Cast iron seasoning

JMCXL

Has anyone seasoned their cast iron pans in the  egg instead of the oven? Worried it might leave a smoky flavor to the pan?

Well, here goes nothing 
Used Flax Seed oil - very thin coat

Curious to see how it goes . My wife raises hell when I season in the oven , stinks up the house

I have seasoned several in the egg and it works great, Doesn't stink up the house and does not leave smoky residue. Just get a clean burning fire and good to go.

Smokey flavor to the pan? Easy work-around: don't eat the pan.

Seems to have worked great

I do it all the time. Put my pan(s) in when I shut it down from a cook...

I did the same thing after a cook tonight.  Made some burgers in the large.  Then, when shutting down, I sprayed a comal with cooking spray and wiped it down.  It is similar to the one you have on the bottom rack in your pictures.  The large was at 350 degrees when I shut down.  This has worked great for me in the past.  I will see how it turns out in the morning.

That's the only way I season my cast iron.

My comal seasoned up nicely.  

That is good because my daughters have made a request for grilled cheese on the BGE tonight.

The BGE and the comal team up really well for making grilled cheese!
