    Hobart 1612 cleaning and disassembly--frozen adjustment knob

    I just picked up a Hobart 1612. It looks great and even came with the sharpener. The index knob is frozen and the gauge plate won't move.

I just went to fire it up for a smoked venison roast, and, much to my dismay, my buddy never cleaned it. EVERYTHING is covered in mold - walls, shelves, door...

    Just want to say Thanks Again....

    Somewhere there was a post where a guy had these squeaky clean racks in his smoker. They looked brand new in a well educated MES, and I asked if they were new, or how'd he get them so shiny clean? Well Saturday I was going to run my mats in the dishwasher to clean them. Since I was several...
