Maintenance And Cleaning - Rec Tec Grills RT-2500 Owner's Manual

A few simple steps will ensure that your REC TEC BFG
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. 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 maintain your drip pan.
If you have completed a low and slow cook that has
caused the accumulation of grease on your foil, you must
change the foil before cooking at high temperatures!
• Clean the ash from the interior of your grill, fire pot, and hopper
every 5-6 bags of pellets – a shop vac is an ideal tool for this
job. It also helps to leave a thin layer of ash on the bottom of the
barrel for insulation.
• Use a mild soap and water to clean
the exterior of your grill.
• 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 recommended.
• For a superior cleaning and shine, clean the outside surfaces of
your grill (when completely cooled) and then use automotive
wax, per the directions.
