The Big Green Egg is the most versatile grill available and could be used for smoking, grilling or baking. The Egg has incredible temperature control, which allows you to cook almost anything on it. The thick ceramic walls & draft doors permit you to sear steaks at high temp. (up to 750 degrees) or slow cook ribs at a low temperature of 200 to 250 degrees. Or if you're craving pizza or bread, the Big Green Egg bakes better than a brick oven. Here are a few ideas to make cooking with your Big Green Egg grill even more enjoyable:

Grilling

Most of the people are familiar with grilling, but just in case, grilling refers to cooking the food directly over coals at a moderate to high temperature. The Big Green Egg can go around 750F for searing steaks, or you can decrease the heat for slow cooking (mmm... ribs). Use the variable dampers at the bottom of the Egg along with the daisy wheel at the top for super temperature control for your favorite grilling recipe.

Smoking

When it comes to smoking, the Egg's thick ceramic walls are perfect insulation for cooking at long, low temperatures required to tenderize & smoke meats. When setting up your EGG for smoking, layer lump (wood) charcoal with your preferred wood smoking chips (we like grape). Add more charcoal, then more wood chips; repeat until the firebox is full. You can use either natural fire starters or an electric lighter to start the charcoal (do not use lighter fluid!). You are ready to begin cooking once the temperature has reached 250 degrees. One of the great things about the Egg is that with the ceramic material and the fact that you always cook with the lid down, you can allow your grill cook for very long time periods (even overnight) without worrying about flare-ups or overcooking your food. Think about adding the plate setter or the rib rack to make your smoking experience even better.

Baking

The Big Green Egg is known for its versatility and that is most noticeable when baking breads, dessert or pizza in your Egg. You can turn your Egg into fire brick oven just by the addition of a plate setter and baking stone (one of my favorite big Green Egg accessories). Eggheads love baking pizzas in their grills, thus you can find several pizza recipes at the Egghead forum. And Once you've tried a brick oven pizza in your Egg, trust me, you will never order pizza again!
