Last Christmas, I cooked the turkey on the Big Green Egg and it was voted by all our family and friends as the best ever.\u00a0On the evening when the Big Green Egg bus pulled into town, we enjoyed brisket on the bone and beef short ribs, but for the first time ever, we cooked dessert on the egg. Grilled pineapple, grilled kiwi and grilled orange. I can&#8217;t recommend this enough!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jameswhelanbutchers.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/big_green_egg2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-4458\" title=\"The Big Green Egg Double Decker Rolls into Clonmel\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jameswhelanbutchers.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/big_green_egg2.jpg\" alt=\"The Big Green Egg Double Decker Rolls into Clonmel\" width=\"300\" height=\"208\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You have to be prepared to wait as the cooking method is low and slow, about 9 hours for brisket on the bone, but the result is amazing and the subsequent meals, truly memorable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jameswhelanbutchers.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/big_green_egg3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4459\" style=\"border-style: initial; border-color: initial; cursor: default; float: left; border-width: 0px;\" title=\"9 Hour Slow Cooked Brisket on the Bone \" src=\"https:\/\/www.jameswhelanbutchers.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/big_green_egg3-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"9 Hour Slow Cooked Brisket on the Bone \" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jameswhelanbutchers.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/big_green_egg3-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.jameswhelanbutchers.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/big_green_egg3-374x500.jpg 374w, https:\/\/www.jameswhelanbutchers.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/big_green_egg3.jpg 734w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I attach a link to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adamperrylang.com\/\">Adam Perry Lang&#8217;s website<\/a> and to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biggreenegg.co.uk\/use\/recipe-videos\/low-and-slow-pork-shoulder\">the Big Green Egg website<\/a> which are great resources for learning about this truly magnificent cooker.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you enjoyed reading this post by Pat Whelan of James Whelan Butchers.
