Thread: Cleaning smoker?

Something I picked up from my mother and I still do. take the removeable parts grates, trays etc, place them in a big plastic bag, add 2 cups household ammonia, seal bag and set in sunny spot for a day. after they set, pull out and rinse with garden hose, let drip dry. Seal the bag and toss in garbage can.

It will take off some really old bake on. I found a tow boat anchor buoy while turkey hunting on Brandywine Island 20 something years ago. I went back and got it that summer and converted it to a BBQ pit. I clean the stainless grates about every 5 years and that's the way I do it.
