Maintenance and Cleaning

A few simple steps will ensure that your REC TEC BULL will give you many years of service with
minimal effort.
• Clean your fire pot every 3-5 cooks to ensure proper airflow.
• Use a grill brush to clean your cooking grate after every cook to provide years of trouble free use
from them. NOTE: Make sure that no bristles have shed and remain on cooking grate.
• Cover your drip tray with aluminum foil and change it frequently. This is the simplest way to main-
tain your drip pan. If you have completed a low and slow cook that has caused the accumu-
lation of grease on your foil, you must change the foil before cooking at high tempera-
tures. Failure to do so will most certainly cause a grease fire in your grill.
• Clean the ash from the interior of your grill, fire pot, and hopper every 5-6 bags of pellets. It helps
to leave a thin layer of ash on the bottom of the barrel for insulation. (A shop vac is the ideal tool
for this job.) (WARNING–always wait at least 12 hours after cooking to remove ash from
your grill.)
• Use a mild soap and water to clean the exterior of your grill. AVOID USING CAUSTIC
CLEANERS.
• If left in exposed area, keep your grill covered and unplugged when not in use.
• Never let your pellets get wet; they will swell and jam your auger.
• If grill will not be in use for 6 weeks or more, cleaning out pellets from your hopper is recom-
mended.
• For a superior cleaning and shine, clean your grill's outside surfaces (when completely cooled) and
then use automotive wax, per the directions.
