New Traeger on the way, any seasoning tips?

Just ordered my first pellet grill. I got a Traeger Jr that should ship this week. I was wondering if there is a recommendation on how to season the grill before its first use. What temp and how long or anything else I should know.
I was also wondering about the upgrades available for the thermostat. Is it worth the money and if so, should I go with the Traeger model or the Ortech? Thanks for any advice.

The owners manual will cover that. As I recall it was around 30-45 minutes on high. Re. The contoller upgrade, yes! Can't advise as to which one to get, but you will not be sorry you upgraded.

Thanks Rip. The Orich has an adjustable smoke knob as well as the temp control. Can't seem to find it anywhere for sale other than on e-bay. I was looking to just buy one instead of waiting for the bidding war to end.
