Seasoning a new charcoal barrel grill?

[Jr 1968]

I just a new Char-Griller barrel grill, and was wondering what is the best oil to use?

Thank You,

Pam or canola spray shoul be fine

Hello we manufacture custom bbq pits and smokers and we use Pam and then run the cooker at 250 degrees for 20 minutes as a final procedure to season the cookers before they leave and it works great.
Just don't send the wife to get the Pam one time I stated spraying the Pam and it smelled like cookies right away then I looked at the can and it was a special Pam for baking LOL Rather than try a new style of chocolate chip ribs we cleaned out the chamber and re applied the correct Pam. Good times.

Another thing I forgot to ask, should i burn off the factory oil first, or just put
the Pam on then fire it.

Thanks,
Jr 1968.

Just spray it down with oil and then start your fire. It should be approximately 225-250 degrees for approximately two hours.
