I've been reading on other forums about the best temperature to season ovens, most people recommend 400 to 450 deg Farenheit (200-230 deg Celsius) which is as high as my oven goes, others are saying over 500 deg while Lodge pre season theirs over 600 deg !
What temp do you season your pots at and if you haven't got a mate with some sort of commercial oven how do get these temps ?
I have to wait until my mate is away before I use her oven. Line it with Alfoil, open all the windows and have the exhaust going full blast and it's still risky lol.

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

I recently did some of my CI as per the instructions posted by Skip.
It worked a treat. Even the quality of my oven and skillet was poor and very rough in the surface.

I did mine in a 4 burner hooded bbq. Got up to 550F and smoked like like tyres burning, but only for about 10 minutes.

Hi,

I always recommend high-temp seasoning. It really does provide the best surface to start cooking on. I season on a gas grill that has an accurate thermometer. Your temperature is too low if your oven comes out sticky or light brown rather than black.

Keep in mind that as you get into higher temperatures you are getting close to the temps where you can burn off all of the seasoning, so make sure that you know the temp and don't let it heat too long. If I turn my grill all the way up, it will burn off all the seasoning in about an hour.

I gathered I still should season the new Lodge I am getting even though they say they are preseasoned.

The fire alarms go off here even if I open the oven with a roast so I am a bit nervous if I heat up the CO in it. Regarding lining the oven with foil, I wonder if double strong foil would withstand the heat if a parcel was made of it around the CO. That would catch any drop off and stop the smoke escaping. I might have to wait till the MOTH is not home Cheesy

Nope you won't need to season that one Carolyn. Just a good wash and cook away. In my opinion Lodge have just about the nicest seasoning finish in the business, far superior to the Camp Chef one's I have purchased.

It isn't really necessary as the seasoning will get better with use and it is far better than the Camp Chef preseasoning.

I didn't reseason my 8" Lodge and it is really good now. It's the one I did the butterscotch sauce in. When I got home I just run hot water in it and gave it a scrub with a brush and it's as good as new. Wink
