My old faithful Bradley is starting to not feed bisquettes reliably and it looks like the tray and pusher are gunked up with tar and resin. I would like to remove the cover from the smoke generator and clean it out but before I cause a problem, I'd like to know how I should proceed. There are about four screws which I can easily remove but I can foresee a problem if something inside falls into something else. Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks

Remove the screws on the bottom around the perimeter, NOT the ones in the middle.

It's a piece of cake. I was worried the first time I did it. Just pay attention to what goes where and where it came from. You'll have to disconnect a couple of wires in there buy they snap together again easily.
I've got a 6 rack and an old OBS. The old one wasn't feeding pucks consistently. Turns out the motor had a couple of stripped gears. Ordered a new one from Bradley and installed it. It's a little tricky because of some small clips but it now works like a charm.
