Hip Roof

Hip roof smoker systems use 26-gauge galvanized or painted R-panel steel sloping four ways from center peak, eliminating flat valleys where grease, creosote, and rainwater pool. 4/12 pitch gutters channel runoff away from fireboxes while roof-mounted 6″ stacks with hinged rain caps maintain draft.

Clean annually with low-pressure (1500 PSI) hot water, biodegradable degreaser, and stiff gutter brush. Silicone spray prevents creosote adhesion; inspect panel seams for loose screws before festival season.
