Taken the plunge and a quick Question

Hi all,
I have spent a lot of time reading through the forum and finally bought a proq frontier.
I am really looking forward to using it and would love to post pictures as good as what I see.
I do have a question though which I am unsure of (it may sound obvious to you, but not to me).

The instructions after building say that I should run it empty of food first to burn off any residue in it, and condition it.
Should this burn in involve a water pan filled with water or not?

Thanks for you advice in advance folks.
regards

I filled my water-pan when I did it, more out of ignorance than expertise, I figured they supplied it to be filled and it couldn't hurt. Don't know if it was right or not

Thanks Guys,

Light it with the water pan in it empty - you want to burn off all the manufacturing stuff from the water pan too!

Just fired mine up dry the first time too.
Good choice, I got my frontier just before xmas and am loving it.
cheers

Fired it up on Friday, and today I dropped in a chicken and a 2.5kg pork shoulder.

I am so glad I did, but with one issue. How did the neighbours know what was happening and turn up just when the pork was done!!!

On a serious note though, the advice here is really good, and the chicken and pork were lovely. I didn't expect it to turn out so good first time. I should have taken pictures, but I was too caught up with sitting watching my frontier.

Both sets of neighbours are really interested and one of them is talking about getting a smoker now...I directed him to read a lot of the posts here first.

Thanks.
