Sweating Dome

Smokin'Hoosier

Need some expert feedback into a strange event that happens when I fire my well seasoned large BGE up to do steaks. I've noticed that as the temp climbs above 450, droplets of clear brown liquid appear on the surface of the dome. As this process continues the droplets get bigger and form "streams" of liquid that runs down from top to bottom. This creates quite a mess if allowed to bake onto the surface. I usually paper towel off this fluid as it appears. My questions are:
Is this a normal occurrence?
Is there anything that can be done to prevent this?
Thanks for any insights into this spontaneous bleeding event.

I hope this doesn't mean my egg is defective

Yes this is normal. It has happened to me numerous times. The only way I know to rectify it is to cook more often. It is moisture wicking in to the ceramic. If you keep it hot enough moisture wouldn't have a chance.

May want to consider a few high temp cleaning burns. Then scrub the interior down with crumbled AF. Followed by a few more high temp burns. This should remove all the baked on grease and smoke.

Mike what is AF? Needto do some cleaning on the inside soon. I have done a few high temp cleaning burns, but there is some stubborn stuff in there.
