Seasoning a Stumps Junior Smoker

Fistly apologies for the sound!
This video goes through seasoning a Stumps Junior Smoker. It is aimed at stopping the steel from rusting by liberally spraying oil onto all external surfaces including the racks. The Smoker is then heated to 300f for a couple of hours, to allow the seasoning to take place.

Thank you for the video. Clear and concise steps. Going to make seasoning my new baby next week a cinch! 👌

[@Jetmech01]

Thank you for this. I will be seasoning my Stump’s Classic this weekend so this really helps a lot. This is my first Stump’s so it will be a new experience cooking on it.

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

Good luck, you’re going to love it 😃

[@beasthunt]

I'm looking at getting one of these myself. It's just me and my two boys, basically me but I like the room.

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

Perfect and a great size. Don't forget you can vacuum seal and freeze your pulled pork and brisket 😁

[@CC-te5zf]

Most excellent!

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

Cheers Chad 😁

Late to the game but small suggestion. Place drip pan behind grates before spraying to catch the over spray and save oil. Plus keep your patio cleaner.

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

Thanks George, that will definitely help with the over spray 😁👍

I want this...

Where did you get the rubber stumps mat under your smoker

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

Direct from Stumps themselves

What is your opinion on mixing some wood chunks in with the charcoal in the chute instead of just in the pan below?

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

Hi, I certainly know people that do that but I’ve never tried. My concern would be branching. If your woodchunks (due to being uneven) branch across the chute, you could end up blocking the charcoal and starving the fire. I have no problems with chunks in the ash pan, I only use wood for the first 2 hours of cooking. Everything I’ve read says meat only takes on smoke for the first 2 hours, so chunks in the pan is not difficult to manage. Hope this helps.

This video is great! Are you spraying oil up into the chimney shoot as well from bottom and/or top to keep the inside of the chimney from rusting out? Also did you coat that strip of metal on the front that the door touches? I see it turned to a seasoned brown but didn't actually see you spray/wipe oil on it. Thanks!

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

Hi Travis, I spray everywhere that is bare metal and gets hot during the cooking process. So definitely in the chimney and I did spray the bare metal where the seal touches.

[@travashe]

Hectors Smoke House So does this mean that you also spray down into the Charcoal shoot as far as you can as well or just the very top and bottom as shown in your video?

[@lifesanabyss2727]

Are you still cooking with your yoder? And did you do this seasoning too to it?

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

Yes, still smoking on the Yoder, still using it in Competitions. And yes, I did season the Yoder and the Weber Kettle. 😁

Very interesting video for complete BBQ beginners like myself. With the DigiQ attached did you leave the top vent wide open or did you need to close it up a bit so the DigiQ could control it better? Thanks for uploading.

[@HectorsSmokeHouse]

Hi, I open the top vent fully at all times, with and without the digi Q

[@devonport1978]

Cool. Thanks for the advise.
