Mold? Cleaning?

Does anyone else out there have a problem with mold growing inside your BGE? If I don't use it for a week or so, the inside is covered.
What's best, safest for next food grilled, way to clean?[p]Thanks

    Kuhndog,
    Burn it out with a hot fire. Do you have a cover on your Egg? A week is pretty quick for mold to grow. Where do you live?[p]TNW

    Kuhndog, a week is a pretty short time to be "covered" in mold. If it wasn't for the short time, I would just say cook more often. If you don't have one, get a cover for your egg, and replace the daisy wheel with the rain cap when not in use. Those two should help keep the moisture in the egg down.

    Kuhndog,
    As the others have said, you can just burn the mold off. Good excuse for a steak dinner! I also let the Egg temperature rise about 50° or so higher then the temperature I was cooking at after I take the food off. This should burn off any residual moisture. Since I started doing that I haven't had a moldy Egg later.[p]HTH[p]Kelly

    Kelly Keefe, I've never had mold in my egg....but then it has been 100*+ for a month and we're in a drought...hmmm, I suppose the environment could have something to do with it.
