Opened the egg for the first time in a few weeks and found it decided to be a mold factory. Nothing a little fire can't fix!

That’s bad and last time mine was like that I let the grate soak in a bath of bleach for a little while before scrubbing and letting it take a wash in the dish washer. Came out spotless.

Just get it to 500-600° for a bit. Shut it down and once cool, use a balled up ball of aluminum foil to scrub down the ceramic. I had mold issues from time to time especially in the humid summers in the south US. I always leave the top and bottom vent open slightly before covering now. Haven’t had this issue in a while now.

We’ve had a bunch of rain here in SF Bay Area and I’m sure mine will look like that when I go to cook this weekend

Good lord. It’s like the Last of Us set. Sorry you gotta go through that fun.

Oh yeah… I’ve wiped out evolving forms of life several times and I think one was developing a civilization.
I’ll make sure to let the charcoal burnout whenever I’m planning to not use my BGE for awhile (like Winter or marathon travel). This burns off the grease and dries everything out. Any amount of grease left on the grate broadcasts invitations for things to grow.

For the future, once the egg has cooled, crack open the top and bottom vents a bit to allow airflow. Will prevent this from happening again.

I always hate seeing this. Thankfully doesn’t happen very often. Usually just when I have a bunch of people over and I’m ready to cook something quick.

Mine hasn’t been used since December. It’s covered and both vents are open. Hopefully mine doesn’t look like this again. Last time I just had the bottom vent open and it looked disgusting after 3 weeks 😂
