To light, I recommend a charcoal chimney. You'll never go back any other way.

I use the minion method. Also, if I am doing a long cook, I will completely clean out the BGE and take the time to stack the charcoal right with the biggest pieces at the bottom.
Chimneys are hard for me with a BGE since you have to dump it down so deep. I always get burned. I get the strike-a-fire starters and they work fantastic. They are the same as the BGE starters.

How the meat turn out?  ? |
35-40 mins sounds like a long time. are you talking about stabilizing for a long cook or just firing it u for everyday cooking?

Thinking of doing steaks next, and possibly a prime rib around Christmas, but I'm sure there will be plenty cooked between now and XMas, lol.

OH YEAH!!! Congrats on the first cook. Looks like it went very well. wait until you put the plate setter on and cook a pizza on a stone.
