    • @MarksChannel52
      @MarksChannel52 4 роки тому +1

      What do you mean by feeding the fire? IF you mean how do you increase the fire/temperature by letting in more air. The Egg has two restrictions at the top and bottom if you want to make it hotter just slide the bottom more open and leave a slight gap in the stop one.. As natural convection will happen and will increase the fire as you are letting in more air for the charcoal.

    I've been cooking on Kamado's for 30 years and I can tell you that you can use about 1/3'd of the charcoal that he put in there. It will get plenty hot and is much easier to control when you have the right amount of lump charcoal in there. He's trying to sell as much charcoal as he can and is misleading you. On the original clay ones that came from Japan in the 50's and 60's, they would tell you to count out just a handful of briquette's to cook with.

    way easier to use a Weber. I came because of commercial. But its just more work and prep and care than needed. I think the ignitor needs some work. Why would I want to worry about some external item being hot other than the grill around the kids. the wood starters is the safest way. Good luck got me to look so your commercial worked.

    • @AceHardware
      @AceHardware  5 років тому +8

      Hi TImmie,
      When you buy your new Big Green Egg, one of the suggested steps is to cook the first few times at temps not over 350 degrees. This not only allows the gaskets to properly set, but also helps in seasoning or breaking in your new Egg. Chef Jason, our Grill Expert, suggests you cook chicken or steaks the first couple times too, this allows you to learn the adjustments needed to control the temps between the bottom and top setting. Happy Cooking and congrats on your new Big Green Egg!
