I do almost the same, but after washing my grates first, I do an initial burn to get any residue from the painted surfaces for 20-30 minutes w/ the grill open, then do 100% exactly the same as you've done. The inside of the "shiny grill" becomes a golden brown and the food comes out awesome afterward! Great job here!
I just got my new char griller.. I skipped the grill washing before seasoning it.. do you advise to redo it? I mean, should I wash my cast iron grates and re-season it?
Most videos say to do an initial burn after your assembly but not how long the initial burn needs to be. I’ve been searching all over RUclips to find out that answer and I finally found it. Thank you so much!
Been a while since I bought a new grill so I found this video. I followed these instructions to the letter and I had outstanding results seasoning my new char-griller grill. Thanks Brother for the great advise. Be Blessed
I brought my grill 4 years ago but was just too lazy to assemble it. I finally assembled it last week and read it the manual to cure the grill????😢 Well, well, I watched your video, which made the process seamless. It is very easy to follow. Thanks. I'm happy for your video. 🎉😊😊
The assembly instructions were easy to follow. I have only used it once since assembly andam very satisfied. Heats up quickly and cooks evenly. I would suggest to anyone to use a #2 and #3 Phillips magnetic screwdriver to ease assembly.
Wow all of this time me grilling, I didn’t know you can do this to stainless grill grates. I have 2 bbq one portable with cast iron grates which looks like new since I knew about how to seasoned it, but my main bbq is stainless and it is degrading faster. Thanks for the tip
Thanks so much for this. Appreciate it. ps When you are off camera and narrating...I swear I am hearing Elvis Presley talking/teaching me how to season my new bbq! :)
I didn't season when I first got my grill, had it for a year or so and it rusted pretty bad. I spent a couple days sanding and grinding and repainting and added a side fire box. Came here to see exactly what I need to do to season everything. I'm hoping it all holds up.
@@colettemcwilliams1325 it seems like it, it's holding up pretty well so far. Even after seasoning though, especially in the firebox side where I don't put food, I still get rust coming up. Not sure how to stop that unless I oil everything down after basically every use.
I sprayed the stainless grill grates and they turned like almost black after spaying vegetal oil so now how I can get them stainless silver color again??
I did this to mine Using canola oil cooking spray. The underside of the lid looks browned as though the cooking oil burned. Did I do something wrong?? Did I do something wrong? What do you suggest? Thanks.
This is a late comment. The reason why a lot of folks don't like the instant light charcoal or charcoal lighter fluid is because it has a heavy charcoal lighter fluid taste. It burns kinda dirty. Get a charcoal chimney and use paper or whatever to light the coal. Then dump into the grill. If done right the food has a cleaner less chemical taste. Clear/bluish smoke is good smoke. White smoke is not good.
Is this specific for this type of grill? For example, why would you need to do this to a porcelain enamel Weber kettle. The porcelain enamel is like the inside of your oven. I understand using it for cast iron grill grates. But what about chrome plated stainless steel grates? The smoke point of most oils is around 300° to 450°. Barbecue grills can get substantially hotter than that, so it seems like this will end up being a a lot of smoke?
Got some Hongso Matte Porcelain enamel replacement grill grates for my Weber Grill. They are from China and who knows if the "Matte Porcelain Enamel" is for real or not but they are for sure cast iron heavy grates, but it says that in the Amazon description. it says to season them but doesn't say how. I just slapped the new Hongso flavorizors and the above-described replacement cast-iron grates into my existing Weber grill and let them get hot for 14 minutes. Is that ok? should I have washed them first, should I have put vegetable oil on them, or can I put the vegetable oil on while they are hot? (Spray), what did I do wrong, if anything? Also, there is no way I could spray oil onto the inside of the lid, it's coated with a thick sludge, which would drip off onto the food. Looking at the inside of the lid reminds me of the sludge that car engines get. I doubt there is any way to get that crap out of the inside of the Weber Grill lid, it would get everything black that I touch or try to clean it with (years of smokey suet is up in there).
What oil is this? I can’t find any spray vegetable oil anywhere. I’ve googled it and nothing suitable comes up. Can anyone in the uk point me in the right direction?
Is one coat enough? I seen other videos that add another coat after 15 min then a third coat after 15 min again. Another question, you sprayed the bottom lower shelf of the grill where Heat doesn’t even touch. Is that recommended, do I add like WD-40 oil spray there instead or stick with the veggie oil spray thru out the entire grill. Thanks in advance
I just got a new grill, so after I season the grill(let it burn for couple of hours), can I use it right away? Or do I need to wait till it's cool down for the seasoning process to be completed?
Ok its 4 of july kids asked me to grill so i went and bought one. Now i didnt know all this info and i cooked on it before seasoning. Can i season it still or now i just set my grill for failure?
This is a great Grill, had mine for 10 years and just got rid of it as it was on its last leg. His process should range from 35-45 min. I did mine different, I did a burn off then I did the spray on/burn looking at 1.5 hours
So I did my next roll 4 burner grill but didn’t quite do it to the -T- as you instructed! So how often do I do it? I also notice it uses a lot of my propane as well doing this procedure.
When you first buy a grill do you need to wash the grates with soap and water? Also my coleman grill came with 6 grates: 3 porcelain coated grates and 3 cast iron grates. Any idea which grates go on top?
Don’t wash the cast iron grates. Just wipe them down and season them and cook them at a high temperature to kill the bacteria. The rest porcelain can be rinsed off with soap and water.
@@asapherd1879 Yea because the non porcelain grates are porous and soap 🧼 will accumulate inside of it and you will never be able to get it out. Porcelain is sealed with non-stick coating. Just rinse with hot water 💧 and maybe some lemon juice.
Do you have to wait for the grill to cool off before grilling after you first season it? I just seasoned mine and it was holding at 450-550 for a couple of hours. So an hour ago I opened it up to cool down and want to use it tonight.
I saw a post online that someone said you season ghr grates before and after every time you use the grill? Your saying once a year lol. Talk about a wide spectrum of opinions
Two different things. Season the entire grill like this once. A year. But season the cooking grates after every cook (you don’t have to do high heat for half hour on the grates. Just put some oil on it and let it rest. )
i am here to tell you....nobody seasoned any grills back in the day....how the hell did we survive???.....it burns off each time you cook......spray it when you cook just like on the stove.....you kids are just way too jacked up about everything......chill out....enjoy the party before you miss it in your state of confusion..
Omg thank you I had no idea you was suppose to season the grill I’m a first time grill owner browsing videos & yours showed up!
I season my grill with smoked sea salt.
I do almost the same, but after washing my grates first, I do an initial burn to get any residue from the painted surfaces for 20-30 minutes w/ the grill open, then do 100% exactly the same as you've done.

Very helpful, thank you! It's one thing to read instructions but so helpful to see someone do it properly!
I just bought my first propane Char-Griller. This video was very helpful. Thank you
Me too!
I brought my grill 4 years ago but was just too lazy to assemble it. I finally assembled it last week and read it the manual to cure the grill????😢 Well, well, I watched your video, which made the process seamless. It is very easy to follow. Thanks. I'm happy for your video. 🎉😊😊
Nice! I liked how you seasoned the outside too!
Good video…I like to season the wheels too, the grill slides across the patio easy
Lmfao
I just bought my first grill. I didn't even know this.
Thank you from the UK!
Fantastic, just bought a charcoal smoker and love the advise!!
Sister bought us a house warming gift. So thank you for this video.
Just bought the same grill yesterday (impulse buy). Thanks for sharing.
The assembly instructions were easy to follow. I have only used it once since assembly andam very satisfied. Heats up quickly and cooks evenly. I would suggest to anyone to use a #2 and #3 Phillips magnetic screwdriver to ease assembly.
Thanks for making this video. I just bought a new pit and this was very helpful
I’ve never known this thank you 🙏 I just got a new grill too
Thanks bro. I did just as you did, same spray and everything!
I would have liked to see the final results. Thanks for the video.
Wow all of this time me grilling, I didn’t know you can do this to stainless grill grates. I have 2 bbq one portable with cast iron grates which looks like new since I knew about how to seasoned it, but my main bbq is stainless and it is degrading faster. Thanks for the tip
Great info mr grill master ..
I just brought my grill and I will be using your concept
Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much for this. Appreciate it. ps When you are off camera and narrating...I swear I am hearing Elvis Presley talking/teaching me how to season my new bbq! :)
Thanks for doing this video! It definitely helped!!

Did you save your grill?
@@colettemcwilliams1325 it seems like it, it's holding up pretty well so far. Even after seasoning though, especially in the firebox side where I don't put food, I still get rust coming up. Not sure how to stop that unless I oil everything down after basically every use.
@Giovanni Martinez don't just buy a grill and season it. Purchase the cover. Protect it-Keeps moisture out, rain, weather-changing elements.
Thank you for this! Gonna do it today.
i like your comments. I'm getting my new grill soon and i will try it if i love it you got a new subscriber bro 😎
Is the inside of a stainless steel (silver) grill supposed to be a brown hue afterwards?
👍🏼👍🏼 V nice. Thanks for the easy t follow instructions. Happy bbq'g.
Chargrill says to heat the grill first and then add the veggie oil spray. Does it matter?
Very helpful. Just bought a new grill and I didnt wash off my grates before this process. Is that a problem?
I sprayed the stainless grill grates and they turned like almost black after spaying vegetal oil so now how I can get them stainless silver color again??
They are supposed to stay black that’s how you know you did a proper job seasoning the grates.
If your grill is stainless should you still spray it with pan or cooking oil ?
So I don’t have to wash the grills with dishwashing soap beforehand?
I'm about to this, but the spray oil didn't say high heat, i couldn't find any worried about a fire
I did this to mine Using canola oil cooking spray. The underside of the lid looks browned as though the cooking oil burned. Did I do something wrong?? Did I do something wrong? What do you suggest? Thanks.
Thank you for the information. Now, I'm ready to season. Tis the season, for me to season, fa la, la, la...sorry, I couldn't help myself.
This was very helpful on how to season! Is it true you can't/shouldn't use instant light charcoals with the chargriller grills?
This is a late comment. The reason why a lot of folks don't like the instant light charcoal or charcoal lighter fluid is because it has a heavy charcoal lighter fluid taste. It burns kinda dirty.

I'm going 2 try THANKS
Thanks mate !
Well I just did this to my brand new grill and it left huge oil stains on the lid… so that’s cool
Too much oil. Cakes on. Have to scrape it off..
should the inside cover of the grill become a golden brown?
I love the double grill, one charcoal and one propane. Where did you get that double combo grill at?
I've seen it at Home Depot & Lowe's.
spraying oil everywhere seems kinda excessive. It wont ruse as long as there is paint on it...
Wow! Great video!! Thank you

What is the container you have where you had the hot wood chips that you threw into the grill?
Charcoal chimney
Can you spray with something other than canola or vegatablw oil? That stuff is poison
Awesome
Video thanks bro!
good to season cooking surfaces but excess on cart
thank you 👍👍
awww that's sad i hope all is well with you bud
What oil is this? I can’t find any spray vegetable oil anywhere. I’ve googled it and nothing suitable comes up. Can anyone in the uk point me in the right direction?
Isn't this a bad idea, like doesn't grease start fires. And spraying this on your grill during fire could risk setting the whole thing on fire right?
Do you do this at the beginning of every grilling season also?.
Do I still oil the outside of the grill even if its stainless steel?
Is one coat enough? I seen other videos that add another coat after 15 min then a third coat after 15 min again.
Another question, you sprayed the bottom lower shelf of the grill where Heat doesn’t even touch. Is that recommended, do I add like WD-40 oil spray there instead or stick with the veggie oil spray thru out the entire grill. Thanks in advance
Can you do this on a pellet grill
Question: do I open or close the vents while curing?
This is an unbelievably silly seasoning procedure, but I went forward with it. Hope it helps.
I bought that exact same grill at lowes out of the box it was rusty at all unpainted area's
I just got a new grill, so after I season the grill(let it burn for couple of hours), can I use it right away? Or do I need to wait till it's cool down for the seasoning process to be completed?
Couple of hours? Did you watch the video? Lol
Ok its 4 of july kids asked me to grill so i went and bought one. Now i didnt know all this info and i cooked on it before seasoning. Can i season it still or now i just set my grill for failure?
Nice video!
How many cans should I get?
How long and at what temp do you hear after priming?
Just bought this grill and im ready to start cooking…How long should this process take start to finish?
This is a great Grill, had mine for 10 years and just got rid of it as it was on its last leg.
His process should range from 35-45 min. I did mine different, I did a burn off then I did the spray on/burn looking at 1.5 hours
Thank you!
Do I need to reseason each time I clean my grill?
Hi nice video i just bought a new gas grill. may i ask ? do you clean it out and re season before winter ? Thankyou and god bless.
Thanks! Yes sir, clean it - but no reason to reseason before you put it up for the winter. Just season when you pull it out in the spring.
Season with what??
So I did my next roll 4 burner grill but didn’t quite do it to the -T- as you instructed! So how often do I do it? I also notice it uses a lot of my propane as well doing this procedure.
Maybe with hot water 💧and Lemon juice. Soap could stick to the grill and then you have that soapy aftertaste the rest of its life.
When you first buy a grill do you need to wash the grates with soap and water? Also my coleman grill came with 6 grates: 3 porcelain coated grates and 3 cast iron grates. Any idea which grates go on top?
Don’t wash the cast iron grates. Just wipe them down and season them and cook them at a high temperature to kill the bacteria. The rest porcelain can be rinsed off with soap and water.
@@asapherd1879 Yea because the non porcelain grates are porous and soap 🧼 will accumulate inside of it and you will never be able to get it out. Porcelain is sealed with non-stick coating. Just rinse with hot water 💧 and maybe some lemon juice.
Can you start grilling immediately following the seasoning.
Yes you can. After you’ve let it burn off the oil on the inside.
@@outdoorcooking-easyguides4745 how long do you let it burn..open or closed? How many times?
Should I season my grill before every cook or only at the start of the season?
At the start of the season.
I use PAM. 👍
Bro... high temp oil breaks down at 470f do your seasoning is gonna burn off
Thanks
This may be a dumb question, but would you spray a stainless steel grill (spraying the outside) as you do the inside?
I just asked him the same question, did you ever get an answer?
@@tammyrules2000 I never did, but all good. I only sprayed the inside and it’s been just fine ☺️
Okay thanks!
Thanks
Chargriller will recommend 200 degrees for 2 hours....not screaming hot
Didn’t burn off manufacturing oils. Never use canola
Right. That’s what I was thinking. Gotta burn In first before seasoning!!!
Do you have to wait for the grill to cool off before grilling after you first season it? I just seasoned mine and it was holding at 450-550 for a couple of hours. So an hour ago I opened it up to cool down and want to use it tonight.
I was wondering the same thing!
This is a great question. Did you ever find the answer to this? I want to do the exact same thing.
Cool beans. Thanks brother.
Why don't you burn off the manufactures oil first? They put oil on their so it doesn't rust. They are more concerned about the looks.
warning, I tried this on my brand new grill and it erupted in flames and almost blew up
Tip for the future use a paper towel and a bottle of actual oil and make sure the grill is cold before ya heat it up
User error
A light coat of veg oil is not going to cause anything to blow up
yeahhh! now ur doing it right!
You should have watched the whole video. At 2:33, he says what you should and shouldn't do, lol.

Word
the word GRILL was used 87 times in this video
that is not a grill, that is a bbq...
You didn't say with what temperature... Come on. Seriously Peanut oil? That would impart taste! Not cool man.
This ain’t chargrill gay
i am here to tell you....nobody seasoned any grills back in the day....how the hell did we survive???.....it burns off each time you cook......spray it when you cook just like on the stove.....you kids are just way too jacked up about everything......chill out....enjoy the party before you miss it in your state of confusion..
Don't turn it up fully just put it on low heat
