You can cook it pretty much the same as you would in the WSM.  Ask him 
if he got a plate setter for his Egg, it is used as a barrier for 
indirect cooking, if not, you will need to use a drip pan with a rack to 
hold the meat.  Fill the lump to halfway up into the fire ring and try 
to keep the dome temp at 250 which will give you a grid temp of about 
225. Approximate settings for the vents will be bottom vent 1/8" open 
and the small petals on the daisy open.  -RP
