normally works better if you clean it the day you cook in it...
 jk bro...i do the same. i've heard if you rub some earl on it after cleaning...it makes cleaning it the next time alot easier.

First I empty my pot of leftovers and save it. I then take my pot and put it back on the stove over a high fire. Then i I use about a quarter cup of kosher salt or rock salt with a cup of water and put it in the pot. I take an old dish rag, grab it with a pair of tongs and clean out my pot. I then empty it rinse it out and put it back on the fire till it dries. Then I put about a tablespoon or 2 of Crisco and smear it around with a paper napkin.

It all depends on what you cook in it.
If you fry something, you just wipe it out after dumping the oil. If something sticks that you cannot get out by rubbing with a rag, put it on the fire with a little bit of water and when it boils, it will clean the pot. Dump water, heat up till dry and oil. Don't ever use soap. It will make it taste bad next time you cook. You can buy them already seasoned at the factory from Lodge. If not, I oil mine real good and turn upside down on a cookie sheet and put on a real hot bbq pit, or in an oven a couple times, then oil again and let cool. Then cook some fried taters in them 5 or 6 times and cover, don't remove the oil. The oil soaks in real good. Makes it more non stick.

hot water... if you put soap on it, it dries it out, plus mawmaw would knock the fire outta you if she caught you using soap on a black pot.. put it on the stove and heat it up to make sure its 100% dry so it dont rust. then rub dat oil on dat.

I had gotten some for our wedding...I'm sorry, my wife got some for our wedding lol...they are the lodge pre-seasoned ones but they don't look too seasoned to me. You think I should strip them down and recoat them or just cook alot of greasy stuff in there to get them right?

My parents had a pot that was never seasoned and has some rust on it that they were going to throw out that I took. The question I have is how do you get rid of the rust and then season it.

Brush the rust off with a wire brush and rinse the rust dust off... Get you some veggie oil and wipe it on dat pot.. then i use a gas grill to "burn it" or you can use your oven but its gonna make some smoke in ya house. about every 30 minutes, or after every beer, open the grill, and wipe some more oil on dat pot.. do that till your pot is as black as you want dat... ANd the more you use it, the blacker and better it gets..
