Obviously, after everytime I smoke a batch, I clean the drip pan, water pan and racks.
Should I be cleaning the inside walls???? With What??? How Often???

Welcome to the forum Mbrott.
The walls really don't need to be cleaned unless you get some flaking of the seasoning coming off and even then you just give it a dry scrub to knock the loose stuff off. The only other time you would clean the walls would be if you got a bunch of grease on them somehow, personally I have never had that happen. The inside of the smoker just keeps gettin' blacker! ;)
The only thing I would add to your cleaning ritual would be to wipe down the door seal and the mating surface after each smoke. If you don't the door seal can stick pretty good to the cabinet.

Welcome to the forum. You may also want to take the vent off and clean after a few smokes so that it will open and close easily. Also shake out and blow off any sawdust from the smoke generator and possibly scape off any build up on the puck burner plate. the Bradley is really a low maintenance machine.

the basic cleaning you hit on the head...the racks v tray and bowl should be cleaned after each use..
one thing you may want to try is get a tub just bigger then the v tray.. and racks.. then place boththe v tray , racks and bowl in the tub add a little soap and then fill with water to cover all the trays and racks... let soak over night ,,, then clean...
the tub should measure about 18 inch long...15 inch wide and about 8 inches deep... ( measurements are miniumn size though i wouldent go much bigger )
what use to take me 30 to 60 minutes to clean .. now takes me less then 10 for 4 racks, v tray and bowl after an over night soak
good luck and welcome to the forum
Mine seem to clean up fine in the dishwasher :)
Thanks....we have been soaking the racks and drip pan since the start. We clean the magnetic strip also and try to get rid of everything that is loose.
My brother and family came over last night and were speachless after eating the brisket and pulled porkl.
It is so much fun....Only problem is that I eat to much while cutting and pulling.!!!!
