Getting Started With Your Big Green Egg and First Cook

---

Now that you brought your Big Green Egg home, now what? What was all the talk about burping the egg?  How do I light this thing up?  No fear, Chef Jason is here! Ace's Grill Expert will walk you through what you need to know to get started with the grill. When it comes to heating up your egg, it's a breeze with the right accessories.  There are a lot of options.  My favorites is using the Looftlighter with lump charcoal.  Avoid using starter fluid, let this ceramic grill heat up naturally. When it comes to controlling temperature it's all about controlling with the regulator and the flaps.  Sustaining the fire is key with low and slow cooking.   Make sure you understand burping with your Big Green Egg. A great first cook on the Big Green Egg is Steaks and Pork Chops.  You can get acclimated on how the fire works, grilling space, reading temperature are all easy with steaks and chops.
