Water or grease leaking from bottom or door of smoker

Safety first: Allow the smoker to cool before cleaning or adjusting. Grease can be very hot.

Steps:

• 1. Level the smoker: Use a level to ensure the smoker is slightly tilted toward the drain (if equipped). Adjust legs or place shims as needed.
• 2. Clean drain system: Locate the drain hole or tube and clear any clogs with a brush or pipe cleaner. Flush with hot water once cool.
• 3. Check drip pan: Make sure the Cookshack drip pan is correctly positioned under the drain and not overfilled. Empty it regularly during long cooks.
• 4. Inspect door gasket: Look for tears, gaps, or hardened sections. Replace the gasket if it no longer seals properly.
