Not only are you involved, you're now obligated. :)

You should really consider not using soap at all. You're not supposed to. Hot water will work just fine. If you need to scrub, use a non-abrasive scrub sponge or salt and a paper towel.

With the soap, you're preventing the cast iron from building up its seasoning. And there is no cook wear better than a really well-seasoned cast iron pan. You're just not giving yours an opportunity to get there.

Since the price was right, I took the cast iron grates LiveSteam offered me. After some minor modifications as they were a bit too big for my grill, I cleaned them with steel wool and they are ready to go. Any suggestions (paging Fire Me Boy)on how to go about seasoning these? Should I just wipe them down with cooking oil and start using them? Or is there some other procedure I should use?

Wipe them down with BACON:banghead:

Everything must have bacon

LMAO That's not a bad idea, I may just go with that.

You can do one of two things: Either cook on it and take very good care of it for a while, or season it before you cook on it. For an outdoor grill, I would highly recommend pre-seasoning. This will take some time, but I've never been led astray by Cook's Illustrated:

Oh yeah, I remember that thread. I'd rather not have the oven going any more than I have to this time of year so I'll probably just cook on them for a while, and then strip and re-season them sometime this fall.

Cool. Wipe 'em down with oil (bacon grease works well) before you cook on them. Then bring them inside, clean them, DRY them and wipe 'em down again and get back outside on the grill while the fire dies down. Until they're really well seasoned, you probably don't want to leave them outside.
