Grilling and The Green Egg

Recommended Posts

The Egg has many nice features. My only reservation is capacity but maybe I don't really understand. I often smoke 4 large slabs of pork ribs and need a fair amount of space to do it. Would that work on the Egg??

 

Thanks for the pics, Chuck.

From what I read there great at holding temperatures even when it's cold outside. The only downside I could see is there expensive and may not have enough space if you do large cooks.

 

It seems everyone who has one like it so it must be fine.

 

Whatever your doing it sure keeps the LF smiling. :emotion-21:

I almost bought one years ago. I like the idea of super high temperature steak searing. Have you ever had a steak from Ruth's Chris? The thing is sizzling when it gets to you. I think they use like 1500 degrees. There is no way a regular grille can get that hot, but don't the green eggs get above 800?

Yep Mustang Guy that's how we do it.  BTW LF who owns it is from WV (Wheeling).  It retains heat very well and does get up to 800 degrees.  The lamb chops we had at the demo today were wonderful.....better than the brisket that cooked for 12 hours.

Check this out. I love the charcoal they are using. Never seen it like that before

 

I don't have a green egg but I won't use anything but lump charcoal.  It lasts a lot longer than regular briquettes, burns hotter and doesn't have any non wood materials in it.

I can get six slabs of ribs in a CAB.  Cut them in half and use rib racks.  Once my brother and I did eight racks but the last two were stacked on top of the rib racks on the upper level.  That was for the super bowl party.  They were well received no one used supplemental sauce and they pulled perfectly off the bone.  The heat can only get as hot as the material will burn, I hesitate to give any grill credit for temperatures high enough to quick sear, to me the fire does the work.

Checker???   

 

    Awesome memories with my Grandmother and me  taking the Yellow Cab to downtown Mpls.

 

Dayton's on Nicollet Mall was AWESOME for a little kid. 

 

Big Green Eggs are very much liked.

Yes it is, I have learned a lot from reading there. Whenever I go to cook something that I haven't done in a long time I always get ideas on rough cooking times and what other were trying.  The pit calculator they have has helped me build two smokers and they both worked perfect.
