SECTION FIVE: MAINTAINING
YOUR NEW GRILL
1) CREOSOTE AND GREASE: Formation and need for removal.
When wood pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and other organic vapors that
combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the
relatively cool flue exhaust of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote accumulates on the
flue lining. When ignited, creosote makes an extremely hot fire. Airborne grease particles
will travel through the cooking chamber and some of this airborne grease will accumulate on
the flue lining, similar to the creosote, which could be contributory to a fire.
The flue exhaust should be inspected at least twice a year to determine when a creosote
and/or grease buildup has occurred.
Also, grease drippings from the food will fall onto the Grease Drain Pan and be channeled
into the Grease Drain and then out of the Grill through the Grease Drain Tube, to be
collected in the Grease Bucket. Grease will accumulate in all of these locations.
The Grease Drain, the Grease Drain Tube and the Grease Bucket should be inspected at
least twice a year for signs of grease buildup.
When creosote or grease has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of fire.
Cleaning the Flue (Smoke Stack):
DANGER! Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord.
CAUTION! Make sure that the Grill is cold before cleaning the Smoke Stack.
Remove (unscrew) the Chimney Cap Assembly from the top of the Smoke Stack Once the
Chimney Cap Assembly has been removed, it can be cleaned with warm soapy water or
with a biodegradable degreaser.
Scrape the creosote and grease accumulation from the inside of the vertical and horizontal
sections of the Smoke Stack, using a stiff, non-metallic tool. A wooden paint stir stick, for
example, would work for this task. Once the creosote and grease residue has been
loosened from the Smoke Stack lining, much of it can be removed with paper towels or
disposable rags. Do not spray water or other liquid cleaners onto the inside of your Grill.
Once the Smoke Stack has been cleaned, replace the Chimney Cap Assembly.
Cleaning Grease from your Grill:
DANGER! Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord.
CAUTION! Accumulated grease is easier to clean off when the Grill is still warm –not hot.
Be careful not to burn yourself. Gloves are recommended.
Periodically, clean the grease out of the V-shaped Grease Drain and Grease Drain Tube. If
too much grease is allowed to build up in the V-shaped Grease Drain, or is allowed to plug
the Grease Drain Tube, a grease fire could result. We recommend cleaning these locations
regularly.
