The other day I was smoking ribs. Late in the cooking process I tossed a few small wood chunks on the coals below. My thought was that it would give the meat a little extra kiss of flavor & it did. I noticed a couple of days later when I went to clean the grill that there was a baked on brown residue that coated the entire inside of the smoker. It looked liked dried brown paint. I used a garden hose with soap & water to clean it but it was stubborn. I've been smoking for years & have never experienced this occurrence before. Was the wood chips late in the cooking process that possibly caused this?
