big green egg

This was fun. One of the questions I got after the Weber charcoal sale at Home Depot was “Can you burn briquettes in a kamado?” I know the official answer is no, but I do it all the time in the Weber Summit Charcoal grill so I don’t know why it would be an issue in the ceramics except for ash...

It'd been a long time since I'd purchased St. Louis ribs from CostCo. I'd forgotten that they come in a 3 pack and that sometimes the producer (Swift) seems to have what to me is an odd definition of a St. Louis cut. Not being a fan of using a rib rack and 3 being right out for fitting on my...

Greetings Brethren: I'm considering a UDS build. I currently use a large BGE and am after more cooking surface area and more portability. Can those who have built a UDS recommend a hardware kit?

I'm sure you guys get this question a lot from friends and family just like I do. I decided to do a video on it. I was thinking through all the cookers I've have owned over the years and which ones would be the best for most folks cooking for friends and family who for whatever reason can only...

This one is longer, but I feel like it answers a lot of the questions I could not find when I was researching the MiniMax on youtube. There are some pretty cool shots in the middle of some ribeyes cooking. Also, I managed to squeeze a 9 pound pork butt on that thing and it turned out great. This...

Ok, I dunno what has happened to me. When younger, I was pretty darned good at cooking a good medium rare steak on the grill. I'd usually just use the "poke" method to see how the steak felt. But these days, even with using a Thermopen, and everything I can try...I can't seem to get a steak...

Hey everyone. Long time no see. I picked up a small BGE the other day for the low low price of FREE! It looked to be in pretty good shape and I got the nest with it. It looks like the previous owner left the cast iron cap on and it is stuck. I have only tried to remove it with my hands and a...

Will the IQ120 work as well as other units on my egg?

Cooked a couple racks of baby backs & a small batch of pig shots in the LBGE for a Super Bowl party. Ribs were rubbed with Oakridge Secret Weapon and sauced with Rob's Frog Sauce: Thanks for looking!

Greetings to all, I am a new owner of an XL BGE. My wife of 25 yrs decided it would be a great anniversary gift. Boy, was she right. We have spent many friday nights chatting and dining with another couple. The girls drinking fine wine and talking about our college age kids--the guys hovering...

Brand new! First time I used it yesterday. I had a tri-tip on there for 2 1/2 hours, temp was 230, so it didn't even get that hot. I went to lift the lid (didn't lift it the whole cook) to take the meat off and the gaskets where stuck together in one little spot (I figured out later) and they...

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum. You guys seem like a fun and very knowledgeable bunch and I thank you in advance for your help! I'm looking to buy some wood chunks for my new Kamado (which is being delivered any minute now :biggrin1:). I'd really like some pecan and peach for the Turkey...

Grilled tomatoes and asparagus! As a responsible father, I have to teach my children that we do not only sausages, spare ribs, steaks, burgers and other goodies. No! We also eat our veggies!:pop2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oie8pn8brv0 Must say, that I think there is no better way to make...

Yep Pizza, Oh man do I love pizza! This time I made the traditional pizza magherita as first made for Queen Magaretha 1889. Traditional Pizza Magherita on the barbecue - YouTube Let me know what you think! Thanks for watching

I've been having problems with my BGE taking a LONG time to get to temp for cooking. By a long time I mean that 90 mins after lighting I was barely reaching 300-350*. I've been doing the best I can to keep the pit clear of ash, but it just couldn't get up to temp anymore. So, for my birthday I...

We have been wanting to purchase a Big Green Egg and a dealer in California is selling their summer demo unit that they cooked with this summer. It's a large BGE with side tables, nest, and a platesetter and they are selling it for $750. Is this a good price and would you pull the trigger or...

I didn't have a lot of time to make pulled pork. So I did a fast version of pulled pork.:doh: Lazy Pitmaster 's Pulled Pork - YouTube It actually turned out great. I hope you enjoy my movie.:eusa_clap

Alright, it's almost time for me to build my egg a home. I've got a large egg and a stable of webers. One of my webers(performer) "rusted thru" and weber provided me with a nice green base, as I already had the lid, which was fine. So now I have a 22 1/2 kettle base with the side mounting...

Beef Jerky is now my favourite snack! This was my first attempt to maken beef jerky. I made a movie so I could share it with you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsPF6AjaojY&feature=plcp&context=C4cf8732VDvjVQa1PpcFPngLQJkS2dX3SQ3I_GcAJ4WuLn4-0mzU0%3D

Because of new additions to my family, I have les and les time to chill next to the grill. For me it's not an option to grill les, so multi tasking is the solution to this problem. I bought a temprature controller for the big green egg large from BBQguru. I have used it for a couple of times and...
