Anyone ever wax your egg?

cookingdude555

I know there are going to be some perv comments from the title, and that's OK, let it fly.  But I was looking for a product to kind of restore my 10 year old medium's wooden handle, and came across this:



It worked really good on the handle, so I then wiped the bands, and other metal surfaces on my egg.  Holy crap, they looked almost brand new from it.  They had previously had a powdery oxidation look that they were taking on.  So then my brain says, what about the enamel on the outside of the egg?  Boom, that looks brand new (ish) too!  Next thing I knew, I was waxing the kamado joe jr too, and that thing looks better than new now too!  This might go into regular maintenance for me, I am impressed.

Before:


After:


I am sure when this guy does its next meat sweat, it will all go away, but it looks like a new egg, for now.

Nice, let us know what happens after your next higher temp cook.

No. Why?  Wax your car.

I try to limit my waxing to smaller carbon count fatty acids with lower melting points due to the increase in friction from increased viscosity. 

That said, the before and after is miraculous.

I explained why. And yes the car waxing is something I do. Some people like everything to shine. I don’t care either way, the first pic of the medium sums up it’s 10 year existence. But this product reversed that for anyone inclined.

To each his own brother. I have enough to do without creating more work. That’s all.

That is how I feel about waxing a car.

Then my car looks better than yours. And it’s paint lasts longer. Given I’m a car enthusiast.

I promise your responses took more effort than wiping an egg down.

Looks better I am sure but I have never worn out a paint job.

Seriously, why does it matter?  I have 3 eggs. They’ve all survived meat sweats and Georgia weather. Sometimes their dusty, or polleny, or moldy. I don’t really care. They cook well even when they look like @JohnInCarolina’s MM. So again, to each his own. I’m gonna wax my car and spill grease on my egg. Thanks for your post.

That’s rude. No perv comments you brought up. Sorry you’re close minded. Never took you for that. 

bgebrent

I’ll let your post alone. Sorry for being honest.

I've explained that I dont have an investment either way, just passing on the info.  You have explained your point over and over, I was merely offering that you dont have to hang in this thread if it really bothers you.  Its for someones benefit, obviously not yours.  No offense meant here, but I dont know how to satisfy your questions.  I cleaned a handle, then tried the rest of the egg.  It looked kinda cool.  The end.

It benefits no one. That’s what you missed. Peace.

I dont always come off right online, its a flaw in this type of communication.  Sorry to rub you wrong, I apologize.  If you lived closer, I would wax your eggs for you.

That’s the cookingdude555 I thought was behind this post. I don’t either. You’re a good contributor. And I wax my 911, not my eggs😉

Well, we cant all drive a prius.  But I accept your shortcomings anyway.

@cookingdude555 I will try this with you, I have some of that very same mineral oil, it will only take a second to wipe it down and make it look nice again!

I am afraid this was a bad idea.  I need to get back to being ok with the egg looking like a mess.  @bgebrent, tried to rescue me, but I initially refused his rescue efforts.  I may be in trouble.

I hope one day to make you car sick in the N. GA Mountains in my 911.  Open invitation.

I've only been to georgia once, but if I ever get back,  you have your +1.

Isn't the glaze porous? So some of that oil slurry is under the glaze now. I'm interested to see it after the first cook. It looks good right now though. 

GrateEggspectations

Personally, I’m a fan. Keeps them shining and makes it easier to wipe grease and spot off of ‘em.
