I don't think the potato skins used for the seasoning process count as the first cook. They did smell good enough to eat at one point in the process but were pretty unappetizing by the time they cooked in hot oil and salt for 15 minutes. Next two photos are round 1 seasoning and round 2 put it's hard to tell much difference.
And just for fun - here's the brisket that is smoking away in the background of picture 1.
