Egg Sweating from the Bottom

BigTex33

Has anyone seen this before firsthand? I saw this last night after opening up the vents on my XL to do a burn out after smoking some chicken. I immediately shut down my egg and then cleaned it out today. I was thinking there would be some kind of crack, but there was nothing. I decided to clean out all the ash and try a burn with clean charcoal today. Same thing happened but not as much coming through. I did have some grease build up on the bottom of the egg from a year of smoking pork shoulders, chickens, and brisket. (I do use drip pans but I can't always catch everything) Is it possible the grease and water from recent rain is sweating out of the egg? I did recently buy the XL table nest from BGE, maybe this has been happening all along and I just couldn't see it.

I've had a little sweating from my Small Egg before but from the dome. I haven't seen one sweat from just the bottom like that before.

Most of the posts I've seen about sweating cited infrequent use of the Egg combined with lots of rain as the cause.

I would think that clean out burn should have taken care of the sweating.

Here's some posts on the topic:

Nothing to worry about. There's been crazy rain for weeks where I am, and my egg sweats out water every time I cook at a high temp. Ceramic is porous by nature - water comes in and goes out.
