Thread: Dutch Oven Metallic Smell and Taste

Hi all. Few weekends ago I decided to refurbish and old dutch oven which had a bit of rust and even mould growing in it. I started with taking to it with a wire brush on a drill to remove to rust, mould and old seasoning. Once done I gave it a good wash out with hot soupy water, about half dozen times then seasoned on the BBQ three times using grapeseed oil, the oven didn't go black but went a dark bronze colour. Problem is it has a strong metallic smell and today I decide to cook some sausages and veges in it which had a bit of a metallic taste. I gave it a good wash out after, the water had a rusty colour and when I wiped it dry and the cloth was black and stuck of metal. A skillet I de-rusted and reseasoned a month ago is like this, what have I done wrong? I'm wondering if I didn't clean all the rust and metal dust out before I seasoned it? Any advice will be much appreciated
