Interior racks are difficult to slide in and out or tilt unexpectedly.

Safety first: Let the smoker cool before adjusting racks.

• Clean rails and racks: Remove racks and scrub the support rails with a non-abrasive pad and degreaser. Rinse and dry.
• Straighten rails: Gently bend any deformed rack supports back into position with pliers.
• Check rack fit: Replace racks that are significantly warped or no longer sit level.
• Load evenly: Avoid placing very heavy items on a single rack to prevent future bending.
