Big Green EGG 101 - Learn to Use the Big Green Egg Grill

A crash course on using the Big Green Egg grill. From starting it, to temp control to cleaning.
One thing I forgot to mention is what to do after the charcoal is lit. I close the dome, adjust the vents and allow the temperature to come up slowly. It's much easier to increase the temp then to overshoot and try to drop it down.
If you have any other questions, let me know! Advanced BGE video coming up next.

Thanks a lot Maciek, I just got a Kamado and burned my first Spare Ribs, 🤦🏻‍♂️ these tips are gonna help!

[@GrillinWithDad]

thank you. And don't worry about burning the ribs. I burned A LOT of stuff when I first started with the egg.

[@renemendoza3683]

Would love to see a long BBQ on the BGE.

Great video! Have you ever thought about getting covers to protect your investments long term?

[@PedroHernandez-qz9nv]

Thank you brother. Blessings!

Is it possible to overtemp it during a burnout? I vaguely remember reading something regarding overtemping an egg.

[@jeba010583]

i'm stuck cant make my mind up yet, if I should get a green egg or a Kamado, all the reviews I've seen so far when they put them against each other it seems the Kamado has the upper hand but before i spend so much money I want to make sure I make the right decision

[@GrillinWithDad]

At the end of the day, both will work the exact same way. I think it's a personal preference more than anything else. I always wanted a Big Green Egg so that's what I got. That's not to say that there's anything wrong with a KJ.

[@jeba010583]

can you put all your videos here on your youtube channel please? almost all of them are on instgram only

[@GrillinWithDad]

yes, i'm working on that now. I'd like to have all my content on here eventually. Full start to to finish videos.

[@machyne82]

Why do you keep the charcoal plate in if you have a kick ash basket?

[@stevemorton9585]

Right?

[@zerocool579]

Does the BGE come with the plate setter or do you need to buy separately?

[@dankelly]

👍🏻. Where did you get that vent for the top of your BGE?

[@darrylbullock2716]

Great video!!

[@GrillinWithDad]

Thanks! I love making them.

[@coreyhackett7278]

Great video!!!

[@moedoewizzy209]

Do they all come with a stand like that or do you got to buy them separate or do you got to make them ?

[@1r1sv4ns]

The stand you have to buy separate

[@armchairgangstac907]

Just got my first green egg. I was always under the impression when smoking at least on my other smokers the top vent should be completely open

[@d-rayphelps1630]

Negative. Only crack it open. Same thing with bottom vent. Only on a fast cook, I opened the bottom vent about 2 inches and the top about a inch.

[@brendankainrath8307]

great video, been cooking on the egg as well for over a year now and this video helped me learn more stuff!

[@GrillinWithDad]

Thank you. I really appreciate that.
