Bull Heavy smoke heating up GrillGrates

[zymico]

I keep getting heavy smoke when heating up my Bull above 400F with more than 3 GrillGrates in. My wife keeps threatening to roll it into the pool.

Is anyone else having this problem?

I don't have a pool, no problem here.

lol its just grease on the sear kit. i use dish soap and hot water to clean them pretty often. it doesn’t remove the black just gets the grease off and stops the smoke every time guaranteed

NO, Not the pool…lol. Hello from the OC “Northener”. I haven’t put more that the standard 3 grate configuration on my Bull and always keep them on the right side. However, if I am doing bacon or a lot of burgers at lower temps, when I take it up to the higher temps again the valleys of the GGs get a pretty thorough burn until the leftover grease residue is gone. I also clean the pin holes out periodically to ensure good flow from the grates onto the drip pan versus letting the grease run beyond the edges of the pan. I also have one of GGs professional grates without the drain holes and place it parallel (left to right) to the drip pan so it does not create a hazardous condition. I also leave a good amount of ash in the bottom of the cooker evenly distributed throughout to absorb any grease spills and hopefully abate the growth of any corrosion in the future. I assume you are not covering the entire cooking surface as the restricted air flow may also increase the amount of smoke. Let us know what you find out as a solution. Smoke on!!!

I may know someone with a pool, but his wife has never threatened to roll my Bull into the pool!

Resolution is to find a new wife. Then you can enjoy both the bull, pool and maybe drink a beer while at it.
