I have been using my two weber bullet smokers for over a decade. I just pulled one out (just finished smoling 40 lbs of pork butt in the snow and 20 degree weather...still cooked like a champ) of the storage shed I built for them and found that they BOTH had mold growing all over the grates and down the sides of the body of the smoker?
At the end of every smoke I always scrub the water bowl clean and burn off the grates on my weber gas grill then scrub them down to get off any trace of food. I have never had any issues until yesterday. The smokers were cleaned last time prior to putting them away. Like I said the grates and bowl were thoroughly cleaned though so don't know where the mold came from. I have never had that problem before
Has anyone ever had a problem with mold growing in their smoker on the grates and on the body after cleaning it? I burned off the grates again and scrubbed the
body clean (then hit it with a propane torch inside the body) just to ensure I had everything clean before putting the pork butts on for my smoke yesterday.
Any thoughts on how to prevent it again in the future?
Wishing everyone a great Christmas filled with charcoal and smoked goodness!
