CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. CREOSOTE AND GREASE: Formation and need for removal.
• When wood pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and other organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form creo-
sote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool flue exhaust of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote accumulates on the
flue lining. When ignited, creosote makes an extremely hot fire. Airborne grease particles will travel through the cooking chamber and
some of this airborne grease will accumulate on the flue lining, similar to the creosote, which could be contributory to a fire.
• The flue exhaust should be inspected at least twice a year to determine when a creosote and/or grease buildup has occurred.
• Also, grease drippings from the food will fall onto the Grease Drain Pan and be channeled into the Grease Drain and then out of the
Grill through the Grease Drain Tube, to be collected in the Grease Bucket. Grease will accumulate in all of these locations.
• The Grease Drain, the Grease Drain Tube and the Grease Bucket should be inspected at least twice a year for signs of grease
buildup.
• When creosote or grease has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of fire.
2. Cleaning Grease from your Grill:
•
CAUTION!
Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord.
•
CAUTION!
Accumulated grease is easier to clean off when the Grill is still warm –not hot. Be Careful not to burn yourself. Gloves are
recommended
• Periodically, clean the grease out of the V-shaped Grease Drain and Grease Drain Tube. If too much grease is allowed to build up in
the V-shaped Grease Drain, or is allowed to plug the Grease Drain Tube, a grease fire could result. We recommend cleaning these
locations regularly.
• Remove the Porcelain Grill and the Grease Drain Pan. This will provide access to the V-shaped Grease Drain and Grease Drain Tube
opening inside the Grill. Scrape the grease accumulation from the inside the V-shaped Grease Drain and Grease Drain Tube, using a
stiff, non-metallic tool. Much of the loosened grease can be pushed down through the Grease Drain Tube and will fall into the Grease
Bucket. Wipe up remaining grease residue with paper towels or disposable rags. Paper towels or disposable rags can also be used to
wipe some of the grease off of the interior surfaces of the Grill.
• Line your Grease Bucket with aluminum foil for easy clean-up. Empty it occasionally, depending on amount of use. Change the alumi-
num foil on the Grease Drain Pan frequently (sometimes, after each use, depending upon what was cooked). Clean foil on the Grease
Drain Pan will make your food taste better and reduce the risk of a grease fire.
3. Cleaning outside surfaces:
• CAUTION! Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord.
• Use a disposable rag or cloth, dampened with warm soapy water to wipe the grease from the outside of the Grill. DO NOT use oven
cleaner, abrasive cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside Grill surfaces.
4. Outside Storage:
• CAUTION! If the Grill is stored outside during the rainy season, care should be taken to ensure that water does not get into the
Pellet Hopper. Wood pellets, when wet, expand greatly and will jam your Auger. A Pitmaster Q3 Grill Cover to protect the Grill is highly
recommended! Covers are available on our Web Site – www.pitmasterQ3.com.
5. Cleaning the Porcelain Grill:
• CAUTION! The cleaning of the Porcelain Grill works best while they are still warm. Be careful not to burn yourself. We recommend
keeping a long-handled cleaning brush near the Grill. After removing your food, give the Porcelain Grill a quick brushing.
6. Cleaning the ash from inside and around the Firepot:
• CAUTION! Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord.
• WARNING! Make sure that the Grill is COLD before cleaning the ash.
• WARNING! Disposal of ashes should be done only per the following instructions.
• Excess ash in the Firepot may cause your fire to go out, especially in the “SMOKE” setting. The Firepot should be inspected occasion-
ally, and cleaned to remove the ash buildup. Again, cleaning the ash from in and around the Firepot should be done only when the
Grill is COLD
• Remove the Porcelain Grill, Grease Drain Pan and Heat Baffle to provide access to the Firepot and the interior of the Grill. Much of
the ash outside of the Firepot can be swept to the open area at the right of the Firepot using a small whisk broom. It can be removed
from the Grill with a small metal fireplace shovel or other similar tool. Dispose of the ashes per the following instructions.
