“About once a month I clean the bottom of my smoker with paper towels
and a general purpose cleaner like 409. I re-season it for a few hours with a
few chunks of wood afterwards.” Stuart Powell, Cookshack CEO
Maintenance
• Periodically check electrical plug and wire for any type of wear or
damage.
• Twice annually put two drops of lightweight oil on the hinge pins to
prevent binding.
• Check casters for free movement.
Bottom of oven must be kept clean. Change foil in bottom of oven and
from top of wood box after each cooking and remove all excess grease
from interior of oven. Be sure that drain hole is open at all times. If
drain becomes plugged, oven bottom can fill with grease and a fire
hazard may occur.
