@Char-Griller Gravity Fed 980 Best Way to do the Burn-in Process

hey welcome to grilling smoke barbecue i'm jeffrey so as you can see got a new toy for my channel uh today we're gonna do a burn in i mean you've already seen it be set up by probably a lot of people by now so i'm not gonna take you through that but the reason i'm gonna do the burning because i do mine a little different from how other people do theirs so i think mine is better i've never had it rust on me with some of the other ones that i've done i found that it kind of works so i'm gonna share that with you and we're gonna see what it do char griller baby let's go all right so let's go and get this thing ready gonna get the doors open also get the fan open now what we have here is some regular kingsford since we're just going to burn in i'm not too concerned about filling it all the way [Music] probably more than enough all right so i already got those open i'm going to use some of these uh fire starters that i found at heb give them a try just to see what they're they're actually good it says uh you can just take it leave it in the pack and just light the pack and it should burn all the way through so i'm gonna do is take this stick it in here already got the pan right there i'm not gonna use any wood for this burning i'm just going to burn with coal what i am going to do is i'm going to spray the inside of this with some canola oil [Music] now i'm gonna go ahead and uh get the fire lit i will say it did light quite easy we'll get at about three to five minutes oh gotta make sure you take this out as well almost forgot has a little latch right here if you leave that on let's go ahead and power this on now as i said i'm gonna do this a little different so for the first 15 minutes i'm gonna do this at 300 degrees for the next 15 minutes i'm gonna do it at 350 for the next 15 minutes i'm gonna do it at 400 and for the next 15 minutes i'm going to do it for 450 which is going to be a total of an hour and i've never had anything rust on me curing the paint that way so we'll see if it keeps true with this one okay that's been going for about four minutes now don't go ahead and get this shut down leave that one open we're gonna set our temp to 300 close this and let it go for 15 minutes so while this fit first 15 minutes is occurring i'm just gonna take this time to let y'all know that um fourth of july is coming me and jeff over at outdoors with jill are doing a collaboration for for july cook um not gonna be nothing too hard just gonna be like some basic what you would find fourth of july backyard grilling uh so look out for that that should be dropping on um friday give your time to look at it get an idea for uh fourth of july which is on sunday so back to this burn in okay so we've been 15 minutes we hit 300 i'm sorry been on 300 for 15 minutes and i did not start the 15 minutes until it got to 300. so what i'm gonna do now from the app i'm going to show you i'm going to change the temp to 350 as you see changed on there it's gonna go to 350 and i'm gonna go ahead and start a new timer for another 15 minutes and confirm that hopefully y'all could see that i don't know if it was blurry or not but the time 15 minutes temp 350. another 15 minutes okay so it's been another 15 minutes we're at 350. now we're going to turn it up to 400. and we're gonna set another timer for 15 minutes and we'll be back at 15 more minutes all right so here we go go to our last 15 minute segment we're going to take this from 400 to 450 but one thing i did notice before when i did the timer i accidentally set it for 15 hours instead of 15 minutes but i did catch it four minutes in and adjusted it so we're gonna go ahead and change this to 450 and we're going to do the timer this time for 15 minutes which before i had the 15 here now i have it over here you can hear the fan kick on i believe you should be able to hear it and also what i've noticed a lot people start their of the tar gorilla gravity and there's a lot of smoke that comes out at first but as you can see and i'll show later as it settles in it gets like everything gets settled in from the heat the smoke doesn't appear as bad anymore so i think everything just needs to settle down and fit together and then it's a pretty good seal but we'll be back after this 15 minutes all right so we're finished with the burn in now so what we're going to do now we're just going to go ahead we're going to shut it down let it cool off so the first part of that go ahead and turn the power off by just holding the button and that's that i'm going to go ahead and close this back vent it's a little warm i suggest you if you don't have hands that can take it wear some gloves um and i'm just gonna go ahead and unplug it just to make sure that everything goes out i'm going to close this vent for the fan and go ahead and put this blade back in and that should basically do it it should be ready to cool down and we completed the burn-in next one's going to be to cook don't forget about the collaboration i got going on with outdoors with jeff that'll be dropping friday for the 4th of july i will tell you what i'm making but yeah i'm gonna make you wait but uh let me end
