If I just use this for searing, is there any point in attempting to keep it seasoned?

    Yes, keep is seasoned. You don't have to be OCD about it. Good advice above. Eating off of a rusty surface is the alternative. Not tasty.

    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
    "Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    And be sure to use the flip side.

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    I don't think you need to try and keep that nice black shiny smooth seasoning that many CI fanboys shoot for. If areas of seasoning burn out just make sure to keep an oily film on it after cleaning so it doesn't rust.

    you can just seasoned the side you use......other side will rust but it that doesn't bother you, then just one side is ok.

    Keep it well oiled and make sure you store it in a very dry place.  That's all you need.
