Smoker interior paint peeling or flaking

Safety first: Allow the smoker to cool and wear a dust mask when removing loose paint.

• Remove loose material: Scrape and brush away any loose or flaking paint from the interior surfaces.
• Clean thoroughly: Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
• Season bare metal: Lightly coat exposed metal with cooking oil and run a high‑temperature burn‑off cycle to create a protective layer.
• Replace severely damaged parts: If large areas of the cabinet are peeling or rusting, consider replacing the inner liner or cabinet per Char‑Broil recommendations.
