The Big Green Egg is the most flexible grill available and can be used for smoking, grilling or baking. The Egg has incredible temperature management, that permits you to cook virtually anything on it. The thick ceramic walls and draft doors allow you to sear steaks at very high temperatures (up to 750 degrees) or slow cook ribs at a low temperature of 200-250 degrees. Or if you are craving pizza or bread, Big Green Egg bakes better than a brick oven. Below are some tips to make cooking with your Big Green Egg grill even more pleasing:
Grilling
Most people are familiar with grilling, but just in case, grilling means cooking the food straightly over coals at an average to high temp.. The Big Green Egg can go up to 750F for searing steaks, or you can lower the heat for slow cooking . Use the adjustable dampers at the bottom of the Egg along with the daisy wheel at the top for super temperature control for your desired grilling recipe.
Smoking
When it relates to smoking, the Egg's thick ceramic walls are ideal insulation for cooking at long, low temp. needed to tenderize and smoke meats. While setting up your EGG for smoking, layer lump (wood) charcoal with your favorite wood smoking chips (we like grape). Add more charcoal, then more wood chips; repeat until the firebox is full. You can use either normal fire starters or an electrical lighter to begin the charcoal (never use lighter fluid!). You're prepared to start cooking once the temperature has reached 250 degrees. Among the fantastic points about the Egg is that with the ceramic material and the truth that you always cook with the lid down, you can let your grill cook for long time periods (even over-night) without worrying about flare-ups or overcooking your food. Consider adding the plate setter or the rib rack to make your smoking experience even better.
Baking
Big Green Egg is well known for its adaptability and that's most evident when baking breads, dessert or even pizza in your Egg. You can turn your Egg into fire brick oven simply by adding a plate setter and baking stone (one of my favorite big Green Egg accessories). Eggheads love baking pizzas in their grills, so you can find a lot of pizza recipes at the Egghead forum. When you have tried a brick oven pizza in your Egg, believe me, you'll never order pizza again!
