Those things are a trip. I watched a documentary on the cuddle fish and was blown away. It showed how little we know about oceanic life.

Possibly. Likely used just to start it rather than using lighter fluid. Starting a fire with lighter fluid and trying to smoke is a rookie mistake.




I'd say just the opposite.




Insulated with engineered ceramic. Easier to maintain temp, easier to reach higher temps, etc. people seem to love them, and I will wind up with one some day, I'm sure. I'm just a traditionalist, so I don't like the idea of it. There's a guy on our BBQ team that has one and swears by it.

How just the opposite? Isn't a smoker based solely on indirect heat? That egg looks like its pretty direct in heating.

why is the egg so great?

pretty much all of what bcoop mentioned, on top of a few other things.

It uses almost no charcoal. I can almost twice as many times with a single bag of lump compared to my old smoker/grill set up.

I have seen 4 figure temps, which for searing is pretty awesome. I usually sear my steaks around 800.

It will hold 225 for hours on end. You can smoke for 12hrs on a large without ever adding coal, and even longer with a extra large.

When you buy one you won't ever buy another one unless you just want to have two. My wife says she got her money out of the grill in the first year.

With the plate setter it is indirect heat. It will do both direct and indirect.

Opposite because they are used far more commonly as a smoker than as a grill. Yes, smokers are indirect heat. Not every smoker is offset though like a traditional offset is.

Pretty cool, I may have to look into one then. I have an offset and its just massive. Something more compact would suit me nicely
