What Kind Of Clear Coat To Use For A Smoker [PitMaster Secrets Podcast: ep. 3-8]

If you want to use a clear coat paint or linseed oil on your smoker, then this episode is for you!
In this episode of the PitMaster Secrets Podcast I answer a question I was recently asked about the kind of clear coating or clear coat paint I use and where I get it from.
If you have a question I didn't answer in this episode then please leave a comment so I can answer it!

If you want to buy some clear coat, Here's a link below to the search I did on Amazon.
NOTE: After this episode was published, I did this search to see if I could find some updates on other brands not mentioned in this episode and I noticed the Eastwood 2K in this search.
If you are willing to spend the money, I would try that first as I have had great luck with their products in the past!

You just answered the question I've had, since I built my Bride's grill. I painted it with the VHT orange, since she's a Clemson Tigers fan. and had to use clear over it because the orange was flat. The clear tuned it milky and now I wish I had left it flat.

Hello. I have been spraying my 120 gallon with Pam. It just isn’t lasting long. Can I just put the linseed on it like it is or do I have to wash all the Pam off now? Thank you.

I used the quart can of VHT on a friend's cooker that I built, but he ordered it off Amazon, your right I wouldn't use that stuff on another smoker I build. I put several coats on the firebox and he burnt that stuff off within a year. But he also wasn't the best at temp control for the first few years. I seen him go from 100° to having the temp gauges pegged out in 30 mins. So I am sure the firebox was well over the temp limit of the paint. My advice is if you really must paint your smoker learn temp control and how to slowly get your cooker to temp. Throw just a few splits in at a time to get to temp, don't throw 10 sticks splits in and expect it to slowly rise in temp. Once all those splits start you will be well over your desired CC temp.

Can you do a smoker in a burnish finish? like the bluing of a gun barrel? i saw some metal nuts and bolts that had been heated up and dipped in oil and it looked amazing...... Just curious......if anyone has any knowledge of how to do that would you give mesome info? thanks

I built a 120 gallon vertical, wood, smoker on a trailer. Once I got it mounted, I light it, got it hot, wiped it with oil, just like when I season cowboy woks and it worked for me.
