How Do

You season a new Masterbuilt Smoker, the 30 inch one I have had been cokked in a few times when I got it so didn't have to do it. Should have my new one here Tuesday.

Put in chips and crank up the heat. Spray down the grates with pam and put some water in the pan.

Yep...It has instructions that come with it...its like Rusty says....then run it for a couple hours......then your ready to cook

Your really just trying to burn out any left over machining oil that is on the metal from when they run it through the press to shape the body. Smoke will stick to metal and then good to go.

Cool, it will be Tuesday when they deliver it and I will smoke it up!!!

I filled a pan with fresh cut (Green) hickory and cherry chips and water, sat it on a rack. Turned the smoker on 250 for 4 hours. Filled the chip hopper with seasoned hickory and cherry chips 3 or 4 times over the 4 hours. I cleaned the glass door with vinegar when finished.

Canebreaker did the vinegar clean the glass up?

It will Redge

Thanks Satdoc!

Get a cheap cut of meat and smoke it hard John until it's plum wore out. I mean some serious smoke involved, pour it to it enough to make your eyes water. And, do not clean anything once finished. Then, maybe - just maybe, it will be ripe.
