Challenge with my smoker?

[beefmann]

poke..

try cleaning the puck burner with steam to break the build up apart,,, I  have had a  similar build it and steam cleaning it  takes care of it

[pokermeister]

I have had it virtually spotless, but continue to have buildup right before the puck burner plate after each smoke, about 1/4 inch wide.

Mine gets a bit of buildup now and then.  I use a putty knife to scrape it off.

Just hold up the bottom of the puck burner so you dont bend it down

I use a wire brush to clean the puck slide and heat plate.
