Moisture in Egg
Comments

i have noticed a little in mine also, just a little damp im thinking during the day when it heats up and then cools down at nite if you have a really good gasket on there like mine no air is going to really escape natural condensation i think, especially if i have the cover on it, im going to try and leave the vents open a little on it aand see if that changes anything,

Even more moisture than condensation...
I know probably not a good thing - but there have been times when I forgot to put the ceramic cap on, then it rains and water gets in through the daisy wheel. Went out the other night, left over charcoal was a bit damp.
I pushed the left over up around the edges, poured new dry charcoal in the center and started the fire.
I did keep the heat low for a longer period of time - 250-280 range for about an hour. Thought the low heat would dry out in the inside of the egg and the damp charcoal. Maybe I was over cautious, didn't want to hit high heat right off the bat.
Not the first time that has happened - no apparent problems or concerns that I can see.

There is a guy here that has a weekend only egg, and has mentioned his experience with this. I forget who it is, but to use egg on Saturday they run it overnight starting Friday. That amount of time isn't a set in stone, but it is an example that it does happen.

After the fire is out, I open the vent at the bottom, with the screen closed. Keeps bugs out. This has cured my issues with mold, since it is hot and humid in houston. I use mine on the weekends only really.

Slap a damp rid bucket on the grate when storing, if you have it covered it will always collect humidity in southern climates (especially). I have tried keeping the bottom vent open and same results.
Buckets are cheap and last a while.
