I seasoned it yesterday. Holy smokes (no pun intended lol) this thing is built so well. Feels good I won’t have to worry about it falling apart or rusting or bad gaskets or......well you get the idea. Think I’m going to keep it simple for my first session and smoke some Pork kabobs for a couple hours then sear them on the grill. Pork will be cubed in 2” pieces so extended time will not be necessary. Thinking of using oak for a real subtle, clean-smoke, flavor.
