Am I doing something wrong? It is taking forever to start my BGE. How long is the standard time for BGE to heat to 700 for steaks? I use the starter (fire lites from BGE) and BGE natural charcoal and I have the top open and the bottom vent opened too?????? Thanks

    Jan Pappas,
    Hi,
    You might give the forum a little more information, are you new to the egg, have you had the egg at high temps. before and are now having trouble getting it to high temps??? It's hard to help without some background on what is going on.[p]If the egg is new, do you have the fire box cutout lined up with the vent opening??? If you have used the egg before are you sure the fire grate holes are not plugged??? Do you have enough lump for fuel to get to high temps.???[p] Do you know about the flashback???
