Yes im nuts now ?! i spray my burnpot with grilling pam

it seems to have less build up take me away guys and gals burnpot stays cleaner i need another beer ?

I would think it would just burn off rather quickly. I clean mine with a wire brush cup on a drill till its smooth and that seems to help. Maybe I'll try a little cooking spray. It will at least smell good while it's burning off.

Your beer goggles are on...have another beer.

i love beer u gotta try it what u have to lose ?

i have now done it severaL TIMES does it not work on a red hot grill ?

Just joshing with ya. Never tried it myself, like you say can't hurt.

ME TOO

did someone say beer?

I rubbed in graphite powder on a Santa Fe burn pot and bottom and worked well to keep the bottom from sticking. I would dust the bottom after every cleaning. Baby powder for pellet stoves

Mmmmmm... Beer (this is happening again)

Me Three

I like beer.

Well grilling pam can't hurt and beer can't hurt either, so your good to go!!

Doggy

Hickory or Mesquite?

Hmm what does the hearth forum and its members have in common. A derailed thread going to a beer discussion lmao!

Spraying Pam on your burn pot will not hurt, but it will not help you either. Your efforts to prevent sticking are flawed because by the time the fire temps get hot enough to create the "fusions" that result in that hard build up, your Pam has been burned off quicker than Charlie Sheen. Like I said, it will not hurt, but spraying Pam on your burn pot to prevent sticking is about as helpful as bringing an accordian with you when you go duck hunting.

Its ok to waste a little Pam here and there, but please do not waste beer.

Beer AND accordians.....sounds like an Italian hoedown!...someone bring the Olive Oil Pam!!

Getting back to the serious side of this thread, a good replacement for the Pam would probably be a good coat of spray graphite or the dry moly spray. To do it right, the burn pot either needs to be brand new, or at least sand blasted down to bare metal.

I've had VERY good luck with the spray graphite on my combustion motor fan blades & motor case.....the ash comes right off. When I run out of that, I'll give the dry moly spray a whirl.

OK, NOW I'll have another Stella. hic
