Extinguishing The Smoker; Care & Maintenance - Pit Boss CHAMPION PBV24CB Handbuch

EXTINGUISHING THE SMOKER

1. When finished cooking and extinguishing the smoker, simply stop adding fuel. Close the Chimney and Air Intake Pipe dampers
to allow the fire to die naturally by lack of oxygen.
IMPORTANT: Do not use water to extinguish the charcoal as this could damage the Charcoal Basket.
Any Pit Boss® unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. Follow these cleaning and maintenance
tips to service your smoker:
1. CHARCOAL COMPONENTS
• Clean out the Charcoal Basket and Charcoal Tray when a build-up of ash is found. Ensure that there are no signs of
blockage of the holes of the Charcoal Basket.
• Clean out the Charcoal Refill Door and entry way to ensure it can open and close smoothly.
2. INSIDE SURFACES
• Using a grill cleaning brush, remove any food or build-up from the cooking grids. Best practice is to do this while they
are still warm from a previous cook. Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris on the cooking components of
the smoker. Clean the inside of your Barrel Body on a consistent basis. In the event you experience a grease fire, keep
the Lid of the Barrel Body closed to choke out the fire. If the fire does not go out quickly, carefully remove the food,
and close all dampers until the fire is completely out. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available.
• Thoroughly clean the inner Barrel Body to remove any splatter or build-up of grease. Carefully remove all cooking
components and turn the smoker on its side. Use a shop-vac to remove all ash and residue, then wash the inside
walls and bottom using hot soapy water. Leave the smoker to dry completely before replacing cooking components.
3. OUTSIDE SURFACES
• Wipe down your smoker after each use. Use warm soapy water to cut the grease. Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive
cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside surfaces as it may damage the paint finish. All painted surfaces are
not covered under warranty, but rather are part of general maintenance and upkeep. For paint scratches, wearing, or
flaking of the finish, all painted surfaces can be touched up using high heat BBQ paint.
• Use a cover to give your smoker complete protection! A cover is your best protection against weather and outside
pollutants. When it is not in use or for long-term storage, keep the unit under a cover in a garage or shed.
