Wok Seasoning Question
Options

Just got my first ever wok from the wok shop.
They have a seasoning video here
https://www.wokshop.com/newstore/wok-seasoning/
They say to put it in the oven but I want to use the egg to keep the heat and smell out of the house.
So since I'm using the egg do you think I should go direct, raised direct, or indirect for the oven portion, or does it matter?

There are lots of YouTube videos showing how pro Chinese chefs season a new wok. Check one out.
I'd just create a really hot fir and get the wok right down in there and let it burn off the "stuff" that is on a fresh wok.
Watch the videos - it cool to see how some Chinese cooks just blast the hell out of a new wok and then wash it and then oil it up. Here's one of my favorites:

It matters. Go indirect and treat your egg as an oven.Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga
