[alan mcfadden]

Just took it off smoker wife carved it we ate it and it was delicious....Sorry guys and gals we both forgot to snap a picture...Doing a test run on a loin tomorrow I'll make sure I snap 1.....

That is my usual story!
It could be anticipation, alcohol, or just old age.. Ha
We almost always forget the photo op!

Clean the racks and you're good .

I only clean mine once a week <If it's used>. I fill a big ole play pool with soapy water, put the racks and grease trap in, and the water pan and clean the window and build up around thermal sensors. That is all I do, and I bet some members will think I'm OCD ;)

Alan you got 1 smoke on that thing . Wash the racks you cooked on , and any that were under the food and you're good .

I don't clean my smoker.... I sterilize it....
Prior to any smoke, I run the temperature up to 275 for a couple hours... Post the smoke, I run the temp up to 275 for a couple hours... Sanitize the gunk... Wiping down doesn't kill any left over pathogens... Sanitizing does....

I wash the racks water pan as mentioned above. I line the water pan and the drip tray with aluminum foil. If it gets all gunked up I change it out. As far as the interior is I use a water vinegar mix in a spray bottle to wipe it down if I start getting a lot build up inside. This works better if it’s warm so you can also pour that mix into your water pan and heat her up. After i rinse it down with plan water.
I don’t like to use harsh chemicals in my smoker or on any cooking surface that I don’t feel I can truely rinse or burn off. The vinegar is natural and used in many of my smokes so it won’t leave an odd odor or taste.

Another tip for a quicker clean up.
I remove all the racks that I’m not using. Less to clean up in the end.
