So I had the water pan completely filled with water for my first cook, which where ribs using the 3-2-1 method (another thread with pr0n to follow), and this is how my shiny new WSM looked the day after:
Water Pan
Bowl
Center Section
Lid
Cooking Grates
Does this look normal to you?
My wife has already cleaned the water pan. Should I leave the rest as shown, or do I want to hose each part, or even brush it (I don't have a grill brush, but the manual mentions crumbled aluminum foil?)?
Is a grill brush better for cleaning the grates than crumbled aluminum foil?
I have read about the buildup on the inside, which is supposed to be seasoning, but I have no idea how this should look like, and how it is supposed to look to justify cleaning.
