Hi All  Should I clean up my electric smoker.. Only been used about a dozen times. looks like the paint is pealing off from the sides.

What to DO??? If I remove the pealing paint,DO I have to repaint..Going to smoke a turkey breast tomorrow.

THanks Dan

You clean the grates, clean out the bottom around the coil. You can lightly clean the sides but do not remove all of that on the sides or you have to go thru reseasoning it again.

Hi Maybe I'll tackle the cleaning after Turkey Day.

Thanks Dan

Hi All

Stupid question what is that  black stuff on the side of my smoker..Is "IT" creosote/pealing paint/grease or whatever, and should "IT" be cleaned/removed? If "IT"needs to be cleaned what would be the best way.

Thanks Dan
