Having a decent Vac to get into the Fire Pot, makes easy cleaning. You should ideally, never leave pellets in the fire pot.
There are a few brands out there like Green Mountain Grill Prime Daniel Boone and Jim Bowie that have a port hole for the firepot. This means you don’t have to pull out the grill, heat field etc.. to get to the firepot.
