5. Wipe Down the Exterior: Clean the exterior with a mild cleaner to remove grease or grime buildup. Avoid abrasive materials to prevent scratching the surface.
6. Monitor Pellet Supply: Always ensure you have enough pellets for long cooking sessions, and refill the hopper before it gets too low.
7. Check for Rust: Periodically inspect the grill’s metal components, especially the grates and burn pot, for signs of rust. Replace any corroded parts as needed.
8. Cover the Grill: When not in use, cover the grill with a weather-resistant cover to protect it from the elements, preventing moisture damage and rust.
9. Check Flame and Smoke Output: Ensure a steady, clean flame and smoke output. Adjust pellet flow and airflow if you notice any irregularities in smoke levels.
10. Annual Professional Inspection: Schedule an annual inspection with a professional to check all components, including the pellet system, burn pot, and gas connections, for optimal performance and safety.
