Last time I smoked I got lazy and didn't clean my cooker. Two weeks later I opened the lid and found that a mold colony had decided to call my cooker home. Word to the wise... clean your cookers.
I spent the last day cleaning the entire cooker. Soaked the grates and water pan in grease remover and cleaned everything else with grease remover and dish soap.
My question relates to cooking again. Should I fire up the smoker one time to burn off the chemicals before I cook again? Evem though I rinsed everything off, I'm a little worried that some type of residue may burn of and get on the meat.
Thanks for any advice.
