I'm planning on smoking 2 turkey breasts for Thanksgiving. I haven't used my smoker in a while, and took off work early today to check it out. I took the cover off of it, and
...I have "growth" inside!
I usually clean my smoker out after every use, but I remember the last time I used it, I smoked some ribs and it came a tsunami. This was Labor Day weekend. I took my ribs out, covered my MES...and forgot to clean it.
I have pulled the water pan, drip pan, and the box where the chips go, and will clean them up. I have it cranked to 275, as high as it will go, to try to burn the stuff off inside the box itself.
Should I spray it with some oven cleaner? 50/50 mixture of bleach and water? Or do you think it will burn off?
The last thing I want to do is get my family sick, and they are all looking forward to the smoked turkey.
HELP!!! What should I do, and surely I'm not the only moron that has done this. Am I?
