Epic! I need to season a new offset smoker so this video is perfect!

Man that is a sweet smoker ! Mrs Skinner done you right son ! No shame in that game at all ! I wish I had got that one instead of the smoke / gas split... You got all the room you need in there ! You did great seasoning it too, that will really pay off in the end ! Funny story - I bought mine preassembled, and the flat atop the firebox was put on backwards - so now I have had everyone under the sun think I'm a moron (even though its been corrected for months, they still see the old video)... ahahaha

Hey man! Thanks for sharing this. I just got one of these smokers for Christmas. Yes, I know about it. Lol. Sitting in my garage. Gonna kill me waiting for Christmas to come. New fan here!

I didn’t wash anything first, figured anything would burn off. I cleared out the chambers and whatnot. Then I used high smoke point avocado oil in an Amber glass sprayer. I did not oil the hole.

I am just assembling/sealing my Highland and will get to seasoning next week. The manual says that the burn in process will season the oiled inside and cure the exterior paint so what is the purpose of oiling the outside?

I seasoned everything. Including the four deflector plates to my reverse flow Highlander. Everything looks good, but the plates look look like I burned something on them. Did I ruin those plates?

Why in hell you record pointing at yourself!? The important is to see the smoker

Would have been nice to see a little more of what your doing instead of the camera pointed at you
