I guess I'd still be inclined to season it once more before use. I just can't believe that it's that well seasoned from the factory.

I need to purchase my own as I've been mooching one from my troop the past couple of trips.
In my quest to find out what they use to season the iron I talked to the lady at Lodge. They take it up to a much higher temp (?) than you can on a gas grill or oven in their kiln. So I could see how the oil would penetrate deeper than a home seasoning job.

Though I've had good success on a gas grill with canola oil at about 450* for an hour.
