Since I was a kid I was always fascinated by fire and smoke, so after playing college ball I set out to become a fireman. As if I didn't have enough fire and smoke in my life a few years back I got into meat smoking. I started out on a cheapo vertical propane smoker. It did the job for a few years, turned out some great meals. It has since been laid to rest after a giant oak tree fell square on top of it. I replaced that smoker with an Oklahoma Joe's Longhorn offset smoker. Just got it assembled and sealed up tight and was getting ready to clean and season it. But I have ran into a problem.
My problem is that the inside of the smoker has some sort of "glue"??? Stuck all over it that I can't seam to break down and clean it. I want to make sure all of that is gone before I smoke my first meal on it.
I was tossing around the idea of laying a bed of charcoal on the lower grates of the smoking chamber to burn it all off. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks
