- Please note that oil soaked materials may spontaneously ignite. It is advised to soak all materials in a bucket of water that become in contact with linseed oil. Watch as JD takes this heavily neglected Workhorse Pits 1969 from rusty to brand spankin new. This video demonstrates the ability to keep your smoker looking brand new for a lifetime.
If this guy made content on the regular, it would be watched by a lot of us BBQ junkies. I started watching Lablogga TH-cam in 2007 and that channel disappeared. Then I got hooked on Quetorials in 2018 and it went radio silent and now I'm excited again but I just hope he stays with it. These type videos are incredible.
Followed this on my 1975 and it turned out awesome! Put used sponge with linseed oil in my metal fire trash can and eventually spontaneously ignited as you mentioned, missed the video note :)
I treat my offset like a cast iron skillet, keep it wiped down / clean. several times a year wipe down the outside and were needed on the inside with sesame seed oil and then get it as hot as I can to bake the oil on. Thirty years now and she's still looking and cooking great. 😊
I find I have to re-coat my firebox a few times throughout the year while the cook chamber seems to last all year. I like to use a cheap hardware store chip brush to apply the boiled linseed oil it as it gets into all of those nooks and crannies a little easier.
This is an excellent video JD! I am a neglector myself tho! Come see us soon!
Great information on maintaining the exterior of my offset, thanks
I live on the coast of Norway, it takes my 1969 about 6 months to get as bad as yours did in 6 years 😂. I try to do a coating of linseed oil while I cook at least once a month in the summer months, which keeps to the firebox and cook chamber looking alright. There are nooks and crannies around the collector, bottom tray and wheels (I have the old style steel casters) that I just can't get to though, so for the rest I've just accepted that rust is going to be a way of life where I live.
Grow this channel. Let see some building of the pits!
PLEASE NOTE: Like any drying oil, Linseed oil can spontaneously combust if stored or used improperly. • Store in Metal Containers - You can pour it into plastic containers to use while you are applying a finish, but for long term storage it should always be in a metal container
• Spread out Rags - Any rags soaked with linseed oil should be laid flat on a NON-FLAMMABLE SURFACE away from flammable items until they are completely dry
• Place in a Metal Container with Water - Used rags can also be placed in a metal container with water to prevent spontaneous combustion
• Keep Away From Flammable Items - Always keep rags and oil away from items like SAWDUST, papers, and other small, easily ignited items
• Store in a Fire Cabinet - Store linseed oil containers in a metal fireproof cabinet when not in use

Interesting. Where I live linseed oil is sold in plastic containers.
It is only flammable if you leave oil on a sponge
Great advice!
Oxygen exposure causes the reaction @@jonpacker4435
I have a NIB offset that i bought from HD, Nexgrill 29", reviews said the paint will boil off due to heat, is there anything I can do as a preventative measure to stop that from happening?
Is Linseed oil better than Canola oil?
Love my 1979! Thanks JD! Cheers!
Question for JD. Do we use Raw linseed oil or Boiled linseed oil?
We like the raw for manufacturing but we have the ability to bake it. Boiled is fine to use.
@@WorkhorsePits thank you 🙏🏽
Any reason we shouldn’t do this same process, but with vegetable oil? I have a 1975
Vegetable oil works too but you have to get it hotter. Like 400-475.
@@tylerpeersonI always use canola oil spray on my firebox. Used boiled linseed oil. It dries quicker.
