Do I need to clean the inside of my dome?

The Bean

My Egg is a few years old and well used, so.....it's got quite a bit of soot (is that spelled right?) on the inside of the dome. Do I need to scrape that off periodically or does that "season" the egg and add to it?
Thanks.
Thanks.

What @Chubbs said, and you don't need to go nuclear 600-700 for a couple hours. You may want to pull the thermometer in case things get out of hand.

If it's caked on and flakey... Ball up some foil and give it a once over knocking the crud off. that should be enough to keep you rolling along for a few more years.

When flakes fall on your pizza you know its time. The aluminum wad trick works great. Or simply send me your egg because its too dirty.Columbus, Ohio--A Gasser filled with Matchlight and an Ugly Drum.

Be forewarned, if you decide to do a high heat clean burn, your most likely gonna fry the gasket ( unless you've already upgraded) might think about having a Rutland on hand.I've slow smoked and eaten so much pork, I'm legally recognized as being part swine - Chatsworth Ca.
