Hello All,
I have owned my 18” WSM for about 4 years now. Up until recently, I never really did much cleaning other than the water pan and grates after each cook. I noticed last time I cooked I was getting some flakes from the lid on my meat. I got a nylon brush, a scraper and some Citrus Safe BBQ Grill Cleaner and went to work. I used the grill cleaner on the grates, water pan and basically the full interior of the grill.
Upon doing further research, I found a lot of people saying not to use any products on the interior as the buildup is good for the grill. Did I mess up? Will the grill still work correctly? Any safety concerns with using it on the interior?
