Gone Nuclear

Posts: 682
Haven't done a clean burn in a couple of years. Duty host for Canadian Thanksgiving for both sides of the family this year. Gone nuclear so I can showcase clean eggs his weekend rather than a couple of funky gunky ones. Chugging along like a couple of steam engines...

Let'em burn brother. The Grease Gods will be pleased.
Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -

@SGH @bhedges1987 @kl8ton Both bases nice and white inside & gunk free. Domes not as much but clean all the same. Used a full bag of Royal Oak. Last time used a bag of BGE lump and results were much whiter. Maybe it burns hotter? Don't want to start another damn lump debate. Satisfied none the less.

@kl8ton that one has been gasketless since the previous burn 2yrs ago, but yes the newer large is naked now as well. Might get around to replacing both some day.

No way am I going to egg all winter. My lord...it gets to below 50 degrees on some nights!!!!Just bought an Egg? Here is what you get to look forward to now:
Plate Setter, FlameBoss 200, Spider, PSWOO-CI, Additional Rig Shelf for dome cooking, Thermapen, iGrill2, Cast Iron, Blackstone, Cooking Accessories for the Blackstone, Cover for the Egg and the Blackstone, shopping for Rub like a fine wine or IPA, and a new fascination with lump and what brand is the best-all to be debated every Friday Night. Next desires-Joetisceriie, Adjustable Rig, Grillmates, table and more eggs

While I totally despise winter I'm kind of looking forward to going some cooks in the teens, singles, and below zero days just so I can say I did them. That and I like smoked and grilled goodness.Bill Denver, CO

A word to the wise, when you do a clean burn, remove your thermometer from the egg, clean burn temps are out of spec for what your thermometer is said to be able to handle by the manufacturer. YMMV

Are those thermometers wrapped all the way around? Only had that happen once on accident.
I egg in the winter. Course I'm in North Texas so our lows MIGHT be in the 20s for a couple of nights.Aledo, Texas

@Toxarch yup wrapped right around to nuclear but as @smokeybreeze said, take out the thermometer. You will fry the gasket so be prepared to replace it or go without one which is fine as well. Winter egging has seen temps as low as 22 degrees up here and the neighbors think I'm a bit tetched in the head.

Usually when it gets down to 22 here, it will also snow. That snow quickly turns to ice so the whole area will close down for a day or two.Aledo, Texas

BGE lore has it that it's always good move to take out the dome thermometers.
Precautionary i think. Not sure that their being pinned at 250, after spinning around once, is a potential problem. But some think that's a reason some thermos go out of calibration -
The old style BGE thermometers I had definitely would get out of whack at high heat. I don't know about the new ones because I always pull them out for a clean burn now.

The old therms where whack from the git-go. The new TelTrus I've left in. Used to wrap it quite often when eggin pizzas...still holding strong.BrandonQuad Cities
