We've had a lot of rain lately and I haven't fired up my Mini for awhile and when I fired it up tonight it started sweating.  Anyone ever see this before?

    Yes. If it cooks on not fun to get off.

    Yup.  Moisture and grease coming through the pores.

    I wiped it off before the Egg got up to temp, but it continued to sweat.  Looks like it's baked on now.

    Nope. Never saw anything like that before. =)


    Sorry, Fish. Twice in one day. ;)

    Normal with the porous ceramic.  It will clean up with water/simple green...

    Hey, it's not MY egg, it's Fish's. As I implied in the post. Geeze

    Forget the funk coming out of Fish's egg, is that smoke coming out of the top and pine straw and dry leaves underneath?  WTH?

    has happened to me a few times... simple green and a soft brush/sponge and it cleaned up like new - simple green also works great on composite side tables

    My large had some minor sweating over the weekend.  Was cooking steak at 600F.  I heard a high pitched squeak for quite a while too, until temp came down.  Nowhere near that much residue though.

    My large has had some minor sweating at some point as I have a couple stains on the base.  They originally looked like drips but now I think they're sweat marks based off looking at these pictures.

    Yep. I was recently out of town for an extended period. When I got home, my large had some mildew inside. I lit it up and let it burn for a while. The inside cleaned up nicely but, though I didn't have the seepage that Fish had, I did have the same crud coming out of the top. And plenty of it! Luckily, it rained the next day before I had gotten around to cleaning it. Clean as a whistle afterward and I didn't lift finger. :)
