How to clean your built-in temp probe?

[Stevo]

What's the best way to clean a built-in probe? Specifically I want to clean mine in my Camp Chef PG24DLX. Thanks!!

I use Scotch Brite pads with a little detergent. Then wipe with a damp paper towel.

[MBMorgan]

Not specific to Camp Chef, but the folks at Grilla Grills recommend a little soapy water on a rag.

I don't clean any probes sure as heck ain't gonna touch that one. (for the record I am not a Proctologist)

[Stevo]

i wondered if something like goo gone would clean it lickety split. Make it nice n shiney even. And perhaps add a nice citruis flavor to future smokes?

Sounds like soapy water is the way to go...

[Jerod Broussard]

Goo gone is the bomb!

Little Scotch Brite or brillo pad, a little mild detergent. I don't usually bother with mine, though. Maybe once every year or two. lol

Easy Off Heavy Duty oven cleaner. Just spray a litle on a paper towel and wipe. Or spray the probe and wipe off the cleaner. Works great!

[Sephon]

This is what I do every couple months on my probes

A lesson for all Memphis Pro owners.
If you clean with anything but a GREEN scotch Brite pad it will void the warranty and you get to purchase a new one.

Why did I clean it?
Because I was 35* off on temp.
I used 0000 steel wool and voided the warranty.

[Randy-Phx]

Mine is off 35* too and Camp Chef is sending me a new one, buy they aren't charging me for it.

[Stevo]

I'm seeing that sort of discrepancy as well. Perhaps I should call Camp Chef too...

[Cheef]

Ive rarely been disappointed in BBQ gear Ive purchased. But the Memphis Pro keeps tempting me to be disappointed.

I wouldn't use steel wool or Brillo because iron particles can impregnate stainless and start corrosion. Scotchbrite is the way to go.

I bought a gallon of Extreme Simple Green Aircraft Precision cleaner to detail the engine in my Corvette. When the first time came to give my GrillGrates a cleaning I found it really worked well.

[Troutman]

I use the concentrated heavy duty Simple Green and Scotchbrite, about the same.

[Stevo]

Ok, I didn't need to go toxic with Goo Gone after all. As the wisdom of The Pit recommends, soap and water and a scotchbrite type sponge/scrubber cleaned it pretty darn good with little effort! I mean, its silver again. I used Dawn dishwashing liquid. After all, Dawn cleans crude oil off ducks.

Thanks all!

[RonB]

You quack me up.

Scotchbrite and elbow grease...

[Stevo]

mmm...elbow grease...
