My Egg’s smoking A** partner

[joel2000]

Mine takes about 6 mins to get to temp. (It even gives me a countdown timer showing how long until it reaches the preset temp.) I cook at the same temps as I do with my Kamado and my offset smoker. I can increase or decrease the smoke level nearly instantaneously as well as the temp. I don’t have to spritz any more than I do with any other smoker.

That’s the kinda info I’m after!
Thanks!

I’m looking at doin a 8lb butt tomorrow. On a Egg that’s anywhere from 10-12,13 hrs at 225ish... I would assume timing not gonna change but how long does it normally take for a pellet smoker to come to temp? I’m told they hold temp no fuss no muss... do you need to spritz more? Less? The same? An egg keeps the meat pretty damn moist but again... I’m in learning mode here so any advise is appreciated

You can do everything the same as you do on the egg. You just don’t need to mess with the temp. I usually set mine at 225deg for a butt and takes 10-15min to get to temp. I wrap it at 165 internal, then let it go to 205 internal, let rest for an hour in empty cooler.

Good idea on the tin foil on that stainless there! I’ll use that trick too.

Definitely makes cleanup easier. Also you need to vacuum out the ash every 4-5 long cooks.

Mine has a sliding plate under the ash container that I simply slide out and the ash falls into a cup below that I dump as needed. No vacuuming necessary.

One I got is the 590... everyone’s telling me that I’m gonna be spoiled cause you don’t have to “tend the fire” it does it for you. I’ve spent many a nights doing brisket and loosing sleep cause the “egg” loves company. Lol... can’t wait. Gonna throw a butt on it tomorrow!

Yep, you're spoiled now. You gonna love it.
