PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
After you have finished cooking, prepare for the next cookout cleaning any residue of food from the grids and any charcoal
ash in the following manner:
COOKING GRIDS. Use a long-handled brass wire brush to clean the grids. Remember that the smoker is hot, so wear
kitchen mitts or use a pot-holder to handle the brush.
You do not have to wash the grids after each cookout, but if you wish to do so, use a mild soap and water solution, and then
rinse them thoroughly. Never use a commercial oven cleaner.
CHARCOAL TRAY. The Charcoal tray is located on the bottom of the cabinet. The charcoal tray should be checked and
cleaned regularly after each use to prevent ash from overflowing onto your patio and onto the smoker controls. Make sure the
charcoal fire is completely extinguished and that the charcoal tray is cool. Never dump hot ashes.
CABINET. If there is a build up of ash on the inside of the cabinet, remove it using a plastic putty knife. Do so only when the
smoker is cool.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
To ensure safe and efficient performance, the following components should be inspected and cleaned at least once per year
or after any period of storage exceeding one month.
EXTERIOR FINISH. Rusting is a natural oxidation process and may appear on cast-iron and steel parts. Rust will not affect
short term performance of your smoker.
