    I get a slick shiny black coating inside my smoker

    My guess is too much wood smoking at too low a temperature. Think of a wood burning stove (or fireplace) and if run at too low a temp (a cool fire) you'll get a hell of a build up of the same crud. This can be a major fire hazard at some place if you really 'crank one up.' With wood stoves...
