Great news guys! The guy at church battling cancer I gifted this smoker to, just found out today he is 100% cancer free! Amen!

Home Depot sells a $30.00 bucket vacuum that I use to cleanup the ashes very quickly. Great video

OMG I just picked up a prep table like yours from Costco. I haven't even unboxed my Pitboss 1150 yet but this video will serve me well later! Thanks for that.

I put aluminum foil on the bottom of my smoker and 1/2 way up the side front and back of my PB pro 850. I also wrap my deflector with aluminum foil. It makes the clean up and mess so much better. If I use the sear/flame option i still wrap it but I just take a butter knife to cut slits in the foil before starting.

Pro tip: have Andrew come over and clean my pit...great vid!

I have an 850 and just did my first deep cleaning. I scraped grates and deflector same way and used the ash inside to soak up excess grease. Then I scraped whole inside to grease bucket. Shop vacuumed contents out Wiped inside out with paper towels. I then cleaned as best I could the grates and deflector then pressure washed them. Allowed them to dry in sun then return to grill. After that i wiped exterior with damp towel and finished up with paper towels. Turned out great but wish i had seasoned the deflector with veggie oil before I cooked the first time.

Nice! I always take out the deflector and scrap the junk onto the ground or driveway.

I use apple cider vinegar to degrease the inside of my smoker. It does a good job, and I don't have to do a burn off when I'm done.

I do the same with a putty knife to clear the heat deflector but I use my shop vac to clean up all the dust and pieces as I am scraping. Just have to make sure it is as dry as possible to not plug anything up.

That's really nice of you good heart.

Nice work Sargent. 💯💯👍👍

Awesome video thanks so much 🙏

Nice job brother!

Thank you for this!!!

Appreciate the video and tips, thanks!

The leaf blower bit left me scratching my head but the hose to the electronic grill really threw me 😂 looks great though

I knew I liked your channel for a reason pitboss Nation and greenworks nation that's what I'm talking about I use both as well they never get enough love

Your the man God bless you

Nice video and really generous of you to donate your smoker. I'm just concerned that smoked foods are and rust on the deflector plate may not be great for someone battling cancer. I've never thought about using car cleaner on my smoker.

Could you review the one and Pit Boss Pellet Charcoal combo grill?

Just a bit of advice: Spray-Nine is a great cleaner and degreaser, but don't use it on a grill. It will absolutely ruin the finish! I've done it, unfortunately. That Pit Boss cleaner does a great job. I'll have to get some

How about a vid for the upright pellet smoker . Mine is older and firepot doesn't come out . Thanks !

very nice!!!!!!!!

😎🤘 I need to clean mine so bad lol

I bought a small shop vac from harbor freight for the inside

I just got the Pit Boss 1150 Version 3 pellet smoker. It has all the modifications that I have seen that people have been asking over the years. I have noticed some people have put aluminum foil over the dome surface to make cleanup easier. I don't know if that is a good idea. Pit Boss people told me not to do that. How about cleaning. After 6-12 months of use cleaning the grill out every 2 cooking times is it good to use a degreaser to get rid of the build up grease inside? I also have been told to use a plastic scraper to clean the inside walls of the unit. Any other suggestions would be helpful.

I enjoyed this video. And it serves as a reminder to maybe clean it more often than you. 🤣

Watching this makes me glad I bought a Reqteq smoker. Way easier to clean.

Just keep a coat of food grade mineral oil on it with a cover roll it to the shade. It will last a bit longer, you could of had a fire under that baffle. Good to hear about the guy. Good News😇

That Firefighter Rescue Brush is so tits btw! Clean’s the grill grates so fast!

How did you like the Pit Boss competition edition ? I am looking at purchasing this unit from a Traeger that I own currently.

Is the oil a conditioner for the metal? I just cleaned mine, but didn't put anything on the sear grate.

That putty knife is a damn game changer. Annoyed I didnt think of that earlier.

I'm supposed to clean it? If this is half as good as your fixing the weber sweep dampers, it will be a winner. Cheers!

I have a cover on the inside over my auger going into the burner and I was told not to wash w water it will make the pellets swell and clog the auger. Any advice

Best part of the video, You bought the Pro Series.

This was a great video I didn’t realize you could get the pellet hopper and electronic screen wet… I move my smoker to the gazebo if it rains Is there any warning to getting it wet or is the system water protected… I would assume it is since I watched you spray it

I bought a Pit Boss Pro V2 recently, and I KNOW the manual doesn't suggest this . . . but can you just put the racks in the dishwasher? It's a pain to hand clean them sometimes. How do you clean them in your Brunswick? I'm assuming the racks are mostly the same. Love your videos and recipes man. Thanks!

Video comparing the pro series to the comp would be awesome. Currently torn between the two

I literally had to rewind like 4 times to make sure I heard ur correctly, “table” the way u said it, Arabic accent 😂 we call it (taybal) instead of table. 2:22

New to your channel and learning a lot. I have noticed that you have used the 1100 or 1150 and the 1600 series in both the Elite, Pro or competition models. I was just wondering if you would go with the double wall feature of the Pro 1600 or Pro Elite 1600 or do you think the single wall construction of the Pro 1100 smokes just as well and the double walls don’t really add much to the end result of the cook other than a nice 70 Ibs of extra weight. Im stuck trying to decide on getting the 1600 Pro that has the double walls and retails for about $300 more than the Pro 1100. Thanks for your guidance.

If you wet the digital components won’t it ruin it

Thanks for the tutorial! I’ve been watching a handful of your videos as someone new to pellet smokers (I’m about 6 cooks deep as I type this) and I was wondering, do you recommend degreasing and wet cleaning the inside of the smoker ever? I’m noticing a buildup in mine and I’m being a bit overly cautious about how I take care of it. Also, I’m noticing a lot of oxidization on my sear plate and pan. I’ve done a baking soda and vinegar treatment but it didn’t seem to remove much. Any advice there or am I worried about nothing? Ive messed up some propane grills in the past so when I upgraded to my Pit Boss pellet I promised I was gonna take extra care of it.

How you avoid this very simple! While you're cooking glass of water in between cooks a switching out stuff on the grill current all the way up to 500 pour water over the sear plate completely It will steam everything off and clean it and rinse it off at the same time and it'll keep that sear plate nice and clean! At the same time wet sponge keep the grill clean while you're cooking wipe down in between changes of meat

When it comes to the ash I just use my shop vac and vacuum it all out even the burn pot but I'm using an actual 20 gallon rigid shop vac lol

Clean the crate outside of the grill and then place them in clean.

Man if your snoker was dirty there… if you saw mine, youd tell me to just throw it away hahaha

personally i think it would be best if people clean the grills or smokers when it is just barely warm to the touch so it wouldn't get that bad, but of that is me though

I gotta vertical pro series smoker, to clean inside use soap and water? That degreaser by pit boss has chemicals correct? Not safe to use on inside?

Wouldn’t it be better to scrape everything down first (top to bottom inside) and then Shop Vac it out before using soap and water? Seams like it was be less messy because you’d remove all of the stuff you scraped off and the ashes on the bottom while they’re dry.

Is that olive oil?

Call me obsessed but I always clean my grill by running it through the dishwasher, letting it dry completely and then spraying it with a little food release (like Pam), so food won't stick to it on the next grilling. Question: If you take out the burn pot can you then wash the bottom of the barrel and let the water drain out through the burn pot hole?

What about us stainless steel guys? The elite series.

How do those finishing chemical agents react when the grill heats up?

Lol. That looks like my monthly cleaning. The deep cleaning required power tools.

what oil did u use to recoat the plates?

How often do you do a deep clean

Dud it's my opinion Clean it more often like l do every 4 cooks it's seriously more easy just saying

🇺🇸

Is it ok to get the electronics wet? ????

You forgot the internal temperature probe.

Why don’t you wash and oil your grates while they are out of the smoker.

All the cleaning you did on the inside but you never cleaned the thermometer on the inside

Dude just sprayed into the hopper thought it was an Off-Set lol! P.S. dont buy pitboss cleaning products theyre regualar cleaning materials just slapped with the Pit-boss label lol.

You need a pressure washer.

Tinfoil wrap the diffuser plate.

People who use pellet smokers probably drink bud light as well. This is smoking for the lazy. Seriously get a real smoker and use real wood not this crap. There actually is a difference. I don't need thermometer to tell me when meat is done cooking. Yes you can tell the cook by touching the meat. 😊

Why would you get any of that up by hand when you could just vacuum

Grills you’re never going to be gym with if you clean it after every cook it will stay in you I clean every one of my Grills my pellet grills my offset my tomato, my gateway drum after every cook that’s nasty and she never wash the inside of them

Wow what a humanitarian… thanks for giving a used grill to a cancer patient when you could have given him a new grill…. What a guy you are.. to make room you donate a…. Used grill…. Nice work bud…
