DP GF Finally Finished

[Vega]

Well, I finally finished my GF a year after I bought the plans! Just have to get it home now.

1. Is vegetable oil what I should use to season the CC first?
2. Have any of you used the Kamado Joe charcoal int he last pic? It says it extra large, as I have never ran one of these units before wasn't sure if that would be an issue with the GF Chute.

Thanks!

Nice work!
Yes, that should work fine. Charcoal chimney to get started or a weed burner on a 5 gallon tank under the charcoal chute grate work good as well, and is my preferred choice.

If still brand new, Wash the grates down good with Dawn or any dish soap and give them a good rinse.
Do the same with the inside walls and door.
Then coat everything with vegetable oil.
I used the spray vegetable oil (lazy man's way) then I fired it up for a few hours at 350 degrees F.

I like the extra coating from multiple cooks and use the top racks mainly and let all of the drippings get to the lower extremities.
After I am done, I brush everything down good and use a long scraper on my grates and scoop all of the particles that falls from the grates, and I am done. I tried steaming everything out like I do with my stick burner by adding a little water but got a bunch of white residue on the walls, which went away after my next cook.

Also, I just use kingsford charcoal > I get two 20 lb bags at Home Depot for 19.99.
But I add chunks of wood in the firebox for flavor.
Oak, Cherry, Almond, walnut, peach, plum. etc.

That's a nice job you did there....I do prefer lump charcoal and had no issues so far.
