Don't know if this has been brought up in cleaning discussions.
Easy-Off (any formula) is a sodium hydroxide (caustic soda or lye) based cleaner.
Besides doing a number (fantastic dissolver) on fat and meat (both protein based), lye is extremely destructive to aluminum.
Don't know most smoker materials, but my Big Chief is 75% aluminum.
TSP can react with aluminum, but generally OK as long you don't get it hot.
DO NOT use TSP around glass.
