    Cleaning PBC?

    I thought I saw a post a while ago about how to clean the PBC after mold has infested it (Maine winters, man, they'll getcha every time. Gonna build a structure this year so I can smoke continuously through the winter/year), but, now I can't seem to find that thread. Right now I'm "burning it off" with high temps, but can't remember the next steps. Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

    Thanks in advance!

    Burning it off should be all you need. Open the bottom dampers, take out the rebar and make sure your basket is plumb full and white hot. It will run at well over 400 F. That should be all you need, if you need more, do it again.
    Fire is the ultimate cleaner.

        It's just surface rust (flash rust) I wouldn't worry about it.You can wet a rag and wipe it out if you want. But I wouldn't be that concerned about it.

        Agreed; just throw a couple of pork butts in and build a grease layer back up!
