The rebar has been used so many times that you might say they are seasoned,,,,The guy that uses this smoker is in his 70's,,,,and believe me he doesn't have lockjaw,,,sometimes we wish he did ( just kidding). As far as wooden dowels,,,remember he is hanging alot of sausage on these rods,,,he wants them to stay up. He is trying to feed people,,,,,,,not the cats !!!! So I guess this thought we will not ponder anymore !!!
