    Black Goo inside Smoker

    Thanks everyone. I'll be cleanin er out this weekend and reseasoning it. Then if I get new goo, then it'll be my goo and I'll know what it is. I did sign up for the e courses and look forward to learnin from all of you about my new addiction.

    Black Goo inside Smoker

    Thanks. Its definately not fat or grease in the bottom. It is dark black sticky "goo" that coats the entire inside of the chamber. Unless there is a way to tell whether it is creosote or from bad wood, I guess I will need to clean it out and re-season.

    Black Goo inside Smoker

    I'm new to the forum and relatively new to smoking. I just purchased a used offset smoker. It has a shiney black "goo" coating the inside of the smoking chamber. Is this good, meaning that it is well seasoned? or is this gooey black stuff dangerous?
