Smoker seasoning

[denlew]

Hey all I am going to season my smoker today and I read somewhere that after getting all the inside surface's coated with cooking oil that you should also spray the outer surface of the smoker with a light spray of WD-40 ? Has anyone ever heard of or done this and is it a good idea to do?

What kind of smoker do you have?

i try to stay away from petroleum  distillates and food... also wd-40 can remove paint. 

i think i understand the idea, but i would just touch up the VHT paint you have on the outside as needed personally.

I just use the same cooking oil on the outside. It will just penetrate the steel and give you a good rust preventative.

I was thinking the same thanks for reassuring what I was thinking!
