My Masterbuilt 560 leaks grease out onto the concrete below it. That stains the concrete and I haven't been able to get it out. I don't think a smoker should leak stuff like that, disappointed and not happy about it. It goes out the left rear, but did once on the left front once too. There are all sorts of seams that are not sealed. I put something under it to catch the grease, but on a long cook it dripped enough that it ran off that onto the concrete. Yeah, I can put something bigger under it, that might just be the answer. I tried sealing it where I thought the leak was, with high temp ultra black gasket maker. No difference, could be I didn't do a good job or didn't get the right spot. I clean it out pretty good after every cook, I don't let stuff build up.
I do have the LSS manifold cover, maybe that channels the grease to a bad spot. I will try cooking without that. I also use drip trays to catch as much as I can, and it still is enough to leak. Why isn't this sealed better?
Any ideas about getting the grease stains out of the concrete, and any better ideas about how to stop the leak?
