Seasoning my CCSV

[chaze215]

I understand I need to spray it down with some Pam or similar and fire it up and run it for a few hours.

What temp is optimal for this?

Do I need to use chips/chunks during the seasoning?

Thanks in advance!

Almost every smoker has a recommended start up smoke. I would spray it with the PAM and follow the instructions from the MFG

Only thing I can Add is I always burn it out before trying to start seasoning it, Lots of nastys in manufacturing metal these days. Then I follow up with a liberal spraying of canola or veg oil, Usually burn a GOSM out at 400ish then season at same,,, 3 seasoning sessions with the third being just like a smoke but no wood.
