How do you clean your drum smoker?

I have to do something before it gets worse

Maybe scrape the inside with a bench scraper?

I don't see the problem.

Looks good to me.

Toss it in the garbage and buy stainless steel.

It’s a few sticky layers and it seems like the rust is getting more and more. So I should not do anything about that?

Looks way cleaner than mine. I wouldn't worry about it.

Spray the rust with some oil and keep on cookin!

There is a good video on YouTube where the guy uses members mark commercial grill cleaner from Sam’s and puts unscented cat litter in the bottom after it’s dry. Works great.

Thanks for replies
I would just have to burn and spray with Pam.
I have seen a few videos on YouTube. In Norway it’s very strict when it come to cleaner sprays like Sam’s. We are not able to get at strong as that here. Can’t even buy from eBay since you are not allowed to ship it to my country.

Does it need to be cleaned or cooked in more?
