I hot mine with a rosebud to dry it out and use a wire brush occasionally. A little seasoning never hurt anyone though.

clean a smoker??? not sure what tha means...

What I mean to say is that I usually just let the stuff build up a little on the lid and scrape it off when it starts to flake.

For grease and drippings I usually just use a putty knife to scrap it all out when it's cold... cant remember ever taking a hose to a smoker, but I'm a lil' wierd too...

For the weber kettle I use my weed burner to burn off some of the stuff that doesn't hit the drip pan, if I do it every time it doesn't build up to the "flaming kettle of death" level...

Also, it might help to know what kind of smoker you're cleaning out...

I use a product called greased lighting and a power washer then heat it up dry it out and reseason.

I use a wide putty knife to get rhe grease buildup about once a yr. Power wash the food grates now annd then and reseason

simple green on the outside, only (really hot) fire on the inside

RAZORBACK JIM · 12-28-2010, 11:02 PM

I'm confused...I clean the racks and that is all...am I missing something?

Moose · 12-28-2010, 11:03 PM

Aside from removing occasional accumulated grease and carbon build up, there's really nothing else you need to do...

Buster Dog BBQ · 12-28-2010, 11:16 PM

I've taken grates to car wash and sprayed them. Greased lightning in yellow botttle cleans about anything.
