The BGE is a ceramic cooker that uses lump charcoal. It can bake bread, bake a pizza, cook a brisket or pork shoulder for a half a day or better, smoke jerky in it and achieve high heat and grill a steak like you would get in the best steakhouses. You can even cold smoke cheese in one. I’ve cooked for about 20 hours at 235 degrees and a few minutes at around 800 degrees. Becareful…if your cooking over 400 degrees or so open the lid slowly otherwise you will get an oxygen blast and your eyebrows will be fried. Done that once or twice. It seems almost impossible to dry anything out in a ceramic cooker. At least i haven’t yet.

I read everything i could find on ceramic cookers before i bought my first egg. Just like i read everythind i could find on this method of dry aging steaks before i bought into it.

Now i’m happy cooking dry aged steaks on a ceramic cooker. Just my opinon, I like it.
