Need to clean my stick burner.

[Hawging It]

Hello all! I have smoked numerous times on my Bayou Classic stick burner over the last several weeks. The bottom of the cook chamber is overdue for a good cleaning. Any suggestions on what to use and the best way to proceed. Thanks
ADDED INFO: It is a beautiful sunny day and 75 degrees. Since I now have the inside cleaned up I felt I needed to paint the outside. Even though I bought this stick burner 1 week before Christmas, I have have smoked more meat on it since the purchase than most folks I know smoke in 2 years. LOL! Amazing how High Temp paint can make it look unused.

Yes. De grease

For the future, I suggest you line the chamber floor with heavy-duty foil.

I have always used Super Clean. Looks to be about double the price as Purple Power. I think I'll have to give that a try.

For sure. Great Idea. Just never thought about that. Thanks

Just checked and my local Walmart has both of them. I'll go by today. Thanks

Are you talking about degreasing? If so Purple Power works a treat. At around $5 per gallon that can be diluted to match the task its affordable and works great. Found in the automotive section.

Pressure Washer!!! Take no prisoners...

 

[Hawging It]

Na! However, that would be a quick cleaning. LOL!

Picked up some Super Clean at Wally World. Gallon on sale for bout the same as Purple Power. I have endless supply of oak wood so I have been burning at good high temps since this morning to melt/burn some of that Hawg fat out of there. Will degrease tomorrow. Thanks fellas for sharing all the info!

I did that and most of it ended up on me it seemed. I liked using the weed burner. I probably should clean mine too come to think of it. Well at least scrape the bottom of it. I washed and burned everything else last summer and it's still pretty clean.

Melted/Burned a lot of HAWG fat out of the cook chamber today. Do a little scraping in the morning and add the Super Clean and wash it out. I got the Bayou Classic a week or so before Christmas and I have smoked multiple times a week since then. Probably smoked more times since I bought it, than normal folks smoke in 2 years. LOL! Love the BC.

Wow!! The SUPER CLEAN de-greaser works great! Very easy. I like the results. I'm pretty sure the PURPLE POWER de-greaser works just the same. Both are available at Walmart. Thanks for the recommendations!!

It is some pretty good stuff. Use it for a lot of different things. My brother got me into it. He owns automotive shop. Always has grease to deal with.

Works great for cleaning grime off the boat also.

I pressure wash grates and bottom plate about about once a month. And get the tough spots with a 6" stainless putty knife.
I just use the water pressure to clean it.

 

[Hawging It]

Don't have a pressure washer but I did take the grates to the car wash in town and used their pressure wand to clean the grates. The Super Clean de-greaser worked well on the cook chamber bottom. Had to scrape some tough spots as well. Going to put heavy duty foil layer in the bottom of the cook chamber and see how that works.
