Thanks for the video. Was hoping you might’ve mentioned at end of video if you need to clean out Firepot of ash after seasoning it. Or can I start it up later to cook food after burn off? What did you do?
Noooooo! That only burns off warehouse juice! (Oils) you must use canola spray or whatever cooking spray you choose (I do duck fat spray) then spray entire insides, crates and everything, then set heat at 400 for at least 1 hour! I'm a competition bbq cook, and we all learned this at bbq school 101
@@jessegarcia9959 No, imo this is how you should do it. After you get your new grill full of charcoal or pellets and get it started, close the top, and leave it alone for an hour at least, at 400 degrees. Then the very next time you start your grill, spray the entire inside of it, crates and all, with canola spray, then get it to 400 degrees for an hour again. Warning: if you are using a pellet grill, do not spray where the pellets are being burned.
Hes not really "Seasoning" the grill. Its more burning off manufacturing oils and greases. I would think of after doing this, spray the inside with a spray cooking oil and cook for an hour or so. you might want to check directions that came with it or check more videos.
Not sure if you found out by now. But you fill the holder up and the system knows how much to use based on the heat. It’s a feeder system. You will use no where near what he put in. But just to fill it originally so it has fuel.
Remember to open up your lid until the 🔥 process is done. Otherwise 💥
Great video. It surprised me how much grap got burned off while doing this. For sure a step not to forget 🔥🔥👍

You should clean after each burn
Love the ironwood 885! If you get tired of that grease pail, we’ve got the fix!

Roll tide! Good comment
@@luckypoison8708 Go DAWGS! But thanks, gotta teach em right
Wooo Pig! Thank you for the tip!
I seen a video says you have to leave lid open when first starting is this true ?

The book says remove grates and interior stuff first, before seasoning. Which is it?
Thank you
Grab another drink lol. Thanks man
Not bad , I still prefer to use a wood offset smoker . These Traeger remind me of an easy bake oven . Cheers
Exactly!
I stepped up to the 886… definitely the right call…
Do you need to do this every time?
Only the first time using a brand new smoker

Is the process any different (other than cleaning) if I'm restoring a pellet smoker
No just you need to wipe everything down with vegetable oil or canola oil your choice. Keeps it from rusting.
Grab another drink...forget you had the smoker on. Runs out of pellets at 500 lol
They have instructions in the box
Are you from Pittsburgh?
1 million percent PA accent he somehow sounds like he’s from both Pitt and Philly
What is he drinking ?
This was just a burn off…not the season step
these are the seasoning steps mostly in the manual
You really have to use that many pellets to season it?

If the pellet hopper is low to the point of empty it can catch fire. So it's a good idea to just keep it mostly full when using
@@Y_N_K_888im new in the smoking community. And i have been in the market for one. Why is that it will catch fire if the hopper is low?
🔥 𝐩𝓻Ỗ𝓂Ø𝓈Ｍ
Wrong, burn in 1 hour, cool down, spray inside canola oil grates, sides, inside of lid fire up and season for 1 hour
350 or 400 degrees
It’s a pellet cooker just cook LOL
If you like vaporized oil, grease, paint and sealant residue and dust buildup, go ahead. I'll burn that off before putting any food in it, thank you.
Set it and forget it! That ain’t real bb, only joe Rogan gets a pass!
