Got to be time for a cleanout so took egg 2 up high (I'll leave the 1000 degrees to TNW) :whistle:
The clean has 1 regular grid, 1 oblong from the adjustable rig, 1 weber grate,fish/shrimp grate 2 wing racks, a plate setter and a raised grate. Like I told the neighbors,, Sorry no food but it sure smells good.

Keep at 600 for about an hour

Egg 1 set for a couple of small 7" pizzas later. nothing special just cheese and pepperoni when I get to them.

What I could not fit in the clean. Guess I gotta clean these by hand. :( 2 CI pans, V rack, the other fish/shrimp grate and weber grate #2. all stored in the old weber gasser.

This is almost as much fun as cooking something with the neighbors (and the dog) expecting extras. :evil: :evil: :whistle: (saving 1 pizza for my disabled neighbor)

    Pat what kind of gasket you got? Looks stock. Afraid to burn mine that high that long but yours looks till good to go.

    Yea it's stock. Egg 2 is original & egg 1 replaced about 6 months ago. I havent done the 1000 degree like TNW but replaced the gasket because of use. Do a lot of TRex but never fried a gasket yet just replaced because i was bored. Told the wife it was necessary maintenance. Think she let me do it to keep from knocking another wall in the house down.
    :woohoo: :woohoo: Think she likes it better when I have tongs instead of a hammer in my hands. :blush::blush:

    I'm already gathering my protective gear on the chance I might be invited to the TNW demolition grounds :whistle::whistle: Will is updated & wife is cared for if I end up in more than one piece (think it's an insurance thing). So just give me a hollar and we can explode some stuff. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: . I'll leave the dog at home as he gets nervous above 750. :side: :woohoo: :blush: :huh: .

    You know how much I use mine and still on my stock one. With the "q" it will leak alittle but still works fine. I do think I'll Nomax it soon as you say "just because". :laugh:

    I did a cleaning burn about a month ago, taking the Egg to 1000*. I put my plate setter, which I thought beyond hope, in the conflagration. The Egg smoked like a fiend for 30 minutes, then burned clear. My plate setter came out absolutely white...I was amazed.

    Pat,

    I'm with you on the extremely high temps--I won't do it until the BGE is sitting out on a concrete slab in the middle of the yard. I've got mine underneath a covered porch, and I know that either one could very well take down the house. I generally only crank mine up to 600 (like you do) to burn off the greasy stuff. After last night's TRex, I put the porcelain grid, the extender, and the v-rack in there and let her rip for another hour. Everything left just brushed off easily with a stainless brush. There was a lot of smoke billowing out, too!

    Just do the wife a favor and if Doug says "here hold my beer" decline. Many a holiday weekend trauma and burn victims start that way. :huh:

    My hint for the day. Potato cannons from metal pipes with gunpowder as the propellant is ALWAYS a bad idea.

    Stick with PVC and hairspray and be safe for crying out loud :evil: :woohoo: :whistle:
