Re: New comer to dutch oven cooking--"thin coat" 
If it was mine, I would season it at 500 degrees in a grill for an hour.  It will be smoky, so I wouldn't do it in the house.  Worth a try.  You might get lucky and end up with a nice black seasoning.  Without seeing it, it is hard to tell.  The thick stuff might flake off.  If you have a self cleaning oven you could put it in there to clean it, but that will smoke too.  I have no experience with burning seasoning off a dutch oven.  That sounds pretty extreme.  They will crack.  Others might disagree with my opinion.

They are great for roasts.  I have fried in mine too.  It didn't hurt the seasoning.
