I read few seasoning FAQS that said to do this, and then others that said not to as it can raise the grain of the wood. Those recommended just using a dish filled with distilled water.

Recharge the puck too.

As of this morning, the beads were pretty much all translucent, which I understood meant that they were holding water. I need to charge them when they turn chalky, right?

As too the salt test dont get in a hurry.....

Is 24 hrs enough, or should I go even longer? I've seen everything from 6 hrs to 24.
