Cleaning Stainless Steel

[CDN Smoker]

Spring has sprung for us Northern folks and it's time to dig out my baby.

I am ashamed  to say I have some built up gunk and respectfully asking for any ideas to get baby back to looking her best

What king of cleaning Drew?

1. baked on carbon?

2. grease build up?

These seem like 2 different animals - tho they both come from drips in our grills. There are some commercially available carbon strippers that can be had as liquids or sprays. ( Carbon-off..? Is the name of one if I remember correctly. ) But they do not work on any grease. So remove all grease first. Use Purple Power or - even hot water and  Simple green is pretty effective. Check with a commercial kitchen supply hose in your area.

But, Good old oven cleaner - *IF* you are up-wind...does a pretty good job on both. But it is nasty stuff last time I used it.

Basically its baked on drippings from my cooking, butts, ribs etc

For the gunk you can use a low abrasive scouring sponge and boiling hot water. Just make sure to use some heat resistant gloves. Go with the grain of the stainless.

Then use a good quality stainless steel cleaner.
