    MES 40 - Seasoning Help Needed... To Oil or Not to Oil?

    Not sure if I should be concerned... I have not hit the 275 temp.  I am getting a bit of a temp drop here outside.  (50 Degrees) it's been 2.5 hours. I am ready to turn it off for a bit and get ready for the Oil phase of my break-in! Any Ideas let me know.  We are going to have rain a bit later...
