Hello all;
After a few months of smoking, I wondered how/if everyone cleans their smoker. There is some grunge around the door, and such, and smoke buildup. I took a scrub brush to clean around the door seals, and it came off nicely. But, any other thoughts?
Thanks, Rich
I use denatured alcohol on the door seal and the area that it makes contact with. Oven cleaner on the V tray, soap and hot water on the racks and drip pan and only clean the bottom tray when it looks nasty
So far, I have been able to stuff everything in the dishwasher and blast the funk off.. (when the Mrs isn't looking)
I am wondering how to clean the biscuit tray. Before I got my bubba pucks, the 2nd to last biscuit would start to burn, and it left a nasty carbon stain on the feeder tray.
Just use a small brass brush for the puck slider. The crustier the inside walls get the better it smokes.

Or you can use a Dremel with a wire brush attachment.
I just written up instructions for cleaning the generator that indicates how I clean the drive guide (step #3). It is now posted on the recipe site:

If you don't have denatured alcohol, Isopropyl alcohol at a 90% concentration works just as well, and may be easier to obtain in smaller volume.
Cool, thx guys!
I use my leaf blower to blast the rest of the wood shavings and related flaked off funk out of the generator/cabinet... Seems to do the trick.
whenever my wife is not around, i put the v, racks, drip pan and bowl in the dishwasher, run it on heavy pots and pans settings and everything comes out looking brand new. I have not cleaned the inside surfaces, other than the bottom. I sort of like the smoky orange color. P.S if anyone sees a news story of a man who was smoked in his own smoker, it will be because my wife caught me using her dishwasher to remove the burn on leftovers!

After I do this, I run the dishwasher again empty.
If I don't, sometimes the next load has black bits on everything.
She didn't like that.
