Cleaning Your Smoker / Grill

Use the Weed burner.. in my 250 Gallon offset... Just wire brush the fire out of it above the grates.. in the bottom below the grates i leave and maybe do it 4 times a year.. and hit it the same..

I wipe the inside down with white vinegar after every cook and make sure to get all the ash out before I put the cooker away. The idea of smoking with sugar mold near is a bit much for me. After a 10 hour cook the last thing on Earth I want to do is spend an hour getting even grimier by giving the smoker a light bath but you gotta do what you gotta do. Maybe this year I'll just smoke more often and clean less...
