Kettle Lid

[Dirty Steve]

Hey guys. So I have this Kettle that was given to me and all I have done was throw some briquettes in and cook and sometimes some wood chunks. I was going to rinse the lid down and just happened to look underneath which I don’t I ever have because I set it on a umbrella stand when I need to maneuver. Is this just years of cooking smoke peeling off? I can’t imagine it’s paint, no way It’s paint. Scrap that crap I assume right? Dumb question but I’m prepping the Kettle, Genesis and pit boss for the weekend. Thank you in advance.

Yep swipe it off and cook on

Thanks Mike. Will do. Looks like rhino liner. All good.

That's normal especially using wood . I have a stiff brush I keep by my kettles . I use that to get rid of it .

That's just smoke build-up. I get the same in my offset. Just brush it off and cook.

I use a small plastic putty knife to knock it off. Kettles are porcelain coated so it's definitely not paint peeling.

I get that in my kettle.
Get some foil and make into a ball and scrub it off.

I believe it is carbon build up, not a problem at all. Here is the brush I use to knock it off. Just a tire scrub brush. I use it to sweep out the ash too.
