    Myron Mixon Muffin pan question

    Just was curious...when reading Myron's recipe, he stated that the muffin pan have a whole in the bottom. Why is that? What if there isn't a whole? He also said that a silicon muffin tin could be used. Is that safe in a smoker? Thanks!

    I just bought a Smoke Vault 18, and I know I'm supposed to season it before actual smoking. I know it involves running the smoker with nothing on it, but I don't know much more about it? Can someone please explain the seasoning process to me, including how long to do it? Thanks so much!!!
