black run-off on back of model 008

Former Member

Is it normal to find some black run-off around one of the back legs. I just finished a brisket and when cleaning up, I noticed black liquid under the back left left leg. This didn't appear to be fat drippings, more like smoke and water. I set my unit on a table with a alumium fry pan to catch drippings. Just wondering if I have a bad weld on unit or if it is normal? A little bit more to have to clean up after.

I'd check to see if you can tell where it's coming from. IF the unit isn't exactly level, it might be some runoff from the bottom hole not going straight down into the drip pan.

I looked at the bottom of the unit, and it appears that the liquid didn't run from the drain hole (no trail). I haven't cooked anything else yet that would have a large amount of moisture to look for, just some jerky and chicken parts. No problem sited with these. I guess I should try something before the 30-days are up though. Thanks

No, since it's not that, call CS Customer Service. Since this isn't a forum monitored by them, call them and ask.
