SMOKING The Big Green Egg is ideal for smoking products and dishes. The characteristic fragrance and subtle taste of warm smoked dishes will pleasantly surprise you and your guests. We recommend using the convEGGtor when smoking foods with the Big Green Egg. The description below applies to all models. Fire up the EGG, as described in the chapter ‘Getting started’, without the convEGGtor, to a temperature between 100°C and 150°C.
BAKING To bake bread and pizzas, set up the Big Green Egg as follows: Place the convEGGtor on the fire ring with the legs pointing upwards. It’s a good idea to place a Drip Pan with a layer of water in it on top of this (this helps the bread to rise on the Flat Baking Stone). Place the stainless steel grid in the EGG and place the Flat Baking Stone on top.
