I appreciate you taking the time to show us how to season a grill. I love your videos. Keep them coming. You and your family stay safe during this 2020 pandemic. God Bless!
Thank you for watching our videos. We will keep them coming for sure. We are all well over here and I hope that you and your family are healthy. God bless you too VJ.
Literally started seasoning 45mins ago while listening to some other idiot give his block of instructions until I realized something ain't right. Thankfully I found your channel and saw the video and moved my coala from the main grill to the smoker( it was a significant emotional event). Thankfully, I did it and now I'm watching this thing season properly. THANKS FOR UPLOADING THIS. THIS SAVED ME FROM A LOT OF HEARTACHE
I just bought the charcoal version of this (no side box). Interesting because the instructions tell you how to season it - which I never heard of. I noticed that there is a lot of smoke coming out of the grill when in use. I really like the idea of the insulation! Thanks for that.
Thank you brother! Just put my grill together and was looking for an easy way to season it. Your video made the process go very smoothly and grill smells great!! Lol Thanks again
I seasoned my blackstone and didn't use it for a year and no rust. Just bought the smoking champ 2 days ago and put it together yesterday. Im gonna season mines tomorrow
Awesome Dad, I noticed the Fire Fighters Cross on your hat, Salute Sir. I appreciate your service as well as the “How to” video. Life never ends for a Dad until we are gone, pass on the knowledge to your kids, they will appreciate it later in life. Again, Salute and Thank you for all you do.
I watched so many videos trying to figure out the time length on how long to let my smoker burn while seasoning. Do I really have to wait for 6 hrs. Before I drop some meat on it or is two hrs. Good enough???
great video man. Ive been looking into smokers and your videos have help me make the decision to buy this model and add your upgrades. Keep up the great content, Cheers!
Great video. Thanks. I would add to make sure you dont mind oil dripping on the surface below the grill since it will definitely drip! I made the mistake of doing this somewhere other than the permanent location for the grill and stupidly and accidentally let it drip on my new patio. Lol. happy thanksgiving!
You made an amazing video full of awesome information. The only thing I would have done differently would be to use lump charcoal for the seasoning because briquets are full of such poisonous by products such as benzine in some scary brands. Again that's just me because i'm charcoal bias and only use lump. Again great video.
Question I got a brand new double grill gas and charcoal to season it do I just put the mixture on the manufacturers oil or do I have to burn off the manufactures oil first and then put the mixture?
This is Tim Williams;Good demonstration on seasoning the grill. I also see that you've done some modifications on your smoker. Look forward to see you do Ribs as well as hamburgers and hot dogs 🌭 please do more thank you
Nice. So I ended up taking taking the bricks and baffles out and I decided to also use it for charcoal cooking. Works great for both. All you have to do is turn the charcoal holder upside down when doing a smoke and this works as the perfect baffle. The. turn it right side up when cooking with Charcoal. Good luck and keep us posted.
I did this for 5 hours and my grill looks the same as before I tried seasoning it. Did I do something wrong? My temperatures kept fluctuating, is that it?
What model is that char-griller ? Is it the char griller 2137 outlaw with the 1063 sq-inch total cooking area OR the char-griller 1224 with 830 sq-inch total cooking area
Theresa Jerry. So you can still bbq with the Charcoal and you can get some smoking with indirect cooking but it would do lower temp smoking without the side burner
Hello there my name is Tim and I understand you did some modifications on your Char-Grill. I was wondering if you applied bbq gasket on your Charcoal Grill? Please let me know thank you Tim
Question: i just purchased the chargriller akorn. Cooked on it monday and shut it all up: and waited for the rain to quit. Got bavk to it friday. Removed bottom pan and it was full of water And grates were all rusted. I seasoned them when i first got it. Why do i have water in pan and rusted grills
What all did you do to the smoker? Did it come out of the box with the 3 temperature gauges? Did it come with the bricks? What are the bricks for? Did the baffles come with the smoker? Thanks.
Just bought a char griller smoker I like your idea with the thermometers on the sides of the smoker, the sealent I am looking on Amazon right now to get that stripping
So if you buy one from the store, then season the iron grates only amd then cook burgers on it what does it do to the meat? You mainly put in hot coals after oiling and let them burn out then repeat once?
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I fell off a retaining wall and broke my ankle so I've dealing with that. So yes, our other friend commented to spray the grates the next time. That is totally fine. I just costed the entire bbq because I wanted a good coating seal and so far I haven't had anything stick in a year. If you season your bbq well the first time, it will last much longer. You may just have to season your grates a little more often. I spray my grates every time I cook anyway. Good luck and let us know how things are going.
@@thedadlifechannel6038 oh man no problem at all. Yeah I just seasoned them again before this last cook. I cooked pork ribs this last time. 9 hours of cooking 1 hour of devouring.
I'm not sure. The brick are standard bricks from Home Depot. I took the baffle plates out and now just turn the charcoal grate upside down and scoot the grate to the firebox side. This seems to work really well.
The Dad Life Channel Could you do an updated quick video? Love your channel and what you are doing. Thank you so much for posting. I bought the same grill based on your video. I’m getting ready to season it this weekend.
I wanted the smoke to have to work to get out so with the vent almost right on the grill the while chamber fills with smoke and then has to drop down in order to go out. I love it and it does really well.
I wanted to say thank you for the video also I just bought my first Char-Griller smoker. What do you recommend for first time smoker like myself the same steps?
Glad to hear you bought a Char Griller. I love mine. My advise is this. Make sure you give it a good season. I have a video on that. Just turn the charcoal grate upside down and push it over to the smoker side for the smoking. Then flip it over to do the charcoal cooking. Have fun and experiment. It's really about trial and error and finding what you like. I have several cooking videos if you want to try some good stuff to cook and eat. Good luck my friend and let me know how it goes.
I did. I dried everything really well before I seasoned it. A lot of people say to never wash with soap and water but I did it and I feel ok about it. I only did it the one time but was able to get all of the gunk off.
Purchased this grill 2 weeks ago, but constant rain has kept me from using. I will follow your instructions on seasoning as well as some of the upgrades you made. Thanks!
Awesome. So I want you to do something. Dont bother going to the store to get baffle material. Save the money. Take your charcoal grate and flip it over and this is a much better baffle. There are 3 bolts that hold your smoker box to the grill. Rest one side into these 3 bolts and the other side will just sit on the bottom. Works much better than what I did in our first mod video. No need for the bricks either. Wrap your whole grill with tin foil also. This will help keep things clean and it's really easy to change out. Just make sure you push your finger through the drain hole. The gauges are awesome and the seal works wonders. Also, empty your firebox between each cook. It's good to get a woodstove style magnet gauge for the firebox. I like to get my fire at about 700 degrees and keeps everything cooking even and constant. You will have to try things out and find out what works for you. Good luck. Keep me posted.
Ryan Kingsley. You are probably right. I just decide to season everything. I figured it couldn't hurt and it really made things easy to wipe out that falls through the grates. I also figured that the whole unit will be filling with heat and smoke so I want that continuous flavor flowing through the unit. I'm sure just doing the grates will be fine.
I second that. I was just gifted the the upgraded model version of the model in your video but I would like to know how these smokers/grill hold up over time. Any issues with the firebox and discoloration,? As this seems like a common complaint in reviews online.
We just got our new editing software and can post videos again finally. We will have an update video by next week. I've had to repaint the firebox once. It's been a year and I have to do it again. My firebox metal gets up to 800 degrees and I dont know of any paint that will hold up to that.
so i got the same bbq last year and didn't season it when i got it and the inside is a bit rusty whats the best way to get rid of the rust to get it ready for me to season it?
Rust needs iron oxygen and water. Clean rusty bits with a flap wheel or sand papering by hand, then wash with strong detergent to get as clean as possible. Let it dry completely then season as shown. Baste rusted areas several times during process to get a really good coating. This should seal the surface so water and air shouldn’t be able to get to the steel (iron). Repeating the seasoning will build up the coating so it might be a good idea to do it at each end of the BBQ “season” (real outdoor cooks just keep on keeping on!)
I just purchased my first smoker and I am watching a number of these videos. For someone that is a complete novice, I noticed that several others have also used bacon grease, but you are the only one that I have seen that uses Olive Oil. Most use Canola due to its much higher smoke temp. Is there a specific reason that you use Olive oil rather than Canola?
Thanks for the tips will be doing this to my Char griller soon, question I have is: Do you ever season the outside/exterior of the grill? I've read comments about the exterior rusting from the elements, even though it's under the cover
Do You Washout The Grill And Let It Dry Before You Oil It Down ? It Has The Particles And Residue From The Manufacturer And Duar Inside Or Do You Wash It Out After You Oil It ?
I did wash everything out with soap and water the first time. I then dried everything well. Then I did a burn off fire and get the smells out. Then cooled it and oiled everything. It's a process but works really well. After that you wont have to wash it again.
Two months ago I bought a King Griller. Missing and bent pieces. The manufacturer promised to take care of the problems with bent legs and other bent metal lid. They said it is in the mail. Tried to call back and no answer at all. I went to back to Lowes to purchase parts to fix it better. No, I did not return or ask for return, refund or exchange. I didn't realize it was made in China. I should have looked first for where it was made in what country.
BillyD003. I don't think so but don't know for sure. I've seen many other people that used and recommended that product. I know that it holds up well. I only had to apply it once and it's still holding after probably 50 cook offs
I would say more than a 3rd. We are going to do an update video of the mods. We made some changes that made things easier and better and I started using charcoal as well. The bbq is awesome.
I love my grill smoker. Dont put the baffles in it. I did several tests and actually took mine out. If you take the charcoal holder and turn it upside down, it will rest on the the side and act as the best baffle. Just push it over to the smoker side and have the other side vented. Saves time and money and works awesome. I'm gonna do a follow up video soon.
Excellent instructional video. I just put my grill together and I'll season my grill (utilizing your method) in the morning. Thanks Dad Life!!!
I appreciate you taking the time to show us how to season a grill. I love your videos. Keep them coming. You and your family stay safe during this 2020 pandemic. God Bless!

Awesome. You are so welcome. Have fun grilling.
Oh I can use my side burner to start my charcoal? Never would've thought of that. Cool man!!!
Yeah no kidding lol my mind was blown I never even thought of it
I used both sides😅
Having trouble keeping it low it goes all theway to 300 well no wonder I used both sides lmao
I just bought the charcoal version of this (no side box). Interesting because the instructions tell you how to season it - which I never heard of. I noticed that there is a lot of smoke coming out of the grill when in use. I really like the idea of the insulation! Thanks for that.
Thank you brother! Just put my grill together and was looking for an easy way to season it. Your video made the process go very smoothly and grill smells great!! Lol Thanks again
I love how you used your gas grill to light the charcoal grill haha
Thanks this was great. Had no idea grills could be seasoned this just changed my whole grill game.
Nice video. I like to season or re-season, roasting garlic cloves. Either infuse it in the oil before coating the grill, or in the smoke box.
I seasoned my blackstone and didn't use it for a year and no rust. Just bought the smoking champ 2 days ago and put it together yesterday. Im gonna season mines tomorrow
Once a true outdoor griller, you will need zero temperature gauges.
True that!
I don’t even know what that is
Smokers absolutely need temp gauges. Charcoal grilling maybe not so much.
Awesome Dad, I noticed the Fire Fighters Cross on your hat, Salute Sir. I appreciate your service as well as the “How to” video. Life never ends for a Dad until we are gone, pass on the knowledge to your kids, they will appreciate it later in life. Again, Salute and Thank you for all you do.
Amen brother. Thank you
Thanks for the video. You answered the questions I had!!! Just assembled my Charr grill. Ready to go now.
+Harvey Coles. I would love to know what mods you did, if any and how it cooks for you. Keep me posted.
Same!
I watched so many videos trying to figure out the time length on how long to let my smoker burn while seasoning. Do I really have to wait for 6 hrs. Before I drop some meat on it or is two hrs. Good enough???

Joshua D'Aniello. Thank you so much. We love ours and for the price it does an awesome job.
Great video. Thanks. I would add to make sure you dont mind oil dripping on the surface below the grill since it will definitely drip! I made the mistake of doing this somewhere other than the permanent location for the grill and stupidly and accidentally let it drip on my new patio. Lol. happy thanksgiving!
I hear that and totally agree. I have lots of drip stains on my patio. lol
Can you start cooking immediately after seasoning or should I start the next day
You made an amazing video full of awesome information. The only thing I would have done differently would be to use lump charcoal for the seasoning because briquets are full of such poisonous by products such as benzine in some scary brands.

Thanks for posting this. I just got this smoker as a birthday gift and I’m excited to test it out.
So should I wash off the manufacturing oil just wipe it off or leave it before seasoning?
Great video. I have never seasoned a grill before, but here in Ohio it only lasted 4 years.
Good job and good channel
Do you do any sort of pre wash to remove the oily factory coating or does it matter?
Great video, as for the music i would tone it down a bit way to loud . Got this grill a few days ago going to try and put mine together today ....
Thanks for the very nice video, I just brought a Char Griller today, I am a Dad with two teenage girls.

lol yep same here!
Yes, i didn't expect it. Lol
To fkn loud!!
And started getting down to the groove?
I was constipated...no more 😅
You know you’ve reached the ultimate dad and manhood status when you call a smoker “beautiful”
What model is that char-griller ? Is it the char griller 2137 outlaw with the 1063 sq-inch total cooking area OR the char-griller 1224 with 830 sq-inch total cooking area
What size is the dryer vent hose. I bought one but it's too big. Thanks
Thanks I would have never known that had I not have watched you do that, prepare your grill for cooking. Glory to God.
Make sure you spray your grill before every cook. Olive oil spray works really well. It just keeps the grates fresh and the meat doesn't stick.
What if you don't have the smoker attachment? would you just the coal inside at the bottom of the barrel of the grill?
Theresa Jerry. So you can still bbq with the Charcoal and you can get some smoking with indirect cooking but it would do lower temp smoking without the side burner
Olive oil has a relatively low burn point 375-450, why use that? Bacon grease is lower, 325 for smoke point...
Hello there my name is Tim and I understand you did some modifications on your Char-Grill. I was wondering if you applied bbq gasket on your Charcoal Grill? Please let me know thank you
Tim
Question: i just purchased the chargriller akorn.
Cooked on it monday and shut it all up: and waited for the rain to quit. Got bavk to it friday.
Removed bottom pan and it was full of water
And grates were all rusted.
I seasoned them when i first got it. Why do i have water in pan and rusted grills
I have no idea. Mine is out in the weather all the time and I've never had that issue. Sorry that happened to you.
...sorry but are you saying "bacon" or "baking" grease?? Do you recommend any brand in particular? Thanks in advance.
Bacon grease. Love it live it
I just put my together and only put one chimney of coals in it and it was up to 400 degrees, I wonder if the thermometer might be bad.
Very well done thank you wish you were my neighbor
Where did you get that grate moving tool?
Do I need to add more charcoal for the second grate seasoning?
Thanks for the video just bought my first offset it's a small char broil smoker.
Good luck to you.
Can I clean and season an older grill? (Char Griller)
Thank you for the inside tips!!
1st cook will be St. Louis style slow cook. We will.be posting that video real soon.
Will you make a new pit with a smoker do you Have to burn these smoker
very nice videos
What all did you do to the smoker? Did it come out of the box with the 3 temperature gauges? Did it come with the bricks? What are the bricks for? Did the baffles come with the smoker? Thanks.
I have other videos that explain all of the mods I did. Thanks for watching.
I added two temp gauges, the bricks, sealing, added the vent for the stack inside. The bricks help to distribute the heat better. They work very well
Just bought a char griller smoker I like your idea with the thermometers on the sides of the smoker, the sealent I am looking on Amazon right now to get that stripping
I just bought one. But I noticed a huge gap on the back side. Do you want have a lot of trouble with smoke escaping?
yea if u put gaskets on the edges where there's openings, it should help a lot..u might have to get thicker gaskets for the back or put 2 layers on
Wonderful everyone do it different
I just ordered the Texas Trio, should I season all three sections, and do you have to light the grill to complete the seasoning process?
That's a nice unit. If I got one, I would but it's up to you.
What can I use if I don’t eat pork my family is on a kosher diet
I truly appreciate this video! My husband just bought me a Char Grill smoker and I had no clue how to use it (Neither did he). Thanks!!😊
We wish you the best of luck and happy cooking. Make sure to keep it fun and try different techniques. You will do great.
So if you buy one from the store, then season the iron grates only amd then cook burgers on it what does it do to the meat?

Excellent video, thank you so much for the help
Thank you
Nice vid boss, thanks for the tip. About to put together my first charcoal smoker tomorrow - an E1224.

Putting my Char-griller together next weekend!!! Great great info video - I’m gonna subscribe and watch more!!! Thanks 🥓🥓🥓🥓
Scott Brodhagen did you use this method? Any other tips?
What are the dimensions on the baffle plates and the bricks. Loved the video. Very helpful
I'm not sure. The brick are standard bricks from Home Depot. I took the baffle plates out and now just turn the charcoal grate upside down and scoot the grate to the firebox side. This seems to work really well.
The Dad Life Channel Could you do an updated quick video?
Love your channel and what you are doing. Thank you so much for posting. I bought the same grill based on your video. I’m getting ready to season it this weekend.

Will do I will definitely try and thank you for the advice and take care and I will let you know. Have a good weekend.
Did you wash down the grates and inside the grill first? I just purchased the same set up and mine came pre-seasoned.
I did. I dried everything really well before I seasoned it. A lot of people say to never wash with soap and water but I did it and I feel ok about it. I only did it the one time but was able to get all of the gunk off.
I thought you would do a hour or two burn to get rid of factory oils and then season the grill. Instead of using soap and water.
@@thedadlifechannel6038 ..thoughts on the comment above?

Frank . It's just what I had at the time. I always use Canola oil to spray the grates before each cook.
I just used what I had and it was a great mix. It's been a year now and I haven't had to re season anything yet.
Thanks for the tips will be doing this to my Char griller soon, question I have is:
Do you ever season the outside/exterior of the grill? I've read comments about the exterior rusting from the elements, even though it's under the cover
The manual that comes with it actually tells you to season the outside, got ours today so it's seasoning time tomorrow :)
Sorry for the late response. I have not seasoned the outside. 3 years later it seems to be fine. Did you end up doing yours? How did it turn out?
Did you add those temp gauges to the lid?
yes. They are much better than the standard gauge
I just put mine together about a week ago.. great video - subbed!
Thank you
Thanks great video 👍🏾
Whatta?? I did know you had to season the inside of my grill, not the cooking grate even if its coated with porcelain!!!??? 😳
Curious, are the bricks included with this grill by Char Griller?
SooperFlye. Sorry bud, I just saw your post. I purchased the bricks separately. They were from Home Depot for like a buck each of something like that.
The Dad Life Channel what kind of bricks are they?
Do you wash the grates with soap and water first?
I did the 1st time only. Just to get the oil off. It's in the video.
you mentioned Northern California, I pray that you and your family are well
Thank you. We are safe. Been on these fires though and they are nuts.
Do you put oil on the outside too, or just the inside?
Only the inside. Sorry about the volume. When we started filming we were amateurs. Now we have it down and videos are much better. Good luck grilling.
I noticed mine was different the threading for the hood peg and the grease catch was different cus the burner box cut out.
Interesting
Great video!! How often should I clean the grates and inside of smoker?
I just use a wire brush at every cook and spray them with conora oil and they stay good.
Do You Washout The Grill And Let It Dry Before You Oil It Down ? It Has The Particles And Residue From The Manufacturer And Duar Inside Or Do You Wash It Out After You Oil It ?
BURN AS IS, THE PARTICLES WITH COME OUT WHEN YOU WIPE IT DOWN WITH THE OIL.
I did wash everything out with soap and water the first time. I then dried everything well. Then I did a burn off fire and get the smells out. Then cooled it and oiled everything. It's a process but works really well. After that you wont have to wash it again.
That will work. I just like to make sure. Thank you for watching.

Does the silicone add an extra chemical hazard, especially when heated?
BillyD003. I don't think so but don't know for sure. I've seen many other people that used and recommended that product. I know that it holds up well. I only had to apply it once and it's still holding after probably 50 cook offs
your seasoning this after you do the initial burn off.. correct?
Michael M of course.
Doesn't look like there has been a fire in there before
wthigo77. That's because I keep it clean. Keep on grilling.
Ditto.. I treat my Ok Joe like a cast iron pan! ( giving special attention to the fire box and all else attached to the heat source)
@@thedadlifechannel6038 Do you have a video on how to best clean the grill? :)
Olive oil isn’t a high heat oil. Why use that instead of something like grape seed or canola?
I used what I had at the time. It worked out great. I'm sure the bacon grease helped
Nice video! Good job on the baffle plates. What’s your first cook going to be?
Bruzer's BBQ . First cook will be baby back ribs slow cook. I will be posting soon. They came out awesome.
What model of chargriller is that
Welcome to our channel Donald. This is a professional smokin champ 1624 model. It's a great smoker for the price.
How often do you need to season the smoker? Every time you use it?
I only seasoned mine once. I aways spray canola oil on the grates before each cook just to keep those grates fresh.
@@thedadlifechannel6038 awesome! thanks. Will be getting my first smoker on father's day. i'm excited to up my grilling game.
Have fun grilling.
Great video. Thank You.
Thanks for watching
*warning* ROCK CONCERT at 3:51 🤣

Hey man how much of the hole is covered by the baffle?
I would say more than a 3rd. We are going to do an update video of the mods. We made some changes that made things easier and better and I started using charcoal as well. The bbq is awesome.
this is a fantastic video.
What are the dimensions of the baffles? I just bought the same grill today. And I'm gonna season it but I like your baffle set up
I love my grill smoker. Dont put the baffles in it. I did several tests and actually took mine out. If you take the charcoal holder and turn it upside down, it will rest on the the side and act as the best baffle. Just push it over to the smoker side and have the other side vented. Saves time and money and works awesome. I'm gonna do a follow up video soon.
@@thedadlifechannel6038 i appreciate you getting back to me 🤙
@@thedadlifechannel6038 flip the charcoal holder inside the big barrel and slide it to the right side...correct?
@@famanjetta11 Yes sir. The right side.
Did you coat the water heater vent also?
Yes sir
