Can I smoke a pheasant in the Big Green Egg. I'm told that the lowest temp than I could sustain for any period is between 225 and 240 degrees, which I suspect is too high for smoking.

    g kelly,
    you are talking about cold smoking.[p]some have done it here, but it's hard to do. ice, automatic fans, etc.[p]easiest way would be to use the egg as a firebox, attach dryer hose to it and vent that into a cardboard box allowing the smoke to cool on the way. really gotta cool it for true cold-smoking.[p]

    I’ve tried pheasant several times and it is veeeery hard to keep the bird from drying out. The best luck I had was to cook it indirect at 225 bacon wrapped. Tasted great and was very moist throughout. Have to really watch the drumsticks or they cook to fast. Good luck.

    g kelly,
    There was a pretty nice setup posted a few months back using the egg as the firebox and routing a dryer vent down to a styrofoam cooler. I tried to search archives but didn't come across the picture. I think this type of setup is your best bet for less than 200.

    g kelly,
    I was able to slow cook some ribs for 6-7 hours at 150 degrees as one of my first BGE cooks! It is very possible and the smoke cooked them through! I think a pheasent would be about the same![p]Let's All RAISE the BAR - B - Q!
