Brunswick Stew
I grew up in the south but never had Brunswick Stew in my life, so I have no idea why it struck me to make a few weeks ago. So I did a little digging on the forum and found a few threads to get me started. Finally settled on Southern Soul's recipe. This is just after everything is assembled and needs a few hours at a…

What Are You Chef-ing Tonight, Dr?
I think it's going to be leftovers for us; and I feel the urge to bake some professional cookies using a recipe derived from the scientific method. Posted by (I'd have to look) on my cookie thread. Tasty Beverage: Dr Pepper

Using pure roasted garlic spread in prime rib?
It's been a while since I have posted here. Always found folks here are both friendly and DEEPLY knowledgeable about all things eggy. I'm trying to up my Egging game on smoking prime rib for Christmas dinner. My fam has commented (i.e. complained) in previous years about the slivers of raw hard neck garlic I tucked inside…

Overloaded Paella this PM-
A quick back story: Paella was the cook of choice today. Asked the extended family (older son and wife with 3 granddaughters 2, 4, 6 yo), solo son and SWMBO what they would like: Below are the going-in groceries: Yep- a boat load of inputs: scallops, shrimp, sausage, chix, lots of veggies and garlic (no vampire action…

Addicted to my Billows
When I got my Thermoworks Billows for Christmas last year, I thought I would use it mainly for low and slow cooks. Now I use it for almost everything! It is so nice to set the temperature, light the BGE, close the lid, adjust the top vent and sit back and have a beer. It is superior at going to and holding the set…

Friday night and the EggHead Forum option of the forum choices is eerie quiet- I need to get a life!
The title says it all. Chasing the end of the not so endless summer comes to mind. Guilty here as no BGE cook rolling tonight and playing with live fire Saturday. Surely Friday night shenanigans are on the horizon. Edit for fat finger correction.

In search of recently departed forum heavy contributors
Have not seen any posts from @RRP, @lkapigian, @BeanHead or @dbCooper for awhile. Time to reengage. The pace of this place is around a constant so hopefully nothing serious on the other side. FWIW-

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day cooks
Haven't done whole turkey for a while, so I decided to do the good ol' Mad Max turkey, with some variations. Zero basting during the cook, I read somewhere that every time you baste you're soaking and steaming the skin, doesn't help with moister meat nor crispy skin. Rubbed skin with baking powder, came out crispy... The…

Chicken Stock from a 3-Star Michelin restaurant: 60 minutes, $6
This video was well worth posting in a separate thread: https://youtu.be/3k20zFlbFfE?si=Va9g6x09zQJorBEu Guy gave up on his Chemistry PhD, and got a job in an English restaurant called The Fat Duck, which subsequently was named the best restaurant in the world. The consommé that comes out of it is crystal-clear, and quite…

Broken ceramic damper
Ok. I've only had my LBGE for about a month and I'm loving it. But, last week while taking the cover off, something caught the ceramic damper and pulled it off. It fell onto the concrete and shattered into about a thousand pieces. So I'm thinking of just using the daisy wheel and closing the vents when shutting down. But…

Question on “recomended” IT on beef
Cooked a picanha (sp?) the other day and was told IT should be 125-130 for rare. i took it to 140-145 before pulling it, phone was out of range so didn’t get the alert for at least a half hour before I checked it. After wrapping and letting set for 30 mins or so, we cut into a very rare piece of beef. I enjoyed it, but my…

Butter Keepers - Let The Lottery Begin!!! Plus Room For One More
The butter keepers arrived today. My Uncle ended up sending 11 butter keepers in case one broke. They all made it intact so I have one extra at $60 + shipping.
