Masterbuilt smoke generator has creosote buildup

[kenny mo]

Hi all, I have a Masterbuilt smoker with the little add-on smoke generator on the side. There is quite a bit of black buildup in the generator which i assume is creosote? Is this normal and does anyone know what I could use to clean it? Like a solvent of some sort?

Thanks!
Ken

I don't think you would want to use a solvent.
A stiff brush should take most of it off.

I use a wire brush and a cleaner called Awesome on my MB40, it eats creosote like there is no tomorrow! I run it for an hour to burn off any residue from cleaner that I missed.
