MAINTENANCE
Cleanup y our pit before a cook instead of after it. This ensures
the pit and ashes are dead cold and grease is solidified, both of
which make cleanup safer and easier. The added bonus is that
when you are done cooking, you can focus on eating.
1. Lift-off the Firebox, slide out the coal grate, and dump the
ash. You can hose it out if you like.
2. Remove the wire shelves and racks. These fit in most
dishwashers, but nothing cleans wire shelves faster than one
of these stainless steel sponges.
3. Use a plastic paint scraper or spatula to remove the bulk of
the solidified grease from the bottom of the pit.
PRO-TIP: IF YOU'RE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT
COOKBOX CLEANLINESS, NOTHING EATS GREASE
AND SOOT LIKE OVEN CLEANER. GET THE LYE
(NaOH) OR POTASH (KOH) KIND, NOT THE
NAMBY-PAMBY 'FUME-FREE' STUFF. WEAR
GOGGLES AND GLOVES OR IT'LL EAT YOU, TOO.
4. Lug the pit out to your lawn and use a hose on the jet
setting to blast the Cookbox interior and dislodge any
remaining grease. Keep blasting until water is flowing over
the open door, then swiftly tilt the pit forward to heave out
the greasy water. Repeat 1 or 2 times, and you'll have a
fairly clean pit and a very happy dog.
