Yesterday I was cleaning the tray slot racks which hang on the inside of the cooking chamber. I had them soaking in dishwasher detergent in a large sink, had already cleaned the racks, using a 3M pad. I didn't feel the 4 or 5 cuts, but noticed the blood in the water! Like paper cuts, they were clean and quick.
Also, BTW, BBQ_Bill, have you and the other tooling-engineering gentleman finished your refinements on your removable door hinges? I can see where it would help ease the cleanup task.
I was slicing a fennel bulb for fish tacos tonight on a mandolin when the bulb came apart and my pinky finger ran into the blade. It didn't want to stop bleeding but I wrapped it up tight and it eventually got tired of bleeding.
Yes, good call - just ordered a pair. I have some scary sharp Damascus chef knives that I'm almost afraid to use 'cause I sometimes get distracted. These gloves will make using them safer.

Yep, there are a few sharp edges. A few years back, I filleted my skin and "hand meat" wide open, all the way back to the bones in my hand at the base of my thumb, while carrying a 15 foot stainless pipe from an old milk plant. The collar on the pipe was deceptively sharp and the pipe was heavy, NO GLOVES! (Idiot)
Needless to say, I bled like a stuck pig. I wrapped it in a towel and had to run to the ER for some thread and needle work from the DR. NOW, I am very careful when handling any thing stainless like the rack inside the KBQ. I wear gloves most of the time when I am putting the door back on or re-installing the racks in the KBQ.
Dr. Pepper Bill and I have a design that works, but after I made them and installed them I never looked into getting them made. My shop has a CNC lathe, but we’re not set up for running off a whole bunch of small parts. No auto stock feed or anything.
Im not sure what bill has at his shop for equipment like that. If there’s small interest I might be able to just manually make them old school like, but I would suspect the demand would be more than just a couple pairs.
​​​​​​​ BBQ_Bill whatcha think?
Watch out for the sharp edges at each end of GrillGrates also. They will cut right through nitrile gloves and get you. That is the only complain I have about GrillGrates - otherwise they work great.
We all have our opinions.
Most all of the sharp edges on the KBQ C-60 smoker can be broken/dulled during a good cleaning session using thick dish washing gloves and coarse steel wool.
Probably around two hours of serious focus and a "get 'er done" attitude will duburr the majority of this machine.

The two internal supports for the racks are the KBQ components that have the most sharp edges for sure.
