My BGE, daisy wheel and especially plate setter are getting pretty gunked up. I am thinking of just cranking it open and letting it go. Any danger to the wheel or PS from this? I have new gasket to put on when the weather warms anyway after a steak sear got a little out if hand. What do you all do?

    The last "clean burn" I did I was making pizza. Finished all my pies, pulled thermometer and let it rip. IMHO I can't see wasting lump just for a clean burn only. I make pizza @ 550F-700F so after pies are done it's nothing to hit atomic for clean up. That's just the way I do it.

    Put the DFMT right on the coals  - it gets red hot, but won't be harmed.  i think I took the little wire handle off just to be sure when I did mine.  Season as soon as it comes out with spray Pam.  It'll be back to black and good as new.  I had a pic somewhere...

    edit

    i was wrong, I left the wire on...
