Proper Care & Maintenance
Cure your smoker/grill periodically throughout the year to protect against excessive rust.
To protect your smoker/grill from excessive rust, the unit must be properly cured and covered at all times
when not in use.
Wash cooking grates and charcoal grate with hot, soapy water, rinse well and dry. Lightly coat grates with
vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.
Clean inside and outside of smoker/grill by wiping off with a damp cloth. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil or
vegetable oil spray to the interior surface to prevent rusting. Do not coat charcoal tray.
If rust appears on the exterior surface of your smoker/grill, clean and buff the affected area with steel wool or
fine grit emery cloth. Touch-up with a good quality high-temperature resistant paint.
Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned, and then
lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to minimize rusting.
