Daviddiy5271 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Hi. I just bought a BBQ and looked online at tutorials for seasoning. I did what it said and applied oil to the cast iron grates and also the inside of the lid. The grates were a success but the inside of the lid is covered in dark brown staining, I assume from the oil burning (the lid is stainless steel). Can anyone let me know what I have done wrong and give me any tips on cleaning the lid (baking soda and vinegar haven't made any difference)? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U can do that again Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Welcome, is it gas or charcoal? I have both & the gasser has a similar discolouration but no detrimental effect on the cooks. I think it down to the me running it flat out/ max heat for too long. My kettle & bullet smoker are enamelled so no really signs of discolouration.

Daviddiy5271 Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 It's gas with a charcoal tray. On the tutorials the inside of the lid was covered with oil and when the burning/heading had finished there was no difference. But mine is now covered in burnt veg oil. Tried everything to shift it and it's caked on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamG Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Have you tried burning it off again at max temp without the cast iron grates in? It sounds like to me it didnt get hot enough on the lid (maybe the cast iron grids soaked up all the heat). Apart from that I cant think of anything else sorry🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
