This is the 2nd time I've cleaned it out.
    Ugh...

    One of these days you are going to have a flameout. Good luck.

      Ok, Dad. I promise I'll clean it out more often.

            i cant believe there isnt more ash in that firepot. My only conclusion is that you are lying just to try to impress everyone here with your magical smoker.

              It must burn pretty clean. Maybe it's the pellets? For a long time I've been working my way through those Perfect Mix pellets many of us bought through Coach. I finally finished them up though so I'm back to using Traeger pellets.

                      If you clean it every few cooks, you are not with KC.

                              Yup, that's on the list. There's a pork rub that ddd mentioned but I can't find it...
