Let me start by saying that I am anal about keeping my grill clean. I have it about a month, used it maybe 10 times and have scrubbed the plates and grills twice with biodegradable BBQ cleaner. Incidentally, I clean the grill after each use. Decided today to pick up a small wet/dry vac for the pellet dust.
Broke everything down and was concerned when I saw wet, smelly grease on the plates and fire box cover. Vacuumed the dust and cleaned the muck. I then ran the grill up to 400* for a half hour in the hopes that it would burn off what was left.
The grill is my patio and is covered at all times. We have had very heavy rains here in South Florida over the past two weeks - possible humidity is causing the moisture? Anyone else experience this? Other than putting the smoker in the bedroom (I don't think my wife would go for that - LOL!) - I'm not sure how to keep things dry.
