Any Pit Boss® unit will give you many years of flavorful service with
minimum cleaning. Follow these tips to service your grill:
Grill Interior
• Clean your burn pot out after every few uses. This will ensure proper
ignition and avoid any hard build-up of debris or ash. (A)
• Use a grill cleaning brush to remove any food or build-up from the
cooking grates. Best practice is to do this while they are still warm from
a previous cook.
• Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris on the cooking
components of the grill. Use the flame broiler slide plate to scrape off
the main plate, and vise-versa (B). Remove the debris from inside your
barrel with a wet/dry vacuum. For a deeper clean, use Pit Boss Cleaner
& Degreaser inside and outside of your grill.
IMPORTANT: Due to high heat, do not cover the flame broiler
components with aluminum foil.
Grill Exterior
• Check your grease cup often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind
the type of cooking you do. (C)
• Wipe your grill down after each use (D). Use warm soapy water to cut
the grease. Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers, or abrasive
cleaning pads on the outside grill surfaces. All painted surfaces are not
covered under warranty, but are rather part of general maintenance
and upkeep. For paint scratches, wearing, or flaking of the finish, all
painted surfaces can be touched up using a high heat BBQ paint.
• A grill cover is your best protection against weather and outside
pollutants. When not in use or for longterm storage, keep the unit
under a cover in a garage or shed.
Probes
• Wipe your meat probe after each use. A meat probe not in use should
be rolled up in a large, loose coil. Kinks or folds in the probe wires may
cause damage. Do not place in the dishwasher or submerge in water.
Water damage to the internal wires will cause a meat probe to short-
out, causing false readings. (E)
• Check and clean off any grease or debris from the grill probe shield,
found inside the main grill body, on the back, left-side wall. If the
control board readout is far different from the desired set temperature,
a dirty grill probe is often the issue. Remove the grill probe shield to
access the grill probe, then wipe clean. (F)
• If a probe is damaged, it should be replaced.
