Cooking on the Campfire

Don't know if it's right or wrong, but my grandmother and my mother always seasoned their cast iron. They washed it , rinsed then immediately turned a stove burner on and sat the pan on the burner. You could watch all the moisture evaporate away. After 30 seconds or so when pan dry they turned burner off. Let pan cool a few minutes and put it away. There pans were in wonderful condition and I am now retired and my mother is still using 1 of the frying pans she had when I was a kid.
