for the buildup on the little plug thing (not sure what its called as i just got mine and can't remember haha)... i filled a small bowl with warm/hot water and some dish soap and dropped it in so it was submerged for about 30 minutes to soak. all i had to do after that was lightly scrub and rinse it off. was almost new again.

Will need to try that thanks for watching 😜

Glad it was helpful!

I love how easy to clean these smokers are. Just got an Ironwood XL a few days ago (1 cook so far), but its interesting to see how much gunk and buildup you had after a while. Good thing is that it looks easy to get rid of.

[@everydaycookingdad]

I really have nothing bad to say about this grill/smoker I've cooked just about everything in it

[@geraldcurtis121]

Looking in to getting a pellet smoker. I stick burn currently on a refurbished cheap offset. You have me thinking about getting a treager. Thanks for the content. Looking forward to more of your videos...

[@everydaycookingdad]

It really is set it and forget it, but you won't get that heavy heavy smoke flavor.

Sodium Hydroxide beads in water also called lye just don't get it on skin but soak them parts in tote with water and the beads mixture and spray mix inside the grill and pressure wash it be shining like a Dimond

[@everydaycookingdad]

Never heard of that but you scare me. lye just don't get it on skin😵

Thansk for the review! Looking into this grill and found this. Info for you, 2.4 GHz is the really old wireless technology, for most houses still has most of the devices connected here, and is suspectable to all kinds of interference, including running your microwave (which will almost knock all 2.4 and Bluetooth which also runs on 2.4 offline).

[@everydaycookingdad]

This grill works it's top of the line and easy to clean you will not be disappointed

[@recklessthor4]

I usually just ignore the wifi part​@@everydaycookingdad

[@everydaycookingdad]

@@recklessthor4 as time has gone by I don't use the Wi-Fi app as much lol

[@Breezy_WideAwake]

For informational purposes it should be noted that this isnt the XL. Its the regular Ironwood...

[@everydaycookingdad]

Yep the same but a little smaller

[@Badmana0]

clean the top heat deflector with an stanley blade then use traeger cleaner, spray it on and let it sit for 10 minutes then scrape again with blade an it will look like new. You can put the lower grates in the dish washer, i have the xl version and all 3 grate go in dish washer at the same time

[@everydaycookingdad]

stanley blade ? what is that

[@chriswilmas7819]

Just in case you weren't aware, this is not an xl. 😂
Jk... appreciate the video, my guy.

[@everydaycookingdad]

🙄

[@soscattered6126]

Thanks for this video. Do you ever feel like you should have gotten the bigger xl?

[@everydaycookingdad]

No only cooking for 3 most of the time and i also don't have the deck space

[@tomaszelibed6664]

Your food looking sooo delicious😍😋😋😋👌👍

[@everydaycookingdad]

Thank you 😋

[@BrentGranger]

You might want to change your title to just say Ironwood grill. Since this is not the XL. The ironwood XL and the ironwood are two different sized grills.

[@everydaycookingdad]

😔

[@VRSTLPerformance]

Im in canada and hearing a lot of people talk about taking forever to reach desired temp and glitches on the app have you experienced any of this?

[@everydaycookingdad]

The app can be a little glitchy at times. But the gill heating up every once in a while. I'll have to open the hood while it's heating up and then it ramps up But it takes no longer than any other grill that I have.

[@donhgr]

I’m not a pellet cooker fan, I have one but it does not come close to a gravity smoker like a Stumps or my Kamado Joe in taste. The Stumps gravity smoker is absolutely a set it and forget it.

[@everydaycookingdad]

Every cooker has its pluses and minuses when I wanna heavier smoke I go with my barrel cooker or Weber kettle

[@donhgr]

@@everydaycookingdad I can’t find any minuses with the Stump gravity. If you ever get one you’ll be amazed, set it and forget it like a pellet and the taste of an offset.

[@RHBengal]

That is not the XL version.

[@everydaycookingdad]

No it's the smaller version that's about $400.00 less

[@mdtransmissionspecialties]

That’s not a XL?

[@everydaycookingdad]

No it's the small one
