Have been lining the hopper with hickory splits but after a brisket, I decided to to switch it up with some Cherry splits. After emptying the hopper i noticed a bit of buildup behind one of the tiles. 1) Has anyone else noticed that? 2) Do you or have you ever removed the tiles when cleaning the hopper of creosote?
