Mold thrives when moisture, high humidity, grease, food particles and stagnant air all come together. Mold is killed at somewhat low temperatures (like 150°), but a burnout will make scraping and clean-up easier. The Big Green Egg people recommend 450° to 500° for 2 hours, then a thorough cleaning after it cools down. Some people report that a cover can sometimes create conditions where mold can really grow.
