nice video. very informative.

ever heard of anyone seasoning their cook chamber with bacon grease? any thoughts on that or is spray canola oil the better way to go?

a lot will work

some prefer to paint on an oil

spraying is the easiest route

I looked into this a good while back, and there are a lot of personal preferences. I figure a top pit maker knows more than me. Here is a quote from Dave Klose himself:

A new BBQ pit should be cured like a new iron skillet. You may chose to rub the inside of the pit with Pam, peanut oil, cooking oils, or even bacon grease left over from bacon cooked on the stove. Then you light the pit with a medium fire, say 220 degrees for those of you with smokers. Choke the smokestack control about 1/2 and let it smoke heavily. A few hours is good, the longer the better. A Pit will cure without oils, but the buildup of the resin base on the doors doesn't seem to hold very well over the years.

I have made maybe 100,000 BBQ pits, noticing the pits seated with oils seem to produce better results. Once again, be careful with green woods. Some will produce very bitter tastes. Please do not ever use green mesquite in a smoker.

Glad you guys enjoyed the video. I like the canola oil, Have used Vegetable oil, Bacon fat and found the canola oil to work best for me.

Them stumps look pretty sweet.

If they ever do a movie about Roger Clemens, you could be a stunt double.

no, strictly a comment based on aesthetics......you didn't seem to accuse anyone of mis-remembering in your video
