what were you using to burn it off with? I didn't notice an issue when I seasoned mine per Harry Soo

Pretty much just charcoal??? What else did you put in there???
I didnt notice any residue in or on mine and just started out smoking a butt.
Weber forum sez you dont need to..but lists the Soo method...

It's not paint but a hardened power coated material. It's the same stuff they do all their black grills with and it's made to handle heat as grills can be brought up to 700 degrees or so.
If it was a new WSM, the above would apply, but if you got it used from someone they may have put paint on the inside for some reason?

When I seasoned mine I didn't notice a toxic smell. I can't tell you why you may have smelled an off odor.
BTW - pardon my thought that you may have used lighter fluid or matchlight. Stubb's is good stuff - I use it often. I have never run into a bad batch.

I used damp brickettes once and that had a odd smell to it. But if you were using Stubbs lump, that can't be the issue then.
That photo you added does not look unusual. Must just be the factory coating on top of the powder coated ceramic I guess. Need to get some meat in there and let the protective coating of smoke & meat fumes start to build up.
I suspect it's just the new smell and will quickly go away when you throw some meat in there.

Mine had a bit of a funny smell on the first burn...toss in some hickory next time and let the TBS flow...it will smell good then.
