"porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grate"

I've never played with a Baby Q, but from that description, it sounds like something similar to a dutch oven where it's ceramic glazed over cast iron. It shouldn't need seasoning.


But if it's exposed, then yes, you should be season it just as a rust prevention issue. Just scrape it down after you use it and make sure it's oily. I don't think it's super hard to do that. My cast iron pan on my stove is perpetually dirty and just covered in salt and oil. I just give it a quick wipe with paper towels before I start using it.
