High temp cooking

I learned something today. Normaly I am a low temp kind of guy. More time to drink beer that way. But today I cranked the old egg on up there to 500 and you probley already guessed what happened. All of that beautiful black patina that had formed on the inside of the egg burnt and then turned loose, all over my food. Live &learn.

I just did a 650* burn for an hour after a cook recently.. First time in a year and for 20 minutes or so it was definitely burning stuff off based upon the smoke. Normally my big fire cooking is lid open for searing, so it is rare for my egg to see temps over 400*.

Sometimes after a pizza or steak cook I'll just open it up and let it roll...Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

I am curious, how long did your Egg warm up before you added the food? I go back and forth between low and high and haven't had the problem....yet. Also I never put food on the Egg until I have clean looking and smelling smoke coming out. But that normally happens before I hit my target temperature.Jim

I let the egg get up to 500 degree temp and then put in the turkey. After I added the bird the egg quickly fell to 350 and that is where I cooked it. I think Skiddymarker is right that there lots of crud build up and the one high temp was enough to make it turn loose.San Angelo, texas
