OK, I’ve asked a similar question on a different channel but here it is again. I didn’t apply anything to the insides of my PK300 before using it and it seems to have a perpetual flaking/dusting problem on the upper shell. I don’t use it often, but when I do it typically has residue flaking / dusting off of it, just touch it and it falls off. So I’m thinking that applying a grease or oil prior to the next cook might be in order. Thoughts? I have some stored bacon grease in the fridge, and just bought a can of duck fat. Any thoughts of which might be preferable? Leaning toward the bacon grease. Thanx.

I have a PK360 for close to 5 years and it’s just charcoal residue. I occasionally use a bristle brush and brush it off. Have not had any taste issues and I do not apply grease or oil. FWIW….. -
I have the PK TX and it is the same. I’m with TripleB on this one though, just scrape it off with a wire brush (or similar) before cooking. I have never applied oil to mine.Comment

I'm pretty sure this would be a short term fix that you'd have to keep reapplying. But I stand ready to be proved wrong if you try it.Originally posted by Jessterr View Post
On my PK original, if I'm grilling I just slam the lid to knock off the loose flakes so they don't fall on my food, and roll with it. (NOT a manufacturer recommended method.) For a long cook, I do the brush method first, then slam.Comment

Thanks for the feedback, folks. I followed everyone’s advice, just brushed it off and proceeded to cook, but it’s comforting to know that I didn’t do anything wrong by not pre-conditioning with oil.Comment
