Clean the grid, fire grate and convEGGtor

Grid, fire grate and convEGGtor

From BGE Europe's maintenance and clean-burning guides.

  1. Brush the stainless grid hot, straight after cooking.
  2. Lift it with the Grid Gripper; never drop it on the fire ring, which can crack.
  3. Wire-brush the fire grate now and then: it keeps the EGG breathing.
  4. Clean the convEGGtor by burning it off upside down, dirty side to the fire.
  5. Hold 250 °C for 1 hour, and no hotter (BGE Europe). Scrub the soot off once cold.
  6. With a cast-iron grid, warm it gradually: never put a cold one into a very hot EGG.
