Any Pit Boss® unit will give you many years of flavorful service with
minimum cleaning. Follow these tips to service your grill:
Grill Interior
•
Clean your burn pot out after every few uses. This will ensure prop-
er ignition and avoid any hard build-up of debris or ash. (A)
•
Use a grill cleaning brush to remove any food or build-up from the
cooking grates. 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 grill. Use the flame broiler slide plate to scrape
off the main plate, and vise-versa (B). Remove the debris from
inside your barrel with a wet/dry vacuum. For an extra deep clean,
use Pit Boss® Cleaner & Degreaser for the grill interior and exterior.
IMPORTANT: Due to high heat, do not cover the flame broiler
components with aluminum foil.
Grill Exterior
•
Check your grease bucket often, and clean out as necessary. Keep
in mind the type of cooking you do. (C)
•
Wipe your grill down after each use (D). Use warm soapy water
to cut the grease. Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers, or
abrasive cleaning pads on the outside grill surfaces. All painted
surfaces are not covered under warranty, but are rather part of
general maintenance and upkeep. For paint scratches, wearing, or
flaking of the finish, all painted surfaces can be touched up using
a high heat BBQ paint.
•
A grill cover is your best protection against weather and outside
pollutants. When not in use or for longterm storage, keep the unit
under a cover in a garage or shed.
Probes
•
Wipe your meat probe after each use. A meat probe not in use
should be rolled up in a large, loose coil. Kinks or folds in the probe
wires may cause damage. Do not place in the dishwasher or sub-
merge in water. Water damage to the internal wires will cause a
meat probe to short-out, causing false readings. (E)
•
Check and clean off any grease or debris from the grill probe, found
inside the main grill body, on the left-side wall. If the control board
readout is far different from the grill thermometer reading, a dirty
grill probe is often the issue. (F)
•
If a probe is damaged, it should be replaced.
