• It is recommended to clean your feed system after every few uses. This will ensure proper ignition and avoid any
hard build-up of debris or ash in the burn pot.
• Use a long-handled grill cleaning brush (brass or soft metal), remove any food or build-up from the cooking grids.
Best practice is to do this while they are still warm from the previous cook. Grease fires are caused by too much
fallen debris on the cooking components of the smoker. Clean the inside of your smoker on a consistent basis. In
the event you experience a grease fire, keep the Main Cabinet doors closed to choke out the fire. If the fire does not
go out quickly, carefully remove the food, turn the smoker off, and shut the cabinet doors until the fire is completely
out. Another way to extinguish a fire is to wrap aluminum foil around the smoke stack, closing off air to the interior.
Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available.
• Check your grease tray often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind the type of cooking you do. Ensure the grease
exhaust tube is clear of any blockages.
IMPORTANT: The water pan may accumulate grease. Line the water pan with aluminum foil for easier clean
up after cooks. Refill and replace the water in the water pan often.
• The glass of the cabinet door is tempered and will not break with high heat; however, excessive build-up may cause
the door to not close if not cleaned regularly. Smoke and debris can be removed with frequent cleaning of the glass.

• Wipe your smoker down after each use. Use warm soapy water to cut the grease. Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive
cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside smoker surfaces. All painted surfaces are not covered under
warranty, but rather are part of general maintenance and upkeep. For paint scratches, wearing, or flaking of the
finish, all painted surfaces can be touched up using high heat BBQ paint.
• Use a cover to protect your smoker for complete protection! A cover is your best protection against weather and
outside pollutants. When not in use or for longterm storage, keep the unit under a cover in a garage or shed.
