Do I really need to clean/wash the inside on my gateway drum smoker?
I clean the bottom from time to time but I have not yet cleaned the walls.
Just watched a clip on YouTube where they clean the inside to the metal and they recommend to do so every 4-5 cooks.
I have had my gateway for about 1 year and never done anything yet and it still works great, no bad smell or taste from the inside so why clean it?
Isn’t it the same as other cooler that it’s like a layer of seasoning?
Or is the whole thing about cleaning it so often just to make it last for years and years?
Hope for some good reply’s
