In the article, David shares invaluable tips on how to season your grill like a pro, emphasizing the importance of this often-overlooked step. As David explains, "The main benefit is less rust. Seasoning your grill protects cast iron and steel from rusting, much like you would with a cast-iron pan or carbon steel. Plus, it adds a nice non-stick surface for all your grilling adventures."

David also dives into the essential steps when you first purchase a grill: "When you buy a new grill, there are two crucial steps: the initial burn-off and then season. The burn-off is like the grill’s first workout – fire it up to get rid of any manufacturing gunk."

And if you’re looking for that secret touch? David’s got you covered with a unique technique: "I like to rub my grill down with lard and onions. Yes, you heard that right – lard and onions. Rub all surfaces with a cut onion and then slather on the lard."
