Has anyone tried this stuff from Camp Chef. http://tinyurl.com/kglwo34

Have seen it for sale in a number of places here in Oz but never picked it up to actually check what is in it.

All they say on the website is - "Made of all natural oils"

They also say - "Apply a thin coat to freshly clean and dry pots and pans for best results" - so maybe it isn't a product to use for seasoning but to protect from rust etc.

Description

Recommended by world champion Dutch oven chefs, Camp Chef’s conditioner is the best way to ‘season’ your cast iron Dutch ovens, grill grates, griddles, skillets or other cast iron products. Made of all natural oils, this conditioner creates a natural, easy release surface and should not be viewed as a chemical non-stick coating. Seasoning your cast iron will allow it to last for generations.

*Cast iron conditioner is temperature sensitive. In cooler temperatures conditioner may thicken. To soften conditioner, simply massage the conditioner tube. In warmer temperatures conditioner may thin out. If this happens open the conditioner with the lid pointed down, as the conditioner may run out rapidly. If the bottle ever develops a clog use a small nail or something similar to dislodge it.

So, c'est tout, n'est pas?

KD, there are answers on the Camp Chef web site. Follow the route I gave above.

Meanwhile, here's an answer re. thickness.

Q&A section has different questions each time I look. I expect one can click to make them rotate.

While Camp Chef won't sell directly to individuals, I have gotten an answer directly from them.

I bought some of this "Cast Iron Conditioner" when I bought my CO from Anaconda.

Here's the back.

It smells like these vegetable chips I get from our local gourmet food distributor.
http://www.ohnuts.com/buy.cfm/bulk-dried-fruits/fruit-mixes-2/veggie-chips
The web site above states that Canola oil is the only oil in the ingredients, so I'm guessing the "conditioner" uses Canola to some degree.

I've done one seasoning pass with this "conditioner" and it looks ok so far...

Without going into too much detail, it looks to me that the product is more of a protectant than anything else, because the tips on the CampChef web site don't mention ovens or BBQs to cure the finish... Perhaps the definition of seasoning is just so open to interpretation?
