I'm going to paint the outside and was just going to coat the inside with mineral oil. However, I was thinking that (while the wife is at work) I could put the pieces in the oven and season them with Canola oil (inside faces only) Trouble is that most of it is made from 1/8th inch thick cast iron. I'm a little afraid of stuff cracking? Any input? I BELIEVE IN MY GOD, MY COUNTRY AND IN MYSELF.

That will actually benefit the material as it relieves stress in the metal. I do that when I have to weld cast parts. Let's go Brandon "Shall not comply" with morons who don't understand "shall not infringe."

Wipe it on then wipe off until it looks dry. Back in the oven for an hour then kill the heat and leave the oven closed until back to room temp. Repeat twice more for your basic coat.
