Stampede Does anyone else’s 590 look as clean as mine?

[KRedman]

I have a bad habit of only cooking and not cleaning.

 

[Cokeman]

The same

 

[Lager1829]

Same and going to stay that way.

 

[Blues1]

Nope...

Besides cleaning the drip pan from burning when heavily soiled...cleaning isn't going to make your cooks taste any better.

If someone had a spotless pit...I wouldn't trust they know how to cook.

Glad I'm not alone

Spend more time cooking and less time cleaning... Mines close to yours.. I bought the smoker to cook with not to just sit and look pretty..

I clean the drip pan and vacuum the ash, that's it..

Same hear, but I also clean the grates before every cook. Maybe "overkill", it's a Marine thing!

 

[Dubs]

I’ve switched to no tin foil, so a quick brush of the grates when cooling, and a quick scrape of the drip pan and I‘m done.

Ha, I was looking at mine yesterday and it looks the same and have only had a few months. I clean the grates fairly regularly and change the foil on the drip pan after every cook or two depending on how messy. It is easy and removes any guilt from not cleaning the outside.

I have mine on our back porch with a concrete deck there are some wonderful memories on the deck too!

I can't take credit for this because I saw it in another Thread.

Keeping Drip Pan Clean​

I started using these after reading and they work great because they are much thicker than aluminum foil. They give better coverage on the 590 than the Bull.

Nah, mines clean and looks new, dirty grills aren't appealing to me.
I sealed the lid with lava block so the opening is clean and I clean the grate after every use and replace the foil every other use

This is my habit as well. Too busy cooking for anything else.

How's this for clean? I smoke 5 or 6 times a week every week for the past 13 years with my Stampede. Don't have to wash it. I use those self cleaning Tesla pellets Musk invented. Seriously. No kidding. My word.

 

[Beak]

I keep her clean , over a year old , I sealed the lid and added the stack

 

[DenStinett]

My Bull looks about the same most days
Yeah, I'll scrape off the bigger "Chunkies" and vacuum the Ash once in a while, but that about it
It'll get a thorough just before it's going to be covered for any length of time .... but how often is THAT ? ! ?
I should give it a good cleaning today though
Momma wants to bake some Homemade (Gluten Free) Sourdough Bread and Rolls in it this weekend

 

[BowDown]

Not only is it clean, I pulled it into the yard today and gave it a good bath in addition to vacuuming it out.
Now its about to smoke some ribs.

 

[jfjohn77]

Yep... Mine looks like yours @BowDown. It has to pass inspection!

 

[fullhouse32]

I clean the outside real good yesterday. Today I will vacuum and work on the inside. - pictures when I’m done

I have to clarify. The OUTSIDE has never been cleaned but I do brush the grates and foil the drip pan.
