Very helpful for a first time user. One thing I can add is that if you're using a shared green egg - pull the ashes out of the bottom flue with a grill cleaner (into a bucket) if your coals are not lighting well or if the grill has old charcoal in it.
Dude... you're the man! Excellent video. Thorough explanation. First time using our Green Egg. You answered all my questions. Will watch more of your videos. Thank you!
just a quick tip, if you put the big green egg logo on the daisy wheel to the rear of the cooker you don't have to reset it every time the lid is opened
another thing I don't do is arrange the lump. I just dump it in, level it out, and start the fire using a propane trash burner torch. I can have it up and running in less than ten minutes and never have a problem with hot spots. Chef Jerry, using my Big Green Egg for the past 14 years
that only time I ever use my daisy wheel is when I want to keep the temp around 250 degrees for long slow cooking. Other than that, keep the top open and use the bottom vent to control heat.
Malcolm, I do it almost the same way in my Kamado Joe. I only wait about 10 min until I close the lid so I don’t wait as long as you but that may be slowing me down. I use the wax Webber starters since they are 1/4 the price of those style which I have used in the past.
You should do one of these tutorials for offset smoker. I’m curious how long it takes to get fire going and how much maintenance required to keep low and slow fire going. Thanks!
+Paul Jordan Ha! It's certainly possible. I'm a bit of a musician so I downloaded an mp3 of the audio, imported it into my recording platform and slapped an analyzer on it. On the spectrum analyzer there's a peak at about 15.7KHz. On the frequency equalization curve, depending on the playback location, it's a little peaky and has some constancy to it compared to other frequencies. Overall the frequencies are truncated at around 16.3KHz. When listening through my recording platform with reference speakers ... only when boosting the volume well over 0db (I went as high as +12db) ... can I hear a high pitched noise ... and then only at certain locations in playback. At volume levels below 0db playback was normal and without any artifacts.
+Paul Jordan It means I can find a suspect frequency that produces a high pitched tone ... that I can't hear at normal or even loud (0db aka clipping aka highest volume before signal distortion starts) volume levels ... but that I can hear (in some of the audio stream) when I turn up the volume until my speakers explode. Other people are now reporting the sound on other videos by Malcom ... and they all sound fine to me at 0db or less listening levels ... so I'm wondering if there may be some system specific reason ... such as the codec or the player ... or whatever.
one more tip for you BGE owners. To make is easy to watch the temp, turn the temp guage so the desired temp is straight up. That way all you have to do is look at the Egg guage from any distance and if the needle it straight up, your desired temp is showing.
I just build a small wood fire in mine. When it's glowing red coal and reduced to 250 add meat n close. Once it hits 165, remove meat to side, add more hot coals from hand held chimney srarter close lid. The reason I start w wood fire is it always adds flavor to the raw meat best.
Hi Malcom, quick question, is it bad to try and light with a torch? I was also wondering if its bad to have a green egg under a pergola? Mainly concerned about carbon monoxide
Not mentioned in the video but something to know, you should wait for the "bad smoke" to clear before putting your food on, especially when all of your lump is fresh out of the bag.
What I like most about your channel is, I can tell you’re a good dude. Down to the heart! Bless you man! Keep smokin!!!!
Good video my man. First time green egger and this was as straight forward as it gets

Excellent video! No unnecessary blah blah, straight to the point and well spoken.
Super helpful, thanks so much!!
Happy Fourth, Malcolm. Appreciate your wisdom man 🤘
Thanks for the video. Your technique worked perfectly the first time I tried it in my new Egg.
Malcolm, you are my favorite BBQ guy on RUclips. I really enjoy the way you explain the content of your videos. Good job.
Good video. In the past I used the weber starter cubes but now I just hit it for about 30 seconds with a propane torch.
That, and the wood burner. Quick clean and easy.

Just bought my green egg. Works perfectly. Thanks again.
Thanks Malcolm! I just got a my Big Green Egg last night, and this really helped me get started.
This fella is dynamite. Love him

At last a good easy to follow vid Cheers
great vid! thanks brother!
Thanks, helped me a ton. New egg today and this video helped me
Thanks Malcom. Nice video man! Simple, clear, no BS.
I am practicing on a MiniMax...baltimora pit beef tomorrow as first recipe.
Great info! I also use a slice of fireplace fire starter you can buy cheaply in any grocery store .
Thanks. Good video. Lighting mine for first time right now.
Great job man thank you!
Thank you for this !

You're the Man Malcom
I put my fire lighter right at the bottom under the grid...insert it through the vent hole. Works perfectly.
What size egg do you have? Thank Malcolm, love your videos
Awesome video

Hi Malcom what do you like better BGE or Yoder?
Thank you!
Awesome thanks, in the future I'd like to own something similar. Great videos. 👍
excellent bro thank you 👊🏼
Your microphone might be broken, I'm hearing a constant high pitched noise.
+Paul Jordan
The audio sounds fine ... ya must have somethin' else goin' on.
How old are you? My dad didn't hear it (he's 48) but my buddies (all ~15) did hear it.
You can't hear high frequencies when you're older.

I have no idea what all of that means, but yeah there is a noise. Haha.

well done love your channel
Hey Malcolm. Love the videos. What size egg is the one in the video?
another great how-to Malcom thanks!
Excellent video! Thank you!

Jerry Hubbard no because you can fuck up the calibration when you start twisting the dial.... you idiot
Can you or do you recommend adding wood chunks?
Great video. Happy cookin

What size big green egg does malcom have?
Good job. Thanks!
How much outside air (wind) coming in should there be?
Good video. Thanks!
Hi Malcom, quick question, is it bad to try and light with a torch? I was also wondering if its bad to have a green egg under a pergola? Mainly concerned about carbon monoxide
Awesome and so informative! Thank you!
Would you use the same method for high temperature cooking in the egg? Thanks
Yes, he explains it use the vents
Very helpful.
If smoke is coming out of the sides does that mean its not sealing correctly?
You the man! Thanks!
What size is your egg?
That was very helpful 👍🏽thanks
How's a about using briquettes in these?
What size is your Egg L or XL?
Not mentioned in the video but something to know, you should wait for the "bad smoke" to clear before putting your food on, especially when all of your lump is fresh out of the bag.
I start briquettes in a chimney, then put the started briquettes into the bed of lump.
what size egg is this
Is it okay to take a single lump of coal, wet it with lighter fluid outside of the egg, put it on top the coal pile and light it?
That's an XL if anyone's wondering
Why is thear a high pitch sound it's driving me crazy I can't watch the video
Grrrrreat video
Is that a extra large green egg
I can start my egg with an app on my phone! Check out the video: ruclips.net/video/60zBdc9jnks/видео.html
Where do you get your charcoal? It's $170 on Amazon for a 20lb bag
How come egg is so expensive??
Because it’s worth every penny
miserable audio w that noise
ﻻيك شرح رائع مافيه تمطيط
??????? English, please.
I can't watch this video, that high pitch noise makes my head hurt
Glad I'm not the only one. I don't think most people can hear it.
Weird, a few people have commented on it. I don't hear it, but I'm an old man.
but mine hasn't had a good meal yet not worth the money using it as target practice less than a month old
Just look for ShepherdSurvives page. You will find there the best survival instructions.
