seasoning new pit

[sniltz]

 Hey guys and gals,

I have just purchased a new rather large pit and was wandering if y'all have any tips on seasoning it?  I have seasoned a small to medium pit before and was thinking of doing it the way I have always but, just wanted to get your opinion on a large pit.  

   The pit is a offset wood/gas hybrid.   It has two shelves inside.  It still smells like welding.  I will use wood 99% of the time.  The only reason I had a gas tube put in is when I cater for football game and they want hamburgers and hotdogs quick and fast.   Any info about seasoning would be much appreciated.  Thanks
