I use a mapp torch, light as little or as much as you want depending on how much of a hurry you're in.

Just realize it is real easy to get hotter than your target temp and then it takes a long time to cool down from there. MAPP gas and a weed burner for me. After you light your first batch of brand new coal you'll quickly see why you want to be away from the egg when lighting it.

Yeah, I have a torch and a electric resistance lighter. If I'm going hot I'll use the torch, otherwise I put the electric one it and go inside and prep for 15 min while it lights off.

BGE - The Big Green Egg
Had a good cook today, did two Costco shoulders. Used my normal rub and did 210-225 all day. I was a bit nervous leaving for church but it was fine. The first I wrapped at 165 so I could make it in time for dinner, total time on that was about 10-11hrs, the one I didn't wrap took about 12. Both tasted great. The unwrapped one I liked a bit better but wife liked the wrapped one since the bark was softer. This is my 7 y/o eating another small bowl of meat before bed. |

I picked up an egg at the onset of our backyard remodel/pool installation. We got a nest so we could use for the period of time before built-in was ready for it.
Anyone need a nest? I will ship. https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/f...326403091.html |

Anyone have a table similar to this one?
My buddy picked up a large egg and wants a table for it but not for $900. That one is all aluminum and I could make it for probably a third that price, maybe less. Seems like a nice piece but haven't seen one in person. |

I got this one when it was on sale for $800. Even at its current price at $100 more than that one, you get far more and all food grade stainless steel:

That's a nice setup. Not trying to get that elaborate for something that I'll be doing for cost of materials plus beer and a meal cooked on it. Thought about doing the one I posted in 316ss but it's pricey and a pain to cut and bend.

Spatchcock chicken tonight with beets and sweet potatoes on the egg as well.
I think I’ve used this about 3x a week since getting it. |

I’m surprised how much it can be used like an oven. Tonight we will do burgers.
Wife still uses gas but if I’m home we do the egg. Hey Tom, how did that lump end up working out? |

I typically just used the lump charcoal that was at home depot. Good price and not cowboy brand which has bad reviews.
I've tried a bunch of different types and the home depot stuff was comparable. |

I can't believe I'm about to type this, but I looked at a Kamado Joe setup at Costco this weekend. If I ever decide to go bigger I'll probably go with one of those. They have really improved the design. It's got an ash catcher, a really nice hinge that makes the lid feel like a feather, a latch to latch it closed for a good seal, the top vent is nice too. They throw in a bunch of accessories as well. Lifetime warranty on ceramics just like bge. The only downfall I see is that they've only been around for 10 years.

Did my first ever pork shoulder over the weekend. Got a 13.5 lb package from Costco and had read ~1 hour per pound. As I wanted it ready by early afternoon, I put it on the grill at midnight. Stayed up until 1:00 am watching everything and making sure the temps were stable(ish) and went to bed with it around 240 degrees. Woke up at 4:00 am with the temp up to 290. Tried to adjust it back down and it eventually went back under 270.
However, the shoulders hit 200 degrees by 6:30 am so I pulled them and then wrapped them in foil and a towel and then went back to bed. They ended up tasting great (for my first try) but I was surprised by the 6 1/2 hour cooking time instead of 12+ hours. My guess is that this is because they were two 6+ pound cuts instead of 1 big 13 pound hunk of meat? This was my practice run for thanksgiving (pulled pork sliders FTW!!) |

I was just going to ask for recommendations for turkey too. I've not decided whether I will spatchcock mine but plan on smoking it. I've done them for thanksgiving in the past on the weber and really looking forward to doing it on the egg.
I've only got apple wood for smoke, is there a better one for turkey? |

I've used the Simon and Garfunkel rub recipe from Amazing Ribs for the past few years. It's a pretty solid herb-based rub. Everyone likes it. It's not off-putting at all.
https://amazingribs.com/tested-recip...ce-blend-baste Grind everything together, mix with a little water to make a paste, and stuff it under the skin. |

I usually do two or three turkeys for Thanksgiving, and I've smoked them for the last five years.
I also have used the simon and garfunkel rub with great success. There is another one I sometimes do that involves blending bacon and putting it under the skin, but I can't remember where it was from. Spatchcock is the best, and takes your cook time down to about 2 to 3 hours. Though its pretty hard to get two on the egg in that configuration. |
