If it was me Racy...I think I'd give it a good wash first, then season it for sure. Especially if you want to give it a little no-stick quality you know? That would probably take a couple seasonings.
Is it from China? They seem to be sending a lot of cast iron our way these days. If so, I'd be...
Razor blade works if you're real careful. What I have learned to do is after wiping down the stovetop, I give it a coat of WD-40 to keep it from sticking too bad in the future.
Don't laugh! go to their website...wd-40 is made from fish oil, and is really harmless. I'll stop short of calling it...
Supposed to be flying down to Venice, FL tomorrow at 06:30....not going to happen.
Finally got through to US air, and they told me "your call will be answered in 193 minutes!!!! three f*&^%$g hours on hold??!
I think not. Going to be a long week.
I'm basically with Racy on this one, although I have used both methods. What I asked myself was "do I want to smoke the meat or steam it?" water pan = steam. I'd rather go with lava rock or sand, and spritz or mop if I feel I need the extra moisture.
Experiment with both, and you'll find out...
I guess the soaking is personal preference...I'm with the no soak camp. All you're doing is steaming instead of smoking...I never could see the sense in that,

I have the heavy duty kitchenaid, and I use it for sausage all the time....usually 10 pounds at a time. It's slow, but if you're not going to be making it week in and week out, I don't forsee any problems.
The only drawback is stuffing...what you can do is get an extra grinding plate, and...
I want to correct this folks....must have had one of them brain farts or somethin...first fry should be 325-330 degrees...NOT 340
Sorry if I misled anybody.
Like they^^^^^^^^said..Maverick ET-73 is by far the most versatile...if you can see your way to spend a bit more, Thermapen is absolutely the best out there, but a bit pricy.
