I do mine at 600*-650* until the lump gives out. At least an hour, sometimes 2 or 3.

But that would not get it white as new, would it? And how often do you do that? I usually run it up high like that right after a cook for about 30 minutes...any direction would be greatly appreciated.....

Not as white as new, but certainly much better than if you didn't do it at all.

I do it 4 or 5 times a year. More frequently if I do a lot of pork butts or briskets.

1. High as you feel comfortable
2. Until all of the gray smoke is gone and add 30 minutes
3. Maybe not

The firebox and fire ring looks white as new. The dome is lucky to get a muted black finish. Very dull look is what I am looking for

after
