To clean the inside and outside of the smoker cabinet, simply use a damp cloth. Spray-washing with
a water hose is not recommended. Moisture should be wiped away and not allowed to stand inside or
on top of the smoker. Once cleaned, you may prefer to lightly coat the interior of the smoker cabinet
with cooking oil or cooking spray.

NEVER apply additional paint to the interior of the smoker. If rust is present on the interior of the
smoker, clean it thoroughly with steel wool or emery cloth and lightly coat the area with cooking oil
or cooking spray to help minimize recurring rust.
When an LP tank is not connected, and to help prevent dirt or other foreign particles from clogging
the regulator connector, hang the end of the hose and regulator assembly on the tank retention wire.
