We found out our oven wasn't working this evening and my wife really wanted bigos for dinner. Given that it's mostly about cooking pork and other fun stuff in a pot at 250F for 4 hours, we decided to fire up the green egg.

We didn't really follow a recipe, just chopped up pork, beets, potatoes, a head of cabbage, and an onion, added salt, and dumped it all in a pot. I got the grill up to temperature with the indirect heat plate installed and then just moved the pot onto the grill. Aside from stirring it a few times, I left it covered.

It was amazing. I have no idea what kind of vile tricks our oven used to fool us into thinking it can cook things properly, but the food stayed moist and developed a nice broth instead of charring onto the bottom of the pot like it usually does. That means that instead of chiseling sludge out of the pot, we had watermelon and relaxed on the patio!

I actually left the pot on the grill for a half hour longer than necessary because my wife hadn't gotten back yet and it still came out perfectly.

I can't wait to try other recipes like it. 10/10, would recommend.
