Maintenance Tips

• Clean the Cooking Chamber: After each use, allow the smoker to cool down and clean the cooking chamber. Remove any food debris, grease, and drippings using a scraper or a soft brush.
• Empty the Grease Tray: Regularly empty the grease tray to prevent grease buildup, which could lead to flare-ups or unpleasant odors. Clean it with warm, soapy water after each use.
• Clean the Pellet Hopper: Periodically clean the pellet hopper to prevent pellet dust and debris from clogging the auger system. This helps ensure smooth pellet feeding.
• Check the Auger and Motor: Inspect the auger and its motor for any blockages, pellet jams, or wear. If the motor or auger seems to be malfunctioning, contact a professional for repair.
• Check the Temperature Probes: Test the temperature probes regularly for accuracy. Calibrate if necessary to ensure your food is cooked to the desired temperature.
• Inspect and Clean the Firepot: Clean the firepot to remove ash and residue. Use a vacuum or a soft brush to remove excess buildup. Ensure the firepot is clear to allow optimal pellet combustion.
• Clean the Exterior: Wipe down the exterior of the smoker with a damp cloth to remove grease and dirt. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Check the Door Seals: Inspect the door seals regularly to ensure they are intact and not cracked. Proper sealing is essential to maintain the smoker’s temperature and efficiency.
• Maintain Pellet Storage: Store your pellets in a dry location to prevent them from absorbing moisture. Damp pellets can clog the auger and reduce the smoker’s efficiency.
• Perform Seasonal Maintenance: Before storing the smoker for extended periods, perform a thorough cleaning and check all components, including the igniter, thermostat, and electrical connections, to ensure everything is in working order.
