FAQs
While you can use wood chunks or chips to smoke foods on your EGG, it is a charcoal barbecue. Using wood to fuel it could ause the ceramics to become tainted — so please avoid it.
Depending on your EGG and what temperature you plan to cook at, times can vary. However, a good benchmark is that the Large Big Green Egg should stay lit for a low & slow cook for 24 hours with one batch of charcoal. Remember to cook with the lid closed!
This part's easy, and you'll have the hang of it in no time.
- Fill the Firebox with Charcoal to just above the rim. Don’t be afraid of overloading your EGG – any unburned charcoal can be left and used next time. It's better to overload than underload!
- Light your EGG using a Big Green Egg Natural Fire Starter. Ruffle the edges a little to make lighting easier.
- Place a few pieces of charcoal over the Fire Starters to create a teepee shape. This will help the charcoal to get going faster.
- Open the Draft Door fully and leave your Big Green Egg open for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, you’ll notice the charcoal in the middle of your EGG is glowing.
- Now open your rEGGulator fully.
- Leave your EGG to heat for a further 2-5 minutes.
- Once the ceramics have warmed up, add your cooking surfaces. Wait a further 5-10 minutes, or until your EGG has reached your cooking temperature.
