What y'all use to clean the Masterbuilt electric kind?
All I clean are my racks....water pan.....and drip pan. Dishwasher works good. If you clean the inside of smoker the food wont taste right without the inside being what they call seasoned from the smoke.
I have so far just cleaned Grates, water pan and drip pan in bottom of unit. Just got through washing the grate and use a pot scrubber on them, sponge and dawn in hot water to clean them up. Have not attempted to clean inside of box but when I do I will start with a pan of water and dawn using a sponge that has the scrubber on one side. Shame on me but I have not done any research on how to clean inside.

We clean the racks, drip pan & water pan.(Usually cover the pans with foil before cooking)Haven't worried about anything else.

I don't have one of those electric smokers, so really don't know. Smoke the old fashion way, which I do a lot, believe me. I put the wire brush to it on occasion and that's all.
I smoke the ole fashion way, and i know yall will look at me crosseyed, but i dont wash my drip/water pan , i cook it dry, then put it in the freezer. All them drippings are dried out, when you add water next time, you already have seasoned water to start the flavor rite off the bat.
Got my cover for it today and I'm going to give it a little cleaning. Thanks as usual for the tips!
hot water and apple cider vineager,wipe mine out every 3 or 4 cookings
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.Quote:

Leave the door open for a few days between cooking.
