SBGE Clean Burn Questions

I replaced the gasket that I bought from RRP. Hope he heals up strong.
I have the kick ash basket. Heat deflector stone and grill grate from ceramic grill store.
Do I leave all this in the egg?
What temperature, time should it run at?
Thanks

Since many have viewed and no one has commented, take the following with several grains of salt:
Given you also have a LBGE would this be your first "clean burn" on either BGE?
Regardless of the answer, I own a LBGE and SBGE (the SBGE for 10 years and LBGE for several more) and I have never done a clean burn on either rig. Supposedly it makes the inside "all shiny and new looking" but I find that the periodic high temp (450-500*F) cooks achieve adequate results without going too high heat.
Wherever you land, remove the thermo if you are looking to really get the temp in the needle wrapping area although Tel-Tru can likely handle wherever you land. FWIW-

I'm not an advocate of clean burns. For a thorough cleaning, I take balled up foil to clean the inside and throat of the dome and the fire ring. I then take the fire box out and vacuum the area clean. I cover my plate setter with foil, so it's an easy cleanup by just replacing the foil.Living the good life smoking and joking

Sometimes if I know I have a small amount of lump left after a cook I will just open the vent fully and let it climb to 500 to 600° and let it burn itself out. As mentioned previously a wadded up foil ball will knock the crud off the dome pretty quick.
I also have the occasional unintentional clean burn. Light the egg... Get distracted... Come back to an inferno.Large, Medium, MiniMax, 36" Blackstone
