How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the grill to cool completely before cleaning grease. Grease can ignite.

  • 1. Inspect drip pan:
    • Remove grates and verify the drip pan is installed correctly with the slope toward the grease channel.
    • Re-seat or adjust as needed.
  • 2. Clean grease channel:
    • Use a plastic scraper to remove hardened grease from the channel.
    • Run a flexible brush or cloth through the channel to clear blockages.
  • 3. Check grease bucket:
    • Ensure the bucket or pail is installed and not full.
    • Empty and clean regularly.
  • 4. Deep clean interior:
    • Scrape heavy grease from the barrel walls and bottom.
    • Dispose of grease safely in a non-combustible container.
