S3E8: Seize...I mean....Season the Grill: How I seasoned my new Gambler Portable Grill.
Today Bob seasons his new King-Griller by Char-Griller Gambler grill.
Coat all internal surfaces, including grill grates with vegetable or other cooking oil with a brush. Light 1/2 or so of a chimney of charcoal, I used B&B Briquettes.
Set grill to 400-450º every 25 minutes or so, recoat the grates with oil. After 2 hours lower temp to 300-350º for another hour.
You can also use vegetable oil on the outside surfaces of the grill to help protect the paint.

I would have removed all the adhesive-backed advertising material before starting the fire.

I see that now! Ha. I took it off shortly after closing the lid. I think this was stuck on with a couple of dabs of “gorilla snot”. Stuff that credit cards are stuck to paper when they mail them.

Great video Bob! You might consider getting a lapel microphone which will help reduce the noise from Don Scott 🛩

Thanks! I have one I normally use, but it was out on another project. So it was the rode shotgun for this and the next few videos. It's not too bad except for when those planes come by. I take it you're in Cbus?

I always use Flaxseed oil for my BBQ for seasoning them. Since I am a vintage cast iron cookware collector I have found Flaxseed oil has a hard finish, holds up to the heat and gives my cast iron that nice dark rich color plus I never have problems with foods sticking

@BobsSmokinSundays Жыл бұрын

I usually use grapeseed oil on my griddle and grates because of its high smoke point and price compared to flax. I was out of grapeseed oil for this one and haven’t had any issues with regular ol vegetable oil. I have heard the flax does give a nice cooking surface.

@@BobsSmokinSundays yes Flaxseed oil gives a cast iron skillet a nice non stick surface Before I used vegetable oil for my BBQ's until one day I was to lazy to buy more so I used my Flaxseed oil. I am not sure but for me the Flaxseed oil seems to last long on my BBQ's or it could be I switch out the ones I am using not sure. Right now I am seasoning a Char Boil Tabletop/offset smoker firebox I bought last year to use for my camping trips. I really like the space you have in it

Never really thought about seasoning the grill, though I do with cast iron. Thanks, Bob!

For new grills it helps burn off any machine oils used in manufacturing also helps get rid of any odors from styrofoam, paint, or plastics that may have become stagnant in the box. The cast iron grates are awesome, and yeah, I treat them like my skillets. Seasoned, and coated in oil, help protect them from rust, and keep them non-stick. Also cooking oil rubbed on the outside of the grill help keep the painted finish nice, and helps keep that metal from rusting as well.

Did you put any type of can to catch the drippings? If so, what can did you use?

@BobsSmokinSundays Жыл бұрын

Good question. The grill comes with a small metal piece that fits in the holes in the bottom of the barrel, it holds an empty can such as from vegetables or soup.

Just bought a char griller ace smoker and the instructions say to heat cast iron grates at 200%F to melt protective coating before cooking or seasoning. Do you do that before seasoning? Also, do you have to season the grill before every use?

@BobsSmokinSundays 11 ай бұрын

I always wash and dry my cast iron grates then do the seasoning process. It helps get rid of oils used in manufacturing on the other metals. And once it is seasoned the first time, as long as you keep it cleaned off and dry between cooks you don’t need to season every time.

@alltrue4250 Жыл бұрын

Do you season the grill and cook the next day or can you do your first cook after your first seasoning?

@BobsSmokinSundays Жыл бұрын

I've always let it cool down before I cook... with cast iron grates/pans I've always been told that it helps the seasoning cure to the iron. For other types of metal grates I am not 100% it would be necessary.

I use to use lighter fluid until I discovered the chimney. Oh my goodness, there is nothing better. Put some paper in the bottom, your charcoal on the top, light the paper, and wallah! Just wait for the magic to happen. No horrible lighter fluid fumes, or flavor.

I was asking a friend about what kind of grill I should get as my apartment's over-the-stove exhaust fan doesn't vent to the outside (yeah, we discovered that when I cooked my first t-bone). He recommended this grill, so I will ordering one soon and will season things as described. Question: when you re-add the oil coating during the process are you spraying on the grates or do you spray the brush then paint the grates? You're getting a sub from me so I can follow along this year. BTW, while the airplane isn't a problem, the background music really isn't needed. Save yourself the trouble of adding it and just go with your narration (and the occasional fly-over).

@BobsSmokinSundays Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comments and the Sub... I hope to put out some more content later this spring and into the summer! As far a the oil, i've done it a couple different ways... sometimes I have a spray bottle with oil, spray it on the grates, surfaces... and then use the brush to keep it even.. sometimes I have a small bowl of oil... I helped my son season his Akorn Jr grill and we took the grates out put on a cardboard box, and then just dipped the brush in oil and "painted it on"

Do you do the outside?

@BobsSmokinSundays Жыл бұрын

I do this after I cook, after I close my dampers and take the food off. You can lightly coat the exterior of the grill body (while warm) with vegetable oil. This will extend the life of the finish, much like waxing a car. I dont always do it every time, but every few uses...

What about porcelain coated grill grates?

@BobsSmokinSundays 4 ай бұрын

I don’t see the need to season them… I would though, before cooking after you preheat your grill, rub a little oil on them to keep the food from sticking.

The brother in-law bought one of these cuz he couldn't figure out how to use my mother-in-law's offset smoker made all of us sick by not seasoning it and not burning the coating off first put food on it straight from the box the moment he dumped hot coals wish he would have watched this video since he refuses to listen in person smh hes a 12 year old boy in a 40 year old mans body
