What should I clean my Brinkman smoker with -- is it safe to use SOS pads on the racks (where you put the meat)? How about the inside of the cover - should this be cleaned or left alone? If should be cleaned, with what?

If your racks are the chrome ones, yes, WET SOS pads will work. So will the green Scotchbrite pads and a degreasing detergent. As for the lid, the safe way to go is a degreaser and HOT water with a non abrasive rag. If you have a good enamel paint on it, then oven cleaner works as well. Just make sure you rinse it really, really, well with hot soapy water after cleaning it with oven cleaner. (This is how I clean mine).
