Clean burn

texaswig

I haven't did a clean burn in about 6 months. So it was about time. Can't have it looking bad when people come over and get the "egg talk" as the other half likes to call it.

Let 'er rip!

How often do you do this?  I usually cook 2-3 times a week on my egg and have never done this?

Do you cook/bake pizza at high temps? If so after the pies are done....pull the thermometer and let her rip.

I've only did it one other time and I've had my egg almost a year. I cleaned my drip pan too. I use foil on it most times.

It depends @jcaspary. Is there a greasy soot build up on the dome and base sides, does it smell ranciid, or are you just embarrassed with the way it looks inside. The more low and slows the more I clean burn. The more high temp pizza and steaks the less it is needed .

I have only done it once purposely. Other than that I find a good high temp (650+℉) pizza cook is sufficient. That's just me. I spect if all ya did was L&S may want to do it.

Yeah. I don't do pizzas that much. I need to start doing them more. they're fun.

Thanks for the tips.  I do pizza quite often.  Have only done low and slow a couple of times.  Need to do them more often.

I haven't done one for about a year and I'm long overdue!

It looks a lot worse in person.

I do mine about 2 times a year, but we have several kamados and they don't get used as heavy as when I just had one.

LOL - but yours doesn't even yet have those horrible looking big flakes of crud just screaming "WE WILL FALL OFF ON YOUR FOOD THE NEXT TIME YOU SERVE COMPANY! " I just wish I would have taken one or two pictures of my embarrassing domes before doing burn outs so I could post a picture when people ask why, or when you do a burn out! For some reason just telling them "you will know when it is time, Grasshopper" just doesn't seem to register with those doubters!

Very true. 650 burn for an hour or so then wipe with a wadded up boil of foil. Works awesome.

I ball up some tinfoil and scrape it off. Been working good so far.
