As the new owner of a Char-griller, and first time round with cast iron,
I realize that you should oil the grill when it is hot, and before you
toss food on there.

What do you all use to do that with? Seems a lenghty process with a
pastry brush. I'm thinking of some kind of mop, heat resistant, about
the size of a tennis ball. Something that can hold more oil than a
pastry brush.

Does such an animal exist?

TIA,

Wally

We don't do nothing fancy like that... an old rag (laundered, naturally) is
good enough -- and can be tossed when done (and, especially, if it
accidentally catches on fire).

Yes, they do. They look like a miniature yarn kitchen mop. Many of the
video's I've seen of contests show contestants using them.

If there's one near you, World Market has them for just $2.99.

Actually, when I seasoned my grates, I just used a can of Olive Oil
non-stick spray. Went over both sides of the grates, both before and
after I heated them for seasoning. Of course, you can also find a
natural bristle paint brush, the aforementioned mop, or a clean cotton
cloth. Any would work.
