• ALWAYS ensure gas flow is OFF, Burner Dial is
in OFF position, and grill is unplugged before
cleaning or maintenance.
• ALWAYS allow grill, accessories, and pellet box
to cool before any cleaning or maintenance.
• We recommend you thoroughly clean the grill
regularly. Especially after every 20 hours of
cooking, 12 cooks, or completing a cook using
Low & Slow or Bake/Roast functions.
For regular maintenance, use a sponge with
liquid dish soap and water to clean any grease
and smoke residue. Ensure all parts are clean of
soap residue when done cleaning.
Pellet Box and Smoke Box Housing
Remove pellet box and safely discard all contents
after every use. It is not required to clean the
pellet box and smoke box housing after each
use—we recommend using a wire brush to
remove extra creosote after every 10 uses.
NOTE: Only use soap and water. DO NOT use
over the counter cleaning solutions on pellet box.
This may cause combustive or flare-up event.
Flame Tamers
The flame tamers catch any grease or other
dripping residue during grilling and protect
the burners to prevent clogging and flare-ups.
Remove the grill grates and set aside before
cleaning flame tamers.
Use a plastic scraper to clean any residue/
debris from the flame tamers. If necessary, a
stainless-steel grill brush may also be used.
Burners
Remove the grill grates and flame tamers before
cleaning burners. It is essential to keep both the
burner ports and mesh spider screens clean to
ensure safe operation.
Use a damp sponge to clean the top of the
burners and make sure they are fully air dried
before next use.
Mesh Spider Screens
Use a non-abrasive,
soft bristle brush to
clean the mesh spider
screens.
Inside of Firebox
Regularly check and clean the firebox to ensure
safe operation. Excessive grease accumulation
is a fire hazard. Use a plastic scraper to move
any debris buildup inside the firebox to the
opening that funnels down to the grease tray
and ensure grease tray is always emptied before
each use.
Firebox Lid
Use a stainless steel grill brush to scrape away
any colored flakes that resemble paint on
the inside of the lid. These flakes result from
carbonized grease and smoke and are harmless.
We recommend cleaning them as you notice
them to avoid them peeling o and falling into
food.
Grease Tray
Carefully remove cooled grease tray and safely
discard grease contents after each use. Hand-
wash grease tray in warm, soapy water. Grease
tray liners are available for purchase for easy,
hassle-free cleanup. Check grease tray and
dump any water or other contents after a rain or
snowstorm.
Grill Grates
We recommend cleaning the grates after every
few uses. Preheat the grill, use a stainless steel
grill brush to clean o any residue on the grates
from your previous cook, then oil the grates
before adding food.
