I wanted to start fresh with my WSM and decided to give it a good
cleaning. After looking at the inside I tried to figure out the best
way. I decided to get a Shark Ultra Steam Blaster (that I've wanted for
a while anyway). This thing was unbelievable on the smoker (and my
kitchen floor). Here are before and after pictures of the lid, it took
me all but 15 minutes and it's like new again.

Now I get to have the fun of "seasoning" it all over again....but keep
up with a little cleaning this time.

So, when are you coming over to clean my kettle?

Pretty cool. I don't know if anyone else has had this happen, but I
had red flakes come off of my lid once and get on the meat. Since then
I've been cleaning the lid each time, but not as well as your steam
cleaner.
