Rust spots forming inside or outside the Cookshack smoker cabinet.

Safety first: Ensure the smoker is unplugged and cool before cleaning.

Steps:

• 1. Clean rusted areas: Use a non-metallic scrub pad to remove loose rust. For exterior surfaces, you may use a mild stainless cleaner.
• 2. Protect surfaces: Lightly oil interior surfaces with cooking oil after cleaning to slow further rusting.
• 3. Improve storage: Keep the smoker covered with a Cookshack cover when not in use and avoid leaving it in standing water or heavy rain.
• 4. Touch-up paint: For exterior painted surfaces, use high-temperature touch-up paint compatible with Cookshack finishes.
