How to Clean Your Grill & Pellet Grill Maintenance
- Spray the grill grate and inside of the chimney with an all-natural degreaser/cleaner.
- Remove and clean both sides of the grill grates.
- We recommend NOT using wire brushes, but rather using a cleaning cloth or heavy-duty paper towels.
- Dispose of old foil or drip tray liners.
- Remove the drip tray and the heat baffle.
- Empty the pellets from the hopper.
- Vacuum the inside of the grill, the firepot and the hopper thoroughly, making sure you collect as much residual sawdust as possible.
- Scrub the inside of the chimney.
- Again, we recommend not using wire brushes. Instead, use a cleaning cloth or heavy-duty paper towels.
- Spray the inside and outside of the grill with the all-natural degreaser/cleaner and allow to soak for several minutes before wiping clean with a paper towel or cleaning cloth.
- While we recommend our Traeger All Natural Cleaner, you may also use any non-chemical cleaner or a mixture of diluted dish soap, water and vinegar.
- Last, reinsert all components, including the heat baffle, drip try, drip tray liners/foil, new bucket liners, and the grill grates, and you are set!
NOTE: Do NOT clean the Thermocouple or RTD unless there is a visual build-up on it that needs to be removed.
