CARE AND MAINTENANCE
ASH CLEANOUT
It is imperative that you clean out the ashes from your TEXAS SMOKER after both
grill and ashes have completely cooled – and before moisture can combine with the
ash. Ash and moisture can create lye, which is very acidic, and speeds up rusting.
CLEANING OF COOKING GRATES
It is much easier to keep the porcelain-coated cooking grates clean if they are
brushed just after cooking, while the coals are still hot – instead of allowing excess
residue to harden after it cools. Take care to avoid burns by wearing insulated mitts.
After brushing, allow the grates (as well as the grill itself) to cool. For more thorough
cleaning, use a wet, soapy, fine steel wool pad with only slight pressure. Rinse
thoroughly and dry.
FINISH TOUCH-UP
Surface rust can be removed with a wire brush. Rust spots on the surface can be
buffed, cleaned, and then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to
minimise rusting. High temperature paint is available from your store of purchase to
restore the painted exterior surfaces. Follow the directions on the can.
