Hi Orf,
If the residue is powdery or greasy, wipe it out with a rag dampened with just a little vinegar and a sprinkle of salt. Follow up with a damp ( clean water) rag. Smoke for half an hour before putting meat in. Nice to have you with us Orf.
Best Wishes,

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill!
