swamp, here is what we do every week and no it's not for contests just every use shut down procedure. we take a shop vac and vacuum out the hopper and fire box. we also remove all foil and wash the grids and hanger. the interior is wiped down with a lemon juice and water mix and everything is dried out,refoiled and reinstalled. due to this i am thinking of taking my tax return and investing in reynolds aluminum. might seem excessive but man does my health inspector love it
