Mildew

[ricksegers]

We've been soaked the last few weeks with rain and our usual humidity. I have been having problems with the inside of the smoke chamber mildewing. I don't have shelter for it and keep the unit covered with a tarp. I hate having to clean it out and burn it out everytime before I use it. Any suggestions?

Happens here all the time. Beast in in the shade and it gets the fuzzys after a week or so..

I have a stiff long bristled brush i use. dip it in a little diluted bleach and brush it off as I hose it down.

those fuzzys will actually eat right thru the grease if you leave it there too long... when you wipe them off, your right down to bare betal.

may help to leave it cracked open a bit while its covered.
