Stephen's Smart Smoking Setup
- Stephen Colbert shares his experience using the Big Green Egg and Egg Genius fan for smoking meats.
- He describes how the fan connects to Wi-Fi and maintains precise temperature control for perfect smoking results.
Tips for Effective Smoking
- Use all-natural lump charcoal, shaped like wood, instead of briquettes with chemicals for smoking meats.
- Place coals to one side and a water pan on the cool side for moisture and indirect cooking on a Weber grill.
Design Philosophy of Late Show Set
- The Late Show set was designed to occupy the large Ed Sullivan Theater space like a theater rather than compress it.
- Adding a second floor on both sides restored the beautiful, spacious Broadway theater feel rather than making it intimate like other late-night sets.
