How to Clean Your Big Green Egg | BGE Maintenance
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 тра 2023
- It's warming up out there, and that means it's grilling & BBQ season! This video shows all you BGE owners, how to clean your big green egg. This is the regular BGE maintenance I perform on my egg when I notice any airflow, temperature control, and/or hard to keep the fire lit, issues. It's also something I strongly advise doing after every long slow and low BBQ session because ash is sneaky, and if you're smoking a brisket for 12+ hours, I can guarantee your big green egg is due for a thorough cleaning afterwards. Scraping ash out of the air vent is one thing, but giving it a deep clean is a game changer! Follow along and let me know what you think!

Thanks for sharing! I'm a huge fan of BGE's and completely agree about that sneaky ash spot.
Thanks for watching!
Dang that was some crazy amount of ash hiding in there.
I’d totally just take a leaf blower to it while holding my breath :^)
Hope you enjoyed La Belle France !
Haha a leaf blower would be wild!
Thanks so much! Much needed.
For 15 years I have owned a BGE. I use a shop vac with a dust collector to get the ash out after every cook. I also use an electric temp controller for my long cooks like brisket and pork shoulder.
Video Idea: make a video on how to replace the felt between the bottom of the egg and the lid. I think it will help the newer BGE owners.
A shop vac would make it MUCH easier to clean out regularly for sure. I may have to invest in one soon.
Great idea on the gasket change video!You might see that pop up in a few months depending on what recipes get in my way first. 😂
Thanks so much for watching and leaving the comment!
@@outdoorindoortexan the dust collector is the key to using a shop vac. It catches most of the ash and keeps the filter from clogging up. I got the idea from watching woodworking videos.
Hey, thanks very much for sharing this info. I'm going to use your tips to deep clean my egg this afternoon.
Sure thing! Happy I was able to help. Thanks so much for watching!

Do you ever clean the lid of your egg...I clean the firebox the same way but recently had a black residue appear on chicken...only on the top...not the area facing down on the grate...never seen it before...no idea where it came from
That’s so weird. You may have put a wood chunk in that had sooty smoke? Or put the chicken on too early and the fire was spitting ash from the fire starter or black smoke? I can’t see how the lid would suddenly drop that black stuff on it. If you find out what caused that, let me know! (Answering your question, no I don’t clean my lid. 12-ish years going strong)
