I cook on my Lang at least once a week if not more. I religiously clean out my firebox after every cook however the cook chamber doesn't get the same attention. I usually hit the grates with a wire brush after every cook to knock the big stuff off, but that about as far as it goes.
Ben Lang recommends steam cleaning before/after each cook....I don't do it. I'm usually pulling/slicing/chopping/preparing and I just let it go. Today I got up and wanted to fire the pit up and give it a good cleaning. I got temp up to around 300*-350* steam cleaned it and hit with a wire brush. Let it get back up to temp and went through the entire process again. She as clean as a shinny new penny, this is the first time since I've had it(a month)that it has been cleaned this thoroughly.
So the question still remains: How often do you give your cooker a thorough cleaning?
