Just bought a LBGE. Doing my first cook tonight, which will be a beer butt chicken. I am going to fill the fire box with BGE lump and use a plate setter.
My question is when I light the egg, using my electric starter, do I shut the lid once it is lit and wait on my desired temp then adjust my draft doors to stabiliize? Do i need to let the charcoal burn longer or is it ready for cooking when it reaches target temp. Wasn't sure if lump is ready when temp is reached since no lighter fluid will be used or if you need to let it burn some. Any other tips are appreciated! :cheers
