are big ceramic grills like this a meme?
Yogar effek!(Translation: "Yogurt effect!")
>>22015847No, but they will produce a different smoke flavor than an offset.It does everything pretty well, excels at some things, and is really convenient to use.
>>22015847They have been a meme for 15 years. So cool that 4chan is on the tip of the cultural spear. They bake with fire chips.
>>22015847they're really good actually. like a grill and an oven into one. They really shine for long cooking time, stuff like brisket and ribs not so much for grilling burgers and hotdogs.
>>22015847I know someone who had a Big Green Egg and they said it didn't work for shit but they're also a huge retard so I wouldn't take that at face value.
>>22015870They're dead simple once you get the feel for them. Far easier and minimal babysitting compared to an offset.
>>22015856did you get banned
>>22015874Yeah, because you're baking, not smoking or grilling. I don't think green eggs are without purpose. I think they make excellent brisket or pork shoulders. But they aren't a grill. They are a wood chip baking solution. Which the North American Indians had a few solutions for.
>>22015877Absolutely nuked lol
>>22015897You can use them with direct or indirect heat, and position the grills lower, so they are closer to the fire. You aren't burning sticks like an offset, but you can add wood chunks on top of your charcoal and absolutely give meat good smoke flavor. The difference aside from burning sticks is that offsets have very high airflow compared to eggs, which also produces a different smoke quality.Your silly definition means all cabinet smokers are also wood chip baking solutions and not smokers.
>>22015847I do not care for saying "BBQ", it makes me think of cheap african american mealsI prefer barbeque
>>22015916No, a shitty smoker with no real insulation just smokes. You pay 500 more dollars for the insulation of the green egg. It's a baker.
>>22015910:D
>>22015924>any insulation means your smoker is just an oven even if it imparts smoke flavor on meat, produces a smoke ring, and does literally everything a REAL smoker does.Okay, bro. Have fun with your weird opinion, I guess..
>>22015918mutts law
>>22015918funny because "barbecue" is an obviously nonwhite wordjust say grill
>>22015918Thats why all your food sucks
>>22015858>No, but they will produce a different smoke flavor than an offset.Pretentious hipster bullshit. Smoke is smoke. Pretending you could ever taste the difference between direct smoke, pellet smoke, and offset smoke means you're completely full of shit. OP, they're a decent cooker, but they are hipster tier levels of prep and work to get right. Quagmire's skit on them isn't inaccurate.
