Okay, I can't find my owners manual, and my Smokette is in dire need of a clean-up. How do I do it? Oven cleaner, fire hose, what?

If the outside is stainless steel, window cleaner does real good. Just scrape the junk off the interior walls with a credit card or plastic puddy knife. Don't use a cleaner on the interior cause the black coating is the seasoning everyone talks about. Knock the crud off the grates, soak them overnight or dishwasher, and they'll turn out clean.

You really don't have to clean it much, it's a smoker. I do what Pags does, keep the big chunks cleaned up. Everything else gets seasoned well.
