Care & Cleaning
Cleaning the Light Cover
Over time, a layer of grease and creosote can accumulate on the glass cover of the smoke chamber
light. This buildup will darken the glass and cause the light to be dim.
It is recommended to clean the glass cover after each use by wiping the cover with a sponge or soft
cloth and a solution of mild soap and water, or vinegar and water.
For stubborn stains, use a gentle abrasive cleaner, with a non-scratch sponge.
Cleaning the Waste Bin
After each use, the wastewater and pellets in the waste bin should be disposed. To clean the waste bin,
pull the waste bin carrier out completely from the front of the smoker. Then remove the waste bin from
the carrier, taking care not to slosh the wastewater.
Pour the wastewater through a strainer down the drain, taking care to separate any solid pellet waste.
It is not recommended to use a garbage disposal to dispose of the waste pellets. The solid pellet waste
may then be discarded in the trash.
To clean the waste bin, simply wash the waste bin with a sponge or soft cloth and soapy water. While it is
recommended to wash the waste bin by hand, it may also be safely washed in an automatic dishwasher.
Cleaning the Racks
For light soiling, the wire racks and rack supports may be washed using a sponge and warm, soapy
water. A soft polyester or nylon pad may be used to scrub more stubborn areas of soiling or buildup.
The wire racks and rack supports are also safe to be washed in an automatic dishwasher.
Cleaning the Temperature Probe
The temperature probe may be cleaned with soap and water or a soap-filled scouring pad. Cool the
temperature probe before cleaning. Scour stubborn spots with a soap-filled scouring pad. Then rinse
and dry.
NOTE: Do not wash the temperature probe in an automatic dishwasher as this may damage the probe.
