I got one recently, they are brilliant!
To season it I got some olive oil and rubbed that round the inside and out with some kitchen roll, then popped it in the oven upside down for about 2-3 hours (don't forget the lid too), let it cool, you'll notice its sticky but then the next day I did the same process again and hey presto its not sticky anymore - I only did mine twice but they say to do it at least 3 times
I used mine over a campfire using a friends tripod like this:
We made bread too
I just bought one of the tripods from Lidl which comes with a firepit and will use it over that for non-campfire sites
I also use it in the oven at home, cooks things quicker
One thing you MUST NEVER do is put cold water in it when its hot as it will crack
Also don't leave it wet as it will rust
Once dry I then rub some more olive oil inside and out and put away in the cupboard
Enjoy your DO!
