Smokeware Vent Cap - Cleaning it

My Smokeware vent cap looks rather nasty after doing several butts and slabs of ribs, what is the best way to clean it?

I tried several a few cleaning products and elbow grease to clean mine. Next time I will try oven cleaner. BTW instructions say dishwasher, but I know our washer wouldn't clean it. This was my first attempt - but today I'm starting over.

Bear with me this afternoon as I am going to clean this ...more pictures to come.

Sprayed - now waiting

Easy Off Oven cleaner wins hands down! This after less than an hour of easy work!

+1 on the cleaning procedure. Ya can also use this product and it helps for future cleaning. I use it on my SS table and the Smokeware.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

Certainly works well!I believe Bar Keepers Friend would work well also for the really tough stuff. I use this with my nice stainless cookware in the house.XL BGE - Med BGE - Mini BGE - Traeger Pellet GrillsHillsboro OR

Wow, I need to try that. With the weber grid cleaner and a scouring pad I still couldn't get mine that clean!Also- I know everyone is saying it's dishwasher safe, but it's also suggested to put the gasket on the lid itself and not the egg (like I did). So are people who are dishwashing their vent caps doing it with the gasket on? I wouldn't think so...Steve

I sprayed mine with Easy Off Oven cleaner and put it in a garbage bag over night. The next day, I basically wiped it clean. Worked very well for me...Southlake, TX and Cowhouse Creek - King, TX. 2 Large, 1 Small and a lot of Eggcessories.

Can't reply about the dishwasher impact on the gasket applied to my SmokeWare itself, but if relatively high heat won't bother it I can't imagine it getting wet would be an issue. I just know the Heavy Duty Easy-Off that I used today worked like a charm as my pictures above showed - no scrubbing involved, just wipe the crud away though it does make a mess so just don't use the wife's good dish towels in the process! -
I'm definitely going to go get some Easy Off!
