peatey Posted Saturday at 06:56 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:56 PM Hi all, just received my brand new WSM. Do I need to season it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamG Posted Sunday at 12:53 PM Share Posted Sunday at 12:53 PM (edited) I have always seasoned mine before a cook but not sure if its needed on all bbq's? When I season for the first time I usually use it as a test run to see what temps I can get so I have a better idea on vent settings for my first cook. You could even cook something in a dutch oven (a saucy dish being very forgiving with cooking temps) with the lid on if you have one, while it seasons so you can get the most out of your fuel.👍 Edited Sunday at 12:55 PM by AdamG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U can do that again Posted Monday at 09:25 AM Share Posted Monday at 09:25 AM Morning, would second Adam's comment about seasoning, initial burn to clear off any residual oils etc from manufacture, get as hot as possible, then start building up your seasoning from subsequent cooks. If I haven't used any of my q's for a while it's a process I repeat before first cook just to kill off any nasties lurking. As with all things comes down to personal choice, personally I do so would advise you too.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peatey Posted Monday at 07:44 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 07:44 PM Any recommendations? Read somewhere that chicken is a good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamG Posted Monday at 08:28 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:28 PM Yeah spatchcock chicken seems to be a popular starter.👍 My first low 'n' slow cook I did was half a pork shoulder since its pretty forgiving. Your first cook going to be at the weekend?😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoogl Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago My first cook with a WSM was chicken drumsticks and pork ribs. I did a bit of a burn then threw my food on. Figured its enamel so not as much factory oils on it as bare steel etc. Sausages are also a great first cook, they take the smoke well and are very forgiving.
