Before you light the first fire in your Big Green Egg,  make sure the ceramic parts inside are arranged correctly.

Even your dealer may not really know what this means.

The “Egg” is an extremely efficient and effective convection oven. But, to get the right convection effect, you need to understand just how this happens.

There are only two primary ceramic components inside of the Egg , the Fire Box and the Fire Ring. You need to align them correctly to get the best convection effect for your cooks.

    I like the different configurations you showed in your image. I’m looking forward to summer and plan to get really good at outdoor cooking. It’s nice that the Big Green Egg is great at maintaining heat.
