Is there intervention?

Okay. NO smoking today. Today is cleaning day.  Any hints on cleaning?  besides warm, soapy water, as the web site suggests??  I soaked the Drip Tray overnight in warm water with automatic dishwashing detergent drizzled over the tray.  The cooked-on 'globs' loosened very nicely. I will browse the forum to see if I find cleaning suggestions. 

and . . . don't tell me that your wife cleans it because I am the wife in this duo.  ;)   ::)

I clean the racks, water bowl and v-tray after each smoke. Also wipe down the door seal.

The bottom tray every few smokes, and every 6 months or so I take apart the vent and clean it. (that would be today for me)

I use a crumpled up ball of aluminum foil to scrape the interior of the vent and the "ceiling" - in my smoker that is where the black stuff tends to flake off.

If you get the black smoke coating flaking off anywhere else, get rid of that too. If it gets on your food it tastes nasty.

I do about the same as FLBR does. Racks every smoke, V tray water bowl every couple smokes. I wipe the seal and sealing surface every smoke. I clean the vent but do not disassemble every few smokes. Knock off any loose baked on bit every so often.

mbm;

Have you seen the Bradley Smoker FAQ's there is a lot of helpful information there.

mbm,
Clean the racks and the drip tray.  Wipe the door seal and where it touches the tower with rubbing alcohol but don't clean the interior of the tower.  You want it as black as you can get it.  If it begins to flake, lightly brush the flakes off.  Black in the tower means great smoke flavor for future smokes.

Congrats mbm.  My wife does all the hard work and I get all the credit.
