Preserve and Protect your Offset Smoker from rust - corrosion with oil

- Here we show you how we season, preserve and protect the outside of the Yoder Wichita offset smoker with vegetable oil but you can use talo or any grease or oil of your choice. This method works just as good on any offset smoker when you need protection from rust and other corrosive environmental conditions such as near the ocean salty air. Corrosion can destroy a perfectly good smoker or grill in months so don't let this happen to you!

You have alot invested in that pit. Protect it from the elements with this simple and cheap preservative!
Does this work on grills that have a painted coating on the outside? (Oh seeing in video this is a painted grill not pure cast iron)
i sprayed it as soon as i assembled it with pam canola. still need to season it. i also bought the full cover for it. along with storing it inside.
Ive had my horizon backyard 16 inch for 10 plus years. Firebox was pretty rusty. I just stumbled on to your video and a few others today. I went out and toasted my wifes spray can of vegetable oil and then wiped the whole smoker with vegetable oil and filled the firebox with charcoal. I have to say im very happy. Water beads off of the old rusted metal now. This worked like an absolute charm. Thanks for the video and conveying your knowledge
So cool you were able to give this a try. Remember, seed oils on the outside, good oils in you body only lol
I do the entire outside and inside of my OK Joe (but with Canola Oil) and it looks brand new for 2 years now. Even sitting out in the rain a few times, and with a cover in the winter. Season your smoker and pans and they'll last forever!
Absolutely!
it works just like grandma's iron skillet. the more you season it the better it gets. right on. great video.
You got that right!
the one thing i wish these smoker companies would do is just like weber. finish it with their baked on enamel finish. my weber is 10 yrs old and it still looks new. even on the bottom where it gets really hot. problem is they would likely charge a fortune to do it. weber does all theirs and their prices aren't that high. probably because they do their own coatings. @@GreenhornBBQbeer
I thought I was the only one 💪🏿new subscriber 🖤
You need to do this on a regular basis and keep the firebox ash free and use pam inside the firebox
With all this rain we’re getting thanks for reminding me about my offset smoker I’m going to do this next weekend
Thanks, glad I could be of some help
On my Wichita, I managed to burn the fire box paint on the first cook. I've been using cooking oil to curtail rust and season the exterior metal ever since. Once the flaky bits are off, and the metal turns black, it's nearly impossible to discern where the paint ends, and the seasoned metal begins.
I haven't seasoned the entire cooker, though, just the fire box. It will be interesting to see how this method works in areas that do not get the extreme heat that the fire box provides.
Thanks for the vid, Todd. It will help others who encounter similar issues.
I'd live to see pictures or video of that
My Wichita is put away for the Winter, covered and tarped, along with a blanket of snow. I'll have to wait until Spring to grab a pic. @@GreenhornBBQbeer
Thank you, be getting my Yoder Cheyenne 10-2021 I am seniors!!!!!!!1
I used trimmed , melted brisket fat ( tallow) for this purpose.
Thanks, yes, I thought about that but did not have convenient access to that, I understand Primitive Pits used Talo
I like to use canola oil cooking spray works great!
agree!
Glad I found this video
I have a smoker grill and noticed it is getting some rust on the outside and was wondering if I could use oil on it to help the rain and wet weather from rusting it
Glad I could help
Awesome video! Thank you!
My pleasure!
Thank you
You are welcome
Was the surface sticky after the oil was applied?
No, not at all
Nice! Just did this to mine today!
Thanks
Very Kool and Thanks for sharing! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Ric!
Great Tutorial honey 👍 our Yoder looks a beautiful nicely done!
I use a PAM type spray oil its much faster and easier then just wipe it down and heat it up.
I finally figured that out too.
Thank you, very helpful.
Your welcome
Thanks for video, what about oiling inside of pit?
I do that when its new before the burn in.
New Sub here! Thanks for making this video! I ordered a Lone Star Grillz offset for my channel and I’m still waiting for it…when I get it, I’ll be sure to take care of it like you showed! Thanks! Smoke on!!
Thank you! I'm on my way to subscribe back!
How often should you do this🤔 Can I put some food on it while seasoning, or should I season first and then cook on a separate day??? Thanks.
What ever you feel like
I just got my Oklahoma joe longhorn for Christmas ! It’s brand new when should I season the outside before my first ?cook and how often should I re coat it. Also the inside I know to do it for sure starting it up but do I need to soray it down after every cook or when do I re season it?
Hey thanks for watching the video! I would say the inside should get a good spraying down/wiping down with a good oil such as avocado or grapeseed oil, something with a high flash point. Then bring it up to 350 degrees for a few hours to "bake it in". 3 or 4 would do just fine. On the outside I don't think there is any rule how early you can coat it. Some may say sooner or later, but doing it is the big plus here. I wiped vegetable oil on some rusty parts of my trailer and believe me, it seems to halt the progression of it if you renew it now and then. MeatCranium BBQ AND REVIEW channel here on youtube has a bunch of videos on the smoker you purchased, you should go check him out. Cheers!
I got my yoder Wichita back in 2016 it has a fixed stack. Boy o boy I need help. I seasoned it peanut oil. And still do but now the rust is so bad on the firebox. Paint fell off 1st cook. I've sand painted season but rust keeps coming back. What can I do to take off thick rust and keep it off. I last sanded it and reseasoned it may 2020. Now looks so bad. Kansas weather
Hey buddy, sorry to hear about that rust. I would say any kind of paint is a bad idea at this time. If I were you I would just use veg oil after each cook while its still warm and keep it covered.
@@GreenhornBBQbeer yes its always covered when not in use thinking about hiring a professional to come in and remove the rust and repaint it
@@g.florez4326 I know you asked more than a year ago. But if you still have this issue, I would recommend using an angle grinder with a wire wheel to get the heavy rust off. That should give you a good base to start seasoning like in this video.
Will it work on a smoker with a crappy paint job right out of the box? On the second firing of my OK Joe Highland the paint on the fire box basically fell off. I have already sanded and painted with high temp paint. I expect I will do same to over all body.
Yes, you can oil it before or after every cook. Over time it will be a dramatic change
So you don't recommend the high heat paint then? Or does the paint work if you oil it after?
I'll never paint again
Weed Burners are Cheap at Harbor Freight. 🔥 👍 🍺
Totally, I should get one
Where do you keep the smoker? Can you leave it outside the yard?
I leave it outside but wrapped in a tarp.
@@GreenhornBBQbeer Thank you for taking the time to answer a newbie's question.
Do you do anything to protect the inside of the firebox from rust?
I don't get any rust inside. I cover it up good, also the seasoning helps.
