Light a Big Green Egg | How To Light a Fire in the Big Green Egg
For more barbecue and grilling recipes visit: howtobbqright.com/
Lighting your Big Green Egg is pretty easy, you just need to have a good bed of coals, make sure the air flow is unrestricted and use the right lump charcoal.
For the Big Green Egg, I gather up the larger pieces of lump charcoal and make a pyramid in the middle. Then I will place a fire starter in the pyramid and light. I let the fire burn steady for 15 minutes.
Once the coals have ashed over, spread them out, place your grill grate back on the BGE and close the lid. You will set your dampers on the top and bottom according to what temp you want your Big Green Egg to cook at.
When you are done cooking, shut the damper at the bottom, replace the top cap with a ceramic one and let the fire to die down.

Very helpful for a first time user. One thing I can add is that if you're using a shared green egg - pull the ashes out of the bottom flue with a grill cleaner (into a bucket) if your coals are not lighting well or if the grill has old charcoal in it.

just a quick tip, if you put the big green egg logo on the daisy wheel to the rear of the cooker you don't have to reset it every time the lid is opened

another thing I don't do is arrange the lump. I just dump it in, level it out, and start the fire using a propane trash burner torch. I can have it up and running in less than ten minutes and never have a problem with hot spots. Chef Jerry, using my Big Green Egg for the past 14 years

that only time I ever use my daisy wheel is when I want to keep the temp around 250 degrees for long slow cooking. Other than that, keep the top open and use the bottom vent to control heat.

Malcolm, I do it almost the same way in my Kamado Joe. I only wait about 10 min until I close the lid so I don’t wait as long as you but that may be slowing me down. I use the wax Webber starters since they are 1/4 the price of those style which I have used in the past.

You should do one of these tutorials for offset smoker. I’m curious how long it takes to get fire going and how much maintenance required to keep low and slow fire going. Thanks!

I just build a small wood fire in mine. When it's glowing red coal and reduced to 250 add meat n close. Once it hits 165, remove meat to side, add more hot coals from hand held chimney srarter close lid. The reason I start w wood fire is it always adds flavor to the raw meat best.
@jerryhubbard4461
@jerryhubbard4461 6 лет назад
one more tip for you BGE owners. To make is easy to watch the temp, turn the temp guage so the desired temp is straight up. That way all you have to do is look at the Egg guage from any distance and if the needle it straight up, your desired temp is showing.

Not mentioned in the video but something to know, you should wait for the "bad smoke" to clear before putting your food on, especially when all of your lump is fresh out of the bag.

Your microphone might be broken, I'm hearing a constant high pitched noise.
@Kmuggle
@Kmuggle 8 лет назад
+Paul Jordan The audio sounds fine ... ya must have somethin' else goin' on.
@chimpartwork
@chimpartwork 8 лет назад
How old are you? My dad didn't hear it (he's 48) but my buddies (all ~15) did hear it. You can't hear high frequencies when you're older.
@Kmuggle
@Kmuggle 8 лет назад
+Paul Jordan Ha! It's certainly possible. I'm a bit of a musician so I downloaded an mp3 of the audio, imported it into my recording platform and slapped an analyzer on it. On the spectrum analyzer there's a peak at about 15.7KHz. On the frequency equalization curve, depending on the playback location, it's a little peaky and has some constancy to it compared to other frequencies. Overall the frequencies are truncated at around 16.3KHz. When listening through my recording platform with reference speakers ... only when boosting the volume well over 0db (I went as high as +12db) ... can I hear a high pitched noise ... and then only at certain locations in playback. At volume levels below 0db playback was normal and without any artifacts.
@chimpartwork
@chimpartwork 8 лет назад
I have no idea what all of that means, but yeah there is a noise. Haha.
@Kmuggle
@Kmuggle 8 лет назад
+Paul Jordan It means I can find a suspect frequency that produces a high pitched tone ... that I can't hear at normal or even loud (0db aka clipping aka highest volume before signal distortion starts) volume levels ... but that I can hear (in some of the audio stream) when I turn up the volume until my speakers explode. Other people are now reporting the sound on other videos by Malcom ... and they all sound fine to me at 0db or less listening levels ... so I'm wondering if there may be some system specific reason ... such as the codec or the player ... or whatever.
