Hey all,

This is my first season on soldered pans. I would love to power wash them after the season but will a power washer be to much for the seams? My biggest issue is getting the flue pan cleaned out since there are so many little crevasse in the bottom of it. I want to make sure these pans stay around for a long time.

Thanks,

The seams will hold up, but are the seams soldered with lead free solder? If not, you do not want to remove the coating on the solder from all of the boiling it has seen. As long as the solder is not brought back to shinny you are alright.

It is a lead free soldered pan
