Big Green Egg and kamado restoration

Ceramic cookers are the one grill type where over-cleaning does damage. Kamados are meant to carry an interior patina, and stripping it with chemicals ruins how the cooker holds and radiates heat.

Our Process

What we actually do

  • Remove the cooking grid, fire ring, fire box and plate setter for inspection
  • Clear ash and debris from the bowl and the lower vent so airflow is restored
  • Check the firebox for cracks and the gasket for wear, and report what we find
  • Deep-clean the cooking grid and cast components
  • Clean the exterior ceramic, bands, hinge and dome hardware
  • Reassemble with correct alignment and confirm the dome seals and vents move freely
Questions

Big Green Egg questions we get

Do you use chemicals inside a Big Green Egg?
No. The interior is cleaned mechanically and with heat. Chemical degreasers belong nowhere near porous ceramic.
Can you clean the exterior ceramic without damaging the finish?
Yes—the glazed exterior, bands and hardware get cleaned by hand with products safe for the finish.
