BBQ and Smokehouse Hood Cleaning to Bare Metal

Scraped, Then Washed

Smoke residue bakes onto steel. We hand-scrape the heavy layers first, because a pressure washer alone just slides over them.

Monthly Schedule Kept

Solid-fuel kitchens need cleaning every month. We set a recurring date so you aren't trying to remember when the last one was.

Proof on File

Each visit leaves a dated certificate, a sticker on the hood and before/after photos, so your records stay current month after month.

BBQ and Smokehouse Hood Cleaning by Setup

Barbecue kitchens are built in a lot of different ways. These are the setups we clean most around Houston.

Indoor Smokers Under a Hood

Indoor smokers vent smoke, heat and fat vapor straight into the hood. The first few feet of duct above the hood usually carry the thickest buildup, because that's where the air starts to cool.

We clean the hood and follow the duct from there all the way to the fan.

Wood and Charcoal Grills

Mesquite, oak and charcoal grills throw off grease and creosote-like residue together. It builds up faster than buildup from gas cooking and is harder to remove.

These ducts need more hand-scraping time, which is why first visits on solid-fuel systems often take longer.

Pits Tied Into a Kitchen Exhaust

Some restaurants connect the pit room to the main kitchen exhaust, or run long horizontal ducts to reach the roof. Grease pools in those flat stretches.

We work through every access panel on the run and note in writing any section that can't be reached.

Rooftop Fans Over Smokehouses

The fan at the top catches whatever got past everything else. On a smokehouse that's a lot. We degrease the blades and housing, check the belt and motor, and test the fan after.

Containment mats and drain covers protect the roof during the wash. More on rooftop exhaust fan cleaning.
