Need help with seasoning a new Masterbuilt electric smoker

[joerobusto]

Just purchased a new Masterbuilt smoker and need to know if I should spray oil on the entire inside including water bowl and drip pan before starting the seasoning process.  You Tube video from Masterbuilt does not mention using oil.  Thanks

You don't need to use oil in a MES.

It's stainless inside.

Oil is needed on smokers that are made of rolled steel that can rust.

Just fire it up with some wood chips to burn off any manufacturing oils that may be in there.
