I think it's time to clean out the smoker. Has anyone power washed theirs before? I have a lot of creosote build up. Do you also re-season it as well?
WHAT???!!! ........and wash out all the flavor!!! I never wash but I do scrape the inside if needed and then reapply smoke to protect it from rusting.
I never washed my mes30 with water, I just scrape it once in a while to knock the loose stuff off.
