Hey guys.
I finally have my egg coming Saturday.
I got all kinds of questions.
1. I know for first 5-6 hrs keep it below 500 degrees to break it in.
2. So I figured try ribs. Somewhat cheap and somewhat straight forward I’m thinking.
3. So I load up my egg with charcoal. I have those firer starters from big green egg. They gave them toe. Toss 1 in the middle. light it. Close the lid. And wait to get to temp.
4. How much wood chunk do I add?
5. How often will I need to add wood for smoke?
6. I know this is preference but Do I keep smoke on the ribs the whole time or let the wood burn out and stop adding if so.
7. Temp control. I have watched videos but can I get u all time give me some pointers on heat control from heat up to maintaining with the top and bottom adjustment.
8. Anything else I need to know for now?
9. Do u guys use the drip pans below grate on the indirect insert for ur eggs or Komodo joes?
10. About how long will it take to smoke 1-2 racks of baby backs or regular ribs? I know both will diff. Just trying to get an idea so I know what to shoot for.
Thanks
Jim
