What to do when there’s a gap between top edge & bottom edge when the lid is closed. That is, there’s a seal in front, but smoke comes out the back, because there’s about a 1/8” gap between the lid & the bottom part. I feel like there must be a simple adjustment to be made, but IDK how.

Great videos, I’ve learned a ton. First brisket last night on a Large Egg. I found that the setting for 250 is the slight 1/16” crack at the bottom vent and a crescent moon on the top, not wide open. It was at 250 went I went to sleep and stayed that way for 12 hours. Variables - Green Egg Coals filled to just below the deflector, Green Egg Chunk Mesquite (4 good hunks), cast iron ash collector in the bottom, stainless steel fire basket. I am assuming everyone’s is going to be a bit different based on size of egg and all of these variables, but that worked perfect for me. Damp, cold night (40 deg) and it maintained that temp exactly the whole time.

I'm an OFA member (just say I'm older than Capt Ron); I've been cooking on my Egg for 20 years; I watch all VIDs by Capt Ron. Main reason for watching is his personality and presentation. Another reason for being hooked on his videos is because he teaches "technique" not "procedure". Meaning, lots of ways to skin a cat, and Capt Ron is just showing how he does it. Would enjoy seeing him use the Large instead of always using the XL. I know the XL is better for the camera. However, the majority of Eggheads I know use the Large. Yes, same procedures. However, there are sometimes minor differences that come up when using one vs. the other. Keep it going Capt John...!

Absolutely loving the videos ! Two reasons for the comment … 1. Wold absolutely love the video on the smoke that you mentioned . And 2. Definitely will only use chunks for low and slow and will never soak anything … but I wondered, when would you ever use chips ? If ever ? Would you only use them maybe if you was searing a steak after you have already cooked it to 125 degrees internal indirectly for example ? I hope I have made sense haha
@FOGOcharcoal2 жыл бұрын
You made perfect sense Mark. 1st- the smoke video is now officially added to the plans. 2nd- I do occasionally use chips. Just like you said, maybe for some wood flavor when I'm searing and if I have something smaller that I'm smoking and don't want to overload it.

I have had my Egg for thirteen years and still love it! But here is my latest improvement to my low slow cooking. I use the pizza stone with the expander set for my heat deflector instead of the regular ceramic plate setter for cooking ribs. I put a pan on the pizza stone with water plus aromatics and smoke the ribs about 4 +/- hours unwrapped. These ribs come out so tender and juicy it's a sin! so much better than when I used the plate setter. Why???? I still use the ceramic plate setter for most indirect cooks but for ribs and prime rib, I think the pizza stone with a water pan is much better

Thanks for the video. Need all the help I can get. I live at 9000 ft, have been using a traeger for 18 years and have now owned a BGE XL for 2 weeks. Getting to and maintaining temp has been a true challenge. I put what I thought was enough fuel for a slow long cook, lit it up and temps shot to 500 degrees'ish. Was impossible to get the BGE cooled to 250 to 275 degrees. I will try this approach. Also wondering if these things are meant to be used at this elevation (27% less O2 than sea level). Sticking with it for now, but have had a lot of buyers remorse and frustration to date. Currently missing the traeger - but will be persistent.

Mark, I beg you to stick with it, you will learn to love it. There can definitely be a bit of a learning curve though. If it gets too hot, add more charcoal on top and shut the vents down considerably. That'll choke out the top layer of charcoal and cool it off quickly. The trick is to catch the temps on the way up... It's difficult to cool them down quickly.

New to BGE, plus new to smoking all together. Your videos have been a great help. So far Im on my 5th boston butt. What are your thoughts on using a temp control device like flame boss or the egg genius? You may have a video on this, i just havent seen it yet.

obviously to keep the temperature at low and slow between 225 and 250 you have to now close the top to a slit in the bottom almost closed, correct???
@FOGOcharcoalАй бұрын
I leave the top open all the way and close the bottom down to just a slit

Hi Anthony, check to see if you have any alignment issues all around. Put a piece of paper in between the dome and base and close it. Pull the paper, it should slide but have a little tug to it....

Heck yes, this is REALLY helpful! Ugh i've been hitting a wall on how to smoke low and slow for a long time with the big green egg. Is it the same for the L sized? Put charcoal up to the fire ring? Can an L sized BGE do long smokes?

I have a large egg and have easily smoked brisket for 20 hours with fuel leftover at the end - exactly like this. Only problem is most packer briskets are right at 18 inches long so it's a tight fit inside...just be sure to trim it right...it shrinks as it cooks of course.
@FOGOcharcoal2 жыл бұрын
Hi Miguel, yes, it works exactly the same way on the Large. I like to fill it up with charcoal just under the plate setter.
@FOGOcharcoal2 жыл бұрын
You're so right Dave, exactly. Get yourself a rib rack and drape a big brisket over the rib rack and it'll fit way better.

Absolutely a Large can do it. Like Ron said fill up the lump charcoal and watch it go. I have done long overnight cooks no issues. I have a pair of Large Team Beavis and Butt-head huh huh fire fire

I have had my large bfe for 2 months. I use the meater and run at 225°. I reach temp on anything i cook within 2.5 hours. I don't see how to cook something for longer. My 4.5 lbs roast 2hrs. It was great but boxes never just pull out.

I am not sure what you are cooking but there is not much that will be ready in 2.5 hours when smoking at 225. I am not sure what you meant by that last sentence.

Great question Oliver. I have actually cooked in my XL for 24 hours at 250° and still had charcoal left. I never added any at all.
