Chimney cap or exhaust stack dripping brown liquid onto deck or patio

Safety first: Ensure the grill is cool before cleaning the chimney.

• Remove chimney cap: Unscrew and remove the Nexgrill chimney cap.
• Clean chimney: Use a brush or rag to remove built‑up soot and grease from inside the chimney and cap.
• Check pellet quality: Use dry, high‑quality pellets to reduce excess moisture and smoke.
• Install drip protection: Place a non‑flammable mat under the exhaust area to protect decking if needed.
