New Small Egg - question

SkinFan · July 2014

I am picking up my new small egg on Friday. My large was a demo egg and had been previously cooked on. I am wondering if I need to do any type of burn with the new egg before cooking food. Looking for any recommendations. Thank you in advance.

Most people recommend just going for a cook, no need to do a "pre-burn". They do recommend keeping the first few cooks under 400 so the gasket can set.

@SkinFan‌ I'd go with a L&S which will give a nice long burn time at a low temp that will for sure suffice for a good break in.

No break in needed. Go as hot or warm of a cook as you want. Enjoy.

@cookingdude555‌ come on work with me here. L&S B-)

@NPHuskerFL‌ - haha. Gaskets burn away pretty quick anyway, I say let it rip and have fun!

@cookingdude555‌ ya alright.

Definitely above all else have fun.

Is it to prevent you from burning up the gasket or to allow the adhesive to set?

NPHuskerFL · July 2014

@stevethegreat‌ allows adhesive to set.

@stevethegreat‌ the egg is kiln fired dried so it's not gonna cure anymore than it already is. The "break in" is just to set up the gasket seal adhesive. ;-)

That's what I was thinking, but now good to know. Always learning stuff on here. Thanks @NPHuskerFL‌

@stevethegreat‌ me to always learning. Figure by the time I'm done learning it'll be time for the dirt nap.
