Hello all sorry for such a beginner question! How do you all clean your BGE? On one of my first cooks i used bbq sauce and now it is all over! What do you use. Also how often do you clean it?

    Assuming your talking about the inside I will do a clean burn 3 or 4 times a year by taking the temp to 600 for a couple hours

    Yes i am talking about the inside... so I clean it like I would the oven? Just turn it on and let it burn?

    Shooby...It is the absolute only way to go for egg cleaning. And if you have a platesetter or pizza stone that needs a good clean, toss it in there, too. It will come out looking brand new! ;) Beware however... it is possible to fry your gasket...particularly the felt stock gaskets. If that happens, have no fear....we'll help you replace the gasket in no time. ;) Something all Eggheads should learn anyways... :laugh: :whistle:

    Which reminds me... what's with the felt gaskets anyway. I've already fried mine. Called my dealer about it (that and my broken CI grate). Told him I heard that BGE would replace felt with Nomex and wanted that if possible. I got a new grate and Nomex gasket. No charge, of course.

    So, why don't they just install Nomex in the first place and save us (and them) the hassle?

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
