Big Green Egg vs. Natural Gas Grill

Your Big Green Egg / Kamado-style grill is not just for low and slow cooking. Take advantage of your investment to grill. I can tell you it is almost as fast as a natural gas grill (and I think it tastes better).  

I Grilled up bratwurst for my son and me on the BGE and ran a little test. I started our natural gas built-in grill while I started the coals to compare start-up times. (Pics)

My wife typically cooks on the natural gas grill and adds the food when the dome temperature is in the High range. The Gas grill and the BGE were at temperature for adding food at approximately 18 minutes. 

The total cook time for the bratwurst from Grill blazer to hot off the grill was 33:03:82. With the outside temps at 28 degrees, a bit of wind, but thankfully sunny.
