Hmm. Don't leave oil sitting in there when you burn it. Just a light coat at a time. I use flax.

Yes just wipe a light coat in the pot then fire it up let it smoke off then wipe another light coat. The thinner the coats the better the seasoning. Plenty of YouTube videos out there.

Fry something in it or make a roux. It will season it perfectly.

Yeah, the heat it till it catches fire thing is a myth. The guy with the flax process is right on. Wipe on a thin layer when pot is cold, mop up any that pools at bottom. Heat til it smokes, then let it cool. Repeat. Flax oil makes the hardest, slickest surface per science and what not.
Also using it a lot for frying/cooking

Fry potatoes in it a few times. The guy I bought my pot from said to do.

Make sure you scrub it with a brilo pad when you are done, the pink soap works wonders

Nah, get all that crud out of there. Fry chicken in it a few times and then just use it a bunch. Itll get good with time. Frying stuff helps alot, especially chicken or cracklins ince they take a while to cook.

Depending on pot size here is what I do and it leaves a nice smooth black season.
Get your bbq hot - about 550. Put your pot and lid in there. Go to the butcher and get lard and fat trimmings. Get the pot hot and get a rag (cotton) and start wiping it with the lard. Throw the fat trimmings in and stir it around real good. It is almost like youre making cracklins, but you want it to burn onto the pot.
Do this to the outside of it and the lid. You will have a nice jet black gloss that is great for cooking.
I should also add. To cool it, remove all the excess that is in the bottom of the pot by wiping it out with a rag. Set it somewhere and let is cool completely. This is when the oil is absorbed into the metal.
This process can be repeated as needed. Do not use metal cookware in this pot after. Only wood.

That's an unnecessary guideline. If you're using it, itll stay slick. I think using a stainless paddle helps over time. Our oldest pots are the smoothest and they've had nothing but metal paddles in them.

How did you do this?
Posted on 8/17/19 at 11:39 am to Jim bean xxx
Pro tip. Coconut oil.
I sand all of my pots as smooth as possible. Wash once with soap. Then wash until no smell of soap is discernable.
After that, heat thoroughly to dry.
Apply oil with a silicone oven mitt. Thin. Heat well.
Cool and repeat oil/heat

Use it a bunch too.
I fry all my bacon in mine and will often leave the grease in the pot to soak.
Bottom of that pot looks like volcanic glass now.

I also use flax.adter having many lots using different techniques, flax is the only way to go.
Heat pot to open pours. Coat lightly with flax then try to wipe it all off with lent free towel. Bake for 90 mins at 500/550. Repeat several times until you’re happy with the finish.
When done, your pot will be slick and will have no oily residue to the touch. You can wash it with soap without issue. Just heat back up on stove to dry and then add a light coat of flax to store before next use.
