I've had my DLX for about 4 years now, and I'm going to deep clean it, and possibly either upgrade or replace some parts.
The auger motor is pretty loud. I suspect it got louder after pellets got wet. Has anyone replaced the motor or had loudness issues with the auger?
My drip tray has some corrosion, and has a bunch of caked-on gunk. Has anyone replaced theirs with the "higher gauge" steel ones from SmokeDaddy? There's a whole kit that includes the drip tray, deflector, and burn pot... just wondering if upgrading any/all of these things has any appreciable value. Or if I should save my money and just get the OEM replacement tray.
Another potential upgrade would be the control panel. Has anyone used both the original and newer-gen w/ wifi? Is the newer gen worth it? I have a Thermoworks Smoke w/ the RF remote, so I know the temp of the smoker already. Are there other compelling reasons to upgrade?
While I'm going to have the thing taken apart, are there any other things I should look at doing?
