Bob: Thanks for posting - especially with the steps listed. I continually have one devil of a time getting the proper temps in my kettles for a single butt smoke, especially when trying to prevent overshoots; I find I constantly fight the "yo-yo" effect getting the temps to settle in the 250º -...

John, I purchased the Weber premium cover for my Summit S-420 last year, and had no problems with it - it's not too snug, and appears to be well-made. I recommend it.

Charles/Chris - Thanx for posting that recipe - I think I'll try it before week's end!

I've purchased a number of the Weber series books from BJ's - and they're normally offered not too far past the original release date - although I can't see them discounting much more off the Amazon price of 13.17 (as of this writing)....

Fatwood sticks? Starter cubes? Newspaper? Sorry, but those of us into pyromania use a propane-fueled weed burner. I picked up a reasonably priced yet dependable one a few months back at Harbor Freight. Convenient and no mess to contend with. Nothing like a bunker-busting flame thrower - did you...

Walter: Thanks for the reply - I've used a smoker box as well, but never got the color (grill temp @ 350º); I'm thinking for my next cook I'll remove the tray(s) and fire up the middle burners - short of the target temps - to see if that'll give me the color/skin texture I'm looking for.

Walter/Steve: I'm a newcomer to rotissin', having just purchased my Summit earlier in the summer - I've done a few birds, but never achieved the color that Walter did on the one depicted in his photo - I leave the middle burners off, and place a tray underneath, per recipe instructions. Did...

Just out of curiosity, Nick, what was the name of the cleaner?

Actually, Jeff, although I inadvertently left that out, I did soak the pan in 2 gallons of hot water, combined with 1 1/2 quarts of white vinegar, for a little over an hour; I feel it may have loosened up the rust a bit, but it still took some elbow grease to finish 'er off. As for bean pots...

Maybe I'll try some Pam spray next, before the Crisco - I may try to fry some more potatoes & onions, sprayed with Pam, in a 425º oven. Geir, I baked the EVOO-oiled pan in a 500º oven for an hour - it smelled, but it didn't appear to smoke.....

Mikey, you may wish to review this article from Cook's Illustrated... BTW, I bought the Mr. Coffee Coffee Grinder - model # IDS75 - at Wal-Mart for under 20 bucks a couple years back, and it works fine.

R: Thanks for the additional resource - here's the results of my second seasoning session (using EVOO again): I just may give Crisco shortening a try on my next attempt....

Here's an update to my last: Following the instructions included in the link provided by Bob, I used 0000 steel wool to lightly remove all signs of visible rust, wiped the pan down, and let it dry in a 250º oven for 20 minutes. Here are the "after" pix: I then rubbed the entire pan with...

By the way, in the event you're interested, here are the "before" pix:

Corey, Bob, and Jim: Thanks to all of you for the input - it's off to the big box store for some double-aught!

Corey, just to be clear, you are speaking of an UNseasoned pan, correct? And if so, what grade of wool did you use, and was it used in connection with anything else, such as cooking oil, or just straight steel wool? I also seem to recall hearing about some sort of concoction involving making a...

Thanks, Jim - my neighbor owns one, I may give that a try....

Hello All: A number of years ago I purchased a Lodge unseasoned 10-inch cast iron frying pan - one with deep sides. This was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and, after a few days, it found its way to the rear of my cupboard where it sat unseasoned and unused. Today I decided to see if it could...
