrubbed clear through the bottom of the pit. I will do what was just demonstrated by The Master from now on. I guess 15 years was a good run. Your wire brush and oil treatment you asked about might be enough. Good luck!

    I did this with grape seed oil with my Franklin pit which had been going for 6 hours, exactly as Aaron did it and noticed two things. First, the surface of the smoker is a tad sticky and grape seed oil will NOT come out of sprayer in anything but a small concentrated straight stream (tried two different sprayers.)

      You are gonna wanna take your thermometer out so you don't accidentally bust it. Depending on quality.
      I want 450ish-475. But my pit is not a franklins.
      When you see the smoke point of the oil, you are close. But remember, there are little nooks and crannies that don't get as much airflow. Even with a well designed pit. Which, his seem to be.
      On my Kia soul of a pit, gotta put a lil more gas in 'er. 😂
      If you do it right...there is no reason for a cover...that will just trap moisture and hold it to the steel. And if you wanna make it last forever...make sure to clean the ashes out asap everytime.

    My neighbor used to make custom smokers for smoke shops in Texas. The way he seasoned them was by lighting a very hot wood fire in the main pit and the burn box then moped it down multiple times with vegetable oil like you did while the fire was raging. By the end they looked like they'd been painted with black enamel. Dry to the touch.

    What makes sense about this guidance that I wasn't seeing from many others is the instruction to wipe off the excess! If one leaves excess oil on a cast iron skillet when trying to season it, then you'll end up with a tacky surface. Not good. If you put oil on it and then wipe it off as if made a mistake and are trying to get all the oil off the pan, it'll turn out perfect. That's how thin a coat one should apply.
