I cleaned up my Pit Boss for the first time and I used SOS on my broiler and it did a very good job.

[rodneyrodgers]

got the Grill Daddy the other day. I finally did the semi deep clean and I waited way too long...I am giving the grill to my son in law and daughter and decided to clean it good for them. This was just after about a year of constant use.

Man o man, what a difference. Looks almost like a new grill, and you know, it always feels better, to me at least, cooking after you deep clean a grill. You did a great job on the burner shield with the Easy off. Thanks again, for another fun and informative video. Marc T.

I’m brand new to the smoking world and just recently got my own pit boss and I will say your video is truly easy to follow and the visual breakdown of everything is just awesome!! Thank you so much it’s deeply appreciated

[charlesmoore]

Thank you I will watch this one again very helpful

Lye is often used to deep clean cast iron. It's natural (though pretty harsh) and should theoretically do a great job on the flame broiler. If you're doing another deep clean video in the future, I'd love to see lye and washing soda (sodium carbonate) put to the test!

Good Video but 3 helpful tips for you :

1) Scrape most of your heat shield IN the smoker, then vacuum with the rest of the ash.
2) Line the grease trough and spout at the end of the smoker with foil for easy clean-up
3) Wash the grates and shield in a bucket, keeping the mess contained before spraying off.

I have used the Costco black bins to clean my cooking grates and flamebroiler. I usually just use dawn with hot water but every once in a while use the oven cleaner for bbq spray the grates and flamebriolet let it set 20 minutes then add the hot water and dawn soap. Using a SOS pad and regular kitchen scrub pad works great. I wash and rinse everything thoroughly. No taste or chemical issues.
For easy clean up I use foil to wrap the bottom part of my barrel and I wrap the flame broiler also just cut out area if I want to sear. I also use tray that I put my meat in and metal racks that fit in them so my smoker stay clean all the time. Only clean up is ash and when I sear

I spray mine with easy off and out it in a trash bag for a few hours to overnight. Works great every time

I foil wrap my flame broiler and replace every couple of cooks.

Pit Boss 1150 temp Run-A-Way

I purchased my Pit Boss last November when Lowe’s had their $500 off sale.
I used it twice without any problem. The cooking temp was rock solid.

Yesterday, Feb 14th I put some chicken leg quarters and hamburger meat on the
Pit Boss. I had the temp set at 270 deg F. I have been watching the You Tube videos on
cooking chicken leg quarters at 270 deg F. for about 3-4 hours.

I was outside watching things when in about 2 hours my temperature went from 270 deg
to 310 deg F. I hadn’t changed anything. I called Pit Boss and talked to Mr. Jo. He hadn’t
had a clue. He ask what kind of pellets I was using and I told him Oak Kingsford pellets.
He said he never heard the name Kingsford pellets or charcoal bricks.

The pellets were new and dry so I don’t know what was going on. I always clean out all
the pellets when I cook. This includes all the pellets in the auger tube.

Anyone have this problem?

Great deep clean, for the grill grates I have scrubbed them down and then put them in the dish washer, they come out looking like new, mind you any burnt bits are left at the bottom of the dishwasher, no biggie. As for the flame broiler I cover it in tin foil and when its time to clean it peels off and not so dirty, I don't cover the sear plate. Anyway thanks for the other tips on cleaning. Cheers.

if you want to do a real deep clean, empty the hoper and auger of any pellets. Remove the grates, fire pot, heat shield, etc and vacuum out the pellet dust. Unplug the grill and use a steam cleaner on the grates, barrel, etc. Spray the interior and interior parts down with a non-toxic degreaser. Let it sit for 10 min or so. Then use a 1700 psi or so pressure washer to clean it out. Do the outside the same if needed. Let it sit in the sun for a few hours (I'm in the southern US so this isn't an issue), colder climates, YMMV. Spray the interior down lightly with Weber grill spray after it is dry. Do the initial start up procedure as recommended in your Pit Boss manual. Smoke a Boston butt to add back some of that awesome fatty seasoning.

I do this about once a year, just do it on the lawn, not the patio or deck (lesson learned the first time I used this method...

Also, make sure the smoker isn't level, able it to where the grease bucket is a few degrees lower than the pellet hopper.

Anyway, just my experiences over a few years. Most important, keep on cooking and smoking.

Should I spray high temp cooking oil on on my surfaces BEDFORE the initial burn in?

[jamesbrown]

is there another vid that shows the easy steps?

[btdwonch]

What kind of product did you use for the rust, the spray?

[hangdogdaddy]

They fixed the new Lexington 500 Onyx Edition and made the end piece curved.

[luismaca]

what pit boss do you use? can you do a video of different types and see which one is better :)

[dacvidz]

Would you consider seasoning the outside of the grill chamber with oil to prevent rust?
