Get ready to cook
Simply light the corner of one firestarter, and place it in the centre of your charcoal. Leave the Dome fully open and come back in 10 minutes for smouldering embers. Close the lid, and you'll be ready to cook in another 10.
FAQs
While you can happily add wood chunks or chips to the coals to smoke foods on your EGG, the Big Green Egg is designed to be a charcoal oven. Using wood to fuel it could cause the ceramics to become tainted, so is best avoided.
Depending on the size of your EGG and the temperature you plan to cook at, times can vary. However, a good benchmark is that the Large Big Green Egg with its Dome closed should stay lit for a low & slow cook for 24 hours with one batch of charcoal.
Add the charcoal to your Big Green Egg. Stop pouring when it reaches 5cm below the rim of the Fire Ring. This will provide the right amount of clearance beneath your cooking surfaces.
Open a little indent in the centre of the pile for a firestarter to nestle in the charcoal. Light the corner of the firestarter, place it in the coals, then build a little teepee of charcoal on top.
Leave the Dome fully open for 5-10 minutes to get the fire going, then close the Dome for 10 minutes more to allow the internal temperature to build. Keep both vents fully open until the thermometer is 10°C away from your recipe’s target temperature. Then it’s time to put in your chosen cooking surfaces.
