Green with Envy: Grill, Smoke and Bake in One Place

A popular gift is the Big Green Egg (or another kamado-style grill). This grill is touted for its versatility: you can grill, smoke, bake! We consulted a local Green Egg pro (and gracious brother-in-law!) to get a couple tips for those new to kamado-style grills. Here’s what we learned.

1. Use good quality lump charcoal (like Royal Oak).
2. Always close the lid while cooking.
3. Always burp the egg before opening the lid.
4. Cooking with wood chunks like oak or mesquite or apple add lots of flavor.
5. Pizza on an egg is wonderful!

We think BEEF is the best thing to cook on your Big Green Egg. Try a picanha, burger, or steak on your new Green Egg, and send us pictures that we can share!
