"Keep your smoker clean. I take mine to the car wash before every contest. I can smoke a chicken on a clean smoker and on a dirty smoker and there's a big difference in taste. Also the color of the meat will be different. A clean smoker gives a cleaner taste. Night and day."
This is a quote from Karen Putman. One of the best cookers out there. I've also talked to a two time KCBS champion who uses WSMs about this, and he says the same thing. He always makes his bullits shine like new before a cook. I mention this because I see that some folks advise that you should leave the crud on for temp control. I haven't done a comparison myself but it might be fun to try. Has anyone noticed a change in flavor as the crud builds up? Just throwing it up for discussion.
