I cleaned up my Pit Boss for the first time and I used SOS on my broiler and it did a very good job.

I spray mine with easy off and out it in a trash bag for a few hours to overnight. Works great every time

I’m brand new to the smoking world and just recently got my own pit boss and I will say your video is truly easy to follow and the visual breakdown of everything is just awesome!! Thank you so much it’s deeply appreciated

Man o man, what a difference. Looks almost like a new grill, and you know, it always feels better, to me at least, cooking after you deep clean a grill. You did a great job on the burner shield with the Easy off. Thanks again, for another fun and informative video. Marc T.

I have used the Costco black bins to clean my cooking grates and flamebroiler. I usually just use dawn with hot water but every once in a while use the oven cleaner for bbq spray the grates and flamebriolet let it set 20 minutes then add the hot water and dawn soap. Using a SOS pad and regular kitchen scrub pad works great. I wash and rinse everything thoroughly. No taste or chemical issues. For easy clean up I use foil to wrap the bottom part of my barrel and I wrap the flame broiler also just cut out area if I want to sear. I also use tray that I put my meat in and metal racks that fit in them so my smoker stay clean all the time. Only clean up is ash and when I sear

Thank you I will watch this one again very helpful

Lye is often used to deep clean cast iron. It's natural (though pretty harsh) and should theoretically do a great job on the flame broiler. If you're doing another deep clean video in the future, I'd love to see lye and washing soda (sodium carbonate) put to the test!

I foil wrap my flame broiler and replace every couple of cooks.

Pit Boss 1150 temp Run-A-Way I purchased my Pit Boss last November when Lowe’s had their $500 off sale. I used it twice without any problem. The cooking temp was rock solid. Yesterday, Feb 14th I put some chicken leg quarters and hamburger meat on the Pit Boss. I had the temp set at 270 deg F. I have been watching the You Tube videos on cooking chicken leg quarters at 270 deg F. for about 3-4 hours. I was outside watching things when in about 2 hours my temperature went from 270 deg to 310 deg F. I hadn’t changed anything. I called Pit Boss and talked to Mr. Jo. He hadn’t had a clue. He ask what kind of pellets I was using and I told him Oak Kingsford pellets. He said he never heard the name Kingsford pellets or charcoal bricks. The pellets were new and dry so I don’t know what was going on. I always clean out all the pellets when I cook. This includes all the pellets in the auger tube. Anyone have this problem?

Great deep clean, for the grill grates I have scrubbed them down and then put them in the dish washer, they come out looking like new , mind you any burnt bits are left at the bottom of the dishwasher, no biggie. As for the flame broiler I cover it in tin foil and when its time to clean it peels off and not so dirty, I don't cover the sear plate. Anyway thanks for the other tips on cleaning. Cheers.

if you want to do a real deep clean, empty the hoper and auger of any pellets. Remove the grates, fire pot, heat shield, etc and vacuum out the pellet dust. Unplug the grill and use a steam cleaner on the grates, barrel, etc. Spray the interior and interior parts down with a non-toxic degreaser. Let it sit for 10 min or so. Then use a 1700 psi or so pressure washer to clean it out. Do the outside the same if needed. Let it sit in the sun for a few hours (I'm in the southern US so this isn't an issue), colder climates, YMMV. Spray the interior down lightly with Weber grill spray after it is dry. Do the initial start up procedure as recommended in your Pit Boss manual. Smoke a Boston butt to add back some of that awesome fatty seasoning. I do this about once a year, just do it on the lawn, not the patio or deck (lesson learned the first time I used this method... Also, make sure the smoker isn't level, able it to where the grease bucket is a few degrees lower than the pellet hopper. Anyway, just my experiences over a few years. Most important, keep on cooking and smoking.

is there another vid that shows the easy steps?

Thanks

Should I spray high temp cooking oil on on my surfaces BEDFORE the initial burn in?

They fixed the new Lexington 500 Onyx Edition and made the end piece curved.

You are awesome pl more videos

what pit boss do you use? can you do a video of different types and see which one is better :)

What about the auger?

Would you consider seasoning the outside of the grill chamber with oil to prevent rust?

What kind of product did you use for the rust, the spray?

Arent the grates made out of cast iron? I thought cast iron and water dont mix

The only thing that concerns me is regarding the Flame Broiler plates. The owner manual says do not wash clean. Only wanna verify because I’m new to smoking and my wife would kill me if I ruin it! 😂

Can you pressure wash the flam broiler to clean?

Would you use the wooden grill scraper to get the carbon build up off? It looks like bubbling paint but it's not (i had to google it)

I just use aluminum foil on the heat shield for easy cleaning.

Why not use metal scrapers and wire brushes?

Was this a challenge to see how many times you could say Pit boss in one video? Lol

How to "naturally" clean your grill without chemicals: Use white vinegar, which is a name for a mixture of water and a non-naturally occurring chemical acetic acid. How to clean your grill with (non-natural) chemicals: Use ammonia, which is a naturally occurring chemical. 😆 You gotta admit it's kinda funny how the word "natural" has been co-opted to mean the exact opposite of natural! Now obviously I am not suggesting that vinegar isn't actually less harsh and less toxic, and the ammonia you used definitely was not naturally occurring. But no matter how you look at it you can't go out into nature and harvest vinegar but you could go out into nature and harvest ammonia.
