Recovering after a grease fire. How much of a deep clean do I need to do? Was planning on just doing the grates and the drip tray.

Do you make a habit of taking the box off and vacuuming the entire inside (including the ignitor and firebox)? That’ll help maintain a cleaner smoke and reduce grease fires.

You’re going to have to sand off the cracked up and flaking paint and then repaint with Rustolium. Otherwise you’ll start getting paint flakes in your food and the grill will begin to rust.
Also you might have to use a brass wire brush on a drill to clean off the heat-deflector/grease tray. It looks fairly baked on and might start corroding it.
Other than that it’s they typically maintenance.

I’ve bought some old military surplus stainless steel serving trays and just smoke my butts and what not in them. It captures nearly all of the grease/fat and so far has worked out really well. Hope this helps.
