Hi guys and gals I'm new to slow and low smoking . I have been a charcoal griller
For the last twenty years. Finally after watching YouTube videos and reading lots of information on several forums, I had my first smoke. I cooked a pork butt on my weber kettle. The pork came out great, it was hit with family& friends. My only problem is with the cleaning of my water pan and thermometer. Is there an easy way to get all this smoke off I can't even read my thermometer. Thank you guys in advance ☺

Welcome! There is a little trick. Put a drop of dish soap on the glass/face of the therm. Spread it around. You will still be able to read the therm. The smoke will adhere to the thin layer of soap. When you are done, it will wipe off with a wet towel.

I coat the scrubby side of a dish sponge with simple green and scrub it until I can see. I've also used a tiny dab of that Lava soap to scour the gunk off the face of an oven thermometer. Then just wipe it with a wet towel. Be careful not to submerge your thermometer in water, and dry it thoroughly.

After it is clean, put a drop of vegetable oil or cooking spray on the face of your thermometer, it makes cleanup easier.

Also, if you really get into smoking, a remote thermometer like the Maverick is a lot easier to deal with.
