I got a new smoker for Christmas, an offset by Chargriller, and I will be
curing it first thing in the morning. I noticed in the instructions about
rubbing down all surfaces with vegetable oil and building a fire, but also
noticed that somewhere it mentioned that it had already been rubbed with a
"specially approved" vegetable oil to cure/season it. The cooking grates
and inside of the smoker was just sticky though and I am wondering if I just
need to let this burn off first then rub it down with some vegetable oil, or
just go ahead rub it down with a bit more oil and build me a fire. Any
advice here?
