Does a new WSM need to be seasoned before use?
No. Some smokers must be seasoned before use to prevent the formation of rust, but due to its porcelain enamel finish, the Weber Bullet does not need to be seasoned. You may wish to wipe down the cooker with a damp cloth, or wash it using hot, soapy water to remove any dust or grease remaining from the manufacturing process, but this is purely optional.
