1. Smoked Pork Butt
Courtesy of TikTakJak, this smoked pork butt recipe cooks low and slow for several hours in your Big Green Egg, infusing each morsel of meat with tons of premium flavor. The key is letting it rest for an hour before serving. Once you unwrap the pork butt, you’ll find fork-tender meat that all of your guests are sure to love.
@thekitchenwhisperer Part (4/5) 🔥 So when I make pizzas on the @biggreenegg I let it heat up to about 550-600°F for about an hour. I put the convEGGtor in, legs up, followed by a rack and a pizza stone. The biggest mistake folks make when making pizzas on the egg is not shooting (taking the temp) of the stone. That’s the most important thing. In my traditional wood-fired pizza ovens I cook at about 850-900°. Now the Egg can get to 700° but you need to make sure the vents are all the way open and you have air flow. I highly recommend before you try this, clean out the egg and ensure all ash is removed. To launch the pizza, simply place the top of the paddle tip on the stone and jerk the pizza from the launcher to the stone in one quick motion. This will take practice. But you got this!

2. Big Green Egg Pizza
This Big Green Egg pizza is a new spin on your classic crowd-pleasing food. TheKitchenWhisperer uses the convEGGtor to give each tasty pie those excellent grill marks and heats them at about 600 degrees for one hour. I love this recipe because you can customize the pizzas any way you like, and they’re a great way to use up our leftovers.
@jules_cooking Beautiful smoked pork belly 🔥 I always get a lot of questions why I use my big green egg indoors and often people find it dangerous. Well if I had a normal kitchen this would indeed be the case, but with my professional ventilation system you can easily barbecue inside just like in a professional kitchen 🙏🏼 I really appreciate your concern guys, but it’s totally safe and very delicious. Perfect for a rainy day and this pork belly recipe is perfect for the upcoming cold days 🙌🏼 Find a full tutorial on my YouTube channel “Jules Cooking” Link in my bio #julescooking #recipe #porkbelly #bbq #biggreenegg ♬ September (Dreamy Version) – JU$t
3. Smoked Pork Belly

4. Shrimp and Bacon Jalapeno Poppers
We all know the joy a plate of poppers can bring to the barbecue, but this rendition from TheBBQBuddha is something extra special. Start with some fiery jalapenos, add a mixture of cream and shredded cheese, then pop a juicy shrimp right in the middle and wrap the whole thing with some bacon. The outside is crisp, and the inside is creamy and full of delicious shrimp flavor.
@grillinwithdad Smoked French dip sandwiches. This might be my new favorite sandwich recipe. I used a boneless ribeye roast, smoked it on the @biggreenegg over my Dutch oven filled with onions, mushrooms, butter, stock, and fresh herbs. When it hit 120 internal, remove everything from the grill and let it rest. For the bread I used @turanobread French rolls and provolone cheese. Slice up the roast, pile it high on the bread and top it off with the mushrooms and onions. Use the strained broth for dipping. These were smokey, tender, cheesy and packed full of flavor. Super easy to make and they turned out delicious. #grillinwithdad #frenchdip #sandwich #grilled #easyrecipes ♬ original sound – Grillin With Dad
5. Smoked French Dip Sandwiches
GrillinWithDad’s take on the French Dip sammie is a great way to give your next barbecue a unique spin while celebrating all the flavors your guests will love. Cook your ribeye roast with mushrooms, onions, butter, stock, and herbs in the Big Green Egg’s Dutch oven, then thinly slice and place on French rolls with some melty provolone cheese. The leftover sauce makes an ideal dip.

In this video, you’ll learn how to grill two portions of wings, topping one with butter, salt, garlic, and parmesan cheese and the other with butter, lemon zest, and pepper.

17. Strawberry Jalapeno Ribs
There are ribs, and then there are next-level ribs, like this version from PS Seasoning. Strawberries and jalapenos might seem unorthodox, but they work with rich meat, tartness from the strawberries, and spice from the jalapenos. A cup of candied jalapeno wing sauce gives them a glossy glaze and even more flavor to savor.
