lots of smoke

I am trying to burn off some greese, a least I think that's what it is. Got my Egg going and was burning clear until it got to about 400* then a ton of smoke. Its at 700 now and has been smoking lots of white/gray smoke for about an hour now. Guess I'll let it keep going. I have mybplate setter and all my grates in it to burn off greese and what not. I'm just wondering if that is normal, I assume its just greese anyway.

Sounds like a pizza cook soon....

I was thinking about it but I don't cared for smokey pizza. The smoke does seem to be dying down slightly though.In Manchester, TNVol For Life!

One thing it may be is a non carbonized piece of lump. Open the dome, after burping it, and see if there is a piece of lump that flares up. If so, remove it and see if the smoke goes away.

Holy crap! I just opened the lid after burping and I guess the band had loosened and the dome just fell out behind my table right onto the concrete and a large chunk broke out of it.In Manchester, TNVol For Life!

No dropping an egg is not "usually" covered under the warranty. But, you can try I spect.jls9595 said:Is this covered under the warranty? I had opened it several times tonight and it didn't seem loose at all?

Sorry man that sucks. I think I will have to check my bolts before I use it again so that doesn't happen. I haven't checked in mine in a while. Good luck on the warranty. Is it still usable?XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

Try it. I wouldn't do a high heat cook without a 300-350 cook just to test how secure it is.I would still try a warranty claim.XL BGEJoe JRBaltimore, MD

I think I would try to glue the piece back on if it's still in on piece but it may not be needed. How thick was the chunk that broke off??-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.

The smoke had finally stopped and I had choked it down some. I opened it to throw a couple burgers on since I hadn't eaten dinner yet and boom, lid fell right out. I think I just stood there for a whole minute staring.In Manchester, TNVol For Life!

I'm betting unless you have an uber cool deal that the warranty will be a no go. Sorry.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.
