Cleaning the inside of your BGE

Using a wadded up ball of aluminium foil is a good way to clean the inside surfaces of your egg.  First build a hot fire and let it burn out, kind of like a self cleaning oven, when the egg is fully cooled, just use the foil ball as a scrub pad to remove the built up carbon and smoke deposits in the dome, base and fire box.

    Does the BGE really need to be cleaned? I mean what's the criteria for the BGE needing cleaning? I don't recall reading anything about cleaning the BGE besides from emptying charcoal ashes.

    I guess at some point you could have carbon and grease buildup that needed cleaning. Based on my experience so far, that would take many years of almost daily use.
