G'day Jack, I bought a Lodge Logic pre seasoned oven, cooked in it straight off and wasn't happy so seasoned it myself, now it's one of my nicer pots.

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

I have bought several new and used Lodge pots and always season them again before use.
Seems to work better that way.

Didn't have a choice with the 20" I got from Cabelas. I don't have an oven or barbie big enough and am not that experienced to do it on a campfire.
Saying that I've cooked in it a few times and haven't had any complaints yet.

If cast iron is new to me, I season it 3x.

Pre-seasoning, just means keeping the rust off from foundry to the cook's home, IMHO. It's quite thin as coatings go, but sure beats that old hard wax or whatever they put on cast iron to keep the rust off years ago.

Cool

I agree with LK. Most of my Lodge ovens came preseasoned but it was very thin and didn't last long at all before I had to redo them.
