I’ve been washing the flame broiler after scraping. It’s a-lot of work. I won’t be washing it anymore…. I didn’t know about the thermometer, thank you 🤗
You are welcome! Sometimes we use chemicals when we do not have to in the sake of convenience. Especially with cooking surfaces. Things like onions and lemons do the trick and does not pose any harm or harmful chemicals.
I am going to get myself a dedicated vacuüm cleaner for this because my house smelled like a grill after i used the same one in the house again. 🤣 But great video , thanks for sharing.
I have not. The instances that I seen them "explode" were improper uses of the grill. Either having the hood down during the startup "ignition" process or a flame out and not properly restarting the grill. The hood should always be left up while going through start up. And if you should have a flameout shut the grill down, clean it out and properly restart it. The "explosion" is cause by the rapid ignition of the pellets.
It's really not hard at all. I have been thinking on making a video on the startup process. If you follow thr process and overcome the initial fear I think you will enjoy it. But you could also get an offset smoker. I have been eyeing one myself to add to the collection.
Is there a way to get under the igniter and section under the auger? I have spilt some grease at the bottom of the barrel and also wanted to degrease the whole barrel as well.
you would have to take apart the auger assembly. here is a link that shows what it would look like to see the screw placements. pellet-stove-parts-4less.com/products/pit-boss-auger-box-housing-for-the-lexington?variant=32714677715049&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2v-gBhC1ARIsAOQdKY1eIxqD1GZGwE6OfcvNfltdwh5Unv7PSgpIxGMdc2uknBp06-rn308aAk6ZEALw_wcB
@@CookingwithManualFocus Thanks, I will give that as last resort….just looked underneath it. I don’t want to mess with too many screws yet…I stripped some when putting it together and taking the pellet grate out. I will try heat it up and tipping it to collect great in one spot first. Thanks for the reply.
The thermometer has no input on the temperature controll. Pellet smokers use a PID sysytem (how many seconds the auger is turned on and off to deliver pellets.) They are not the most accurate thermometers and placed in a bad position. Get a good quality one, like thermoworks, and place it on the grate where you meat is going to sit. You will see a huge difference!

I'm gonna follow and promote this page? Why cause you CLEANED YOUR GRILL! WITHOUT CHEMS ! I bet you season your food properly too! I'm on board!
Thanks so much!
Newish proud owner of a pitboss smoker. After you cleaned out the pellets, did you prime the auger?
Congrats on the smoker! I did prime after the cleanout.
How much time do you think is needed before you would be able to throw the grill cover on it after a cook?
30-45 Mins Should be enough time after a cooking session.
Great video. I have seen where some explode. Have you ever been worried about a fire or explosion?
I have not. The instances that I seen them "explode" were improper uses of the grill. Either having the hood down during the startup "ignition" process or a flame out and not properly restarting the grill. The hood should always be left up while going through start up. And if you should have a flameout shut the grill down, clean it out and properly restart it. The "explosion" is cause by the rapid ignition of the pellets.
Clean and maintain your grill regularly and you will have great success!
@@CookingwithManualFocus thanks for the info. I have wanted one for a while but feared explosion. Seems complicated to primer and start.
