As I mentioned earlier.. I just purchased a cheap Char-Broil offset smoker.. *it's still in the box. I also went and purchased some of this Rust Oleum high heat.. flat black.. 2000F ceramic coating.. *figured.. it was the best they had.. "peel proof".. LoL..
I'm going to purchase some lava lock.. to fill in the cracks.. and to help join the main cook chamber to the fire box.. but was wondering.. should I wipe the parts down with a rag and some alcohol... and then spray with the Rust Oleum.. and then build.. or.. am I supposed to build.. then spray the outer and inner areas down with cooking oil... heat up.. and then coat the outer side with the Rust Oleum? I thought I read something about helping the metal out.. by coating it with oil.. and allowing it to "penetrate" the metal.. I do plan to season the inside once everything is built.. but was mainly concerned with the "proper" outside set-up
Again.. thank you all for your insight.. I think orig.. I was just gonna wipe off the outside.. and then paint it.. let it dry.. and then assemble with the lava lock.
