cooking times & temps

Unknown

Just getting started and want to try simple stuff first. What are times and temps for burgers, brats, hotdogs, and steaks?? Thanks!

Welcome, why not take a minute and register to the forum.

First off make sure you watch the DVD there are some good recipes and information there and in the instruction manual.

Make sure you calibrate your dome thermometer and you are ready to go.

There are a lot of different ways to cook the above items. Burgers, brats, hotdogs and steaks can all be coked at 350° to 400°. Some of this will depend on how high the lump is in the egg and how well the lump is burning.

You will find cooking to food temperature will give you much better results than trying to cook to time.

When you light your egg begin to close the vents down before reaching the desired cook temperature. It is hard to bring the temperature down with all the ceramics (this is a good thing).

You might find the following links helpful.

Some thoughts and illustrations on vent settings.

So what you are saying is it is easier to raise the temp than to lower it if the vents are closed before the desired cooking temp. Right ? Thanks for that info.
