Hey fellas,
Newbie here with a used egg. I've been lurking for a few weeks, and recently switched over from a pellet grill. I've cooked on it once but after reading some threads have become a bit concerned. I bought the large egg from a guy who said he'd had it for a number of years and was getting rid of it because he was moving. Egg doesn't seem to be damaged but he told me he always used lighter fluid regularly and stored it outside uncovered. After my first cook it did seep some dark muck, but the pork turned out awesome. Got a new gasket kid, needs some hinge adjustments but nothing earth shattering. I was thinking it might not be the worst idea to do a long low temp burn to get rid of some of the crap caked inside and maybe expel some more water, once the temps warm up. Any suggestions or things to be aware of would be greatly appreciated.
