Just finished a batch of ABTs made with shrimp.... WOW. Damn those things are good. I think I have sold 3 BGEs for my local dealer after cooking these for guests.
What is the one thing (recipe) you would cook to convince someone to buy an Egg ??

    Memphis,[p]I went mower shopping for Tammy. They had a BGE out there and getting ready to put ribs on. They invited me back for lunch. Best dang ribs I ever had at that time. A lot better now.
    Load up the BGE and forget the mower.[p]She got her Z-Track later that day.[p]Mike

    <p />Memphis,[p]After ABTs and prime rib (and pulled pork which I don't think has been mentioned yet), I'd have to chime in for chicken wings. There's so many different ways to do them: marinated, breaded, BBQ'd, cut apart, grilled together, ...[p]I've got 4 lb in the fridge right now just waiting for this weekend![p]Oh, I didn't have a picture handy of my wings (gotta fix that!) so here's a pic of stuffed, rolled pork tenderloin..[p]Chuck

    mad max beyond eggdome,[p]I agree 100%! We had a couple of TREXed NY Strips tonight. It is so nice to have a half dozen more in the FoodSavered in the freezer. These tonight were monsters. Better than a steakhouse and much cheaper. I think these cost $5.50 each and weighted ~16 ounces. The best part about having an egged steak is of you want it medium-rare, you actually get it medium-rare. I'll stop rambling now and vote TREX to impress.[p]Steve-B

    Memphis,[p]My buddy has an egg and tried to convince me to get one for years... it was his wings that convinced me... but after trying a TREX... I think I would go with that... then again the Thanksgiving bird wasn't bad, or the spatchcock chicken and then theres the .... oh well you get the point.

    Ribs, definitely ribs! The Egg does ribs better than any other cooker I know. [p]Brett

    Memphis, you have my curiosity now; shrimp ABTs is one version I have not tried. My vote would be for Spatchcocked chicken...several reasons. Everyone knows what a grilled or baked chicken taste like and a spatchcoked chiken on the Egg is so radically different, so much more moist. Also, poultry always absorbs a lot of smoke, gives it a very distinctive taste.just my 02 cents. Thanks for mentioning the shrimp !

    The Virginian,Ah yes, the ribs. I talked about and pined for an egg for two years and wifey thought I was crazy. Went to a neighbors house (the guys who posts here as Freak) for ribs and that was it. Wifey wanted me to have an egg just so I could cook her ribs - pretty cool. We went out and got the large a few adys later and two years later... the rest is history as they say. Joe[p]

    I have found from experience that knowledgable, experienced pitmasters are impressed with the high temperatures achieved with the egg. They really like the T rexed steaks and have never tasted better pizza. Or so they tell me! [p]Doug[p]

    Memphis,[p]Anything! But the real closers are pork ribs, steaks, spatchcock chicken or roasted turkey. ABT's are a wonderful thing, and pizza are incredible. Advanced culinary creations simply blow people away.[p]If your prospective BGE recruit has never experienced pulled pork while it is hot and as it is being pulled, I am pretty sure it will be a religious experience for them. They're buyin' after that... I'll bet I have sold at least a dozen over the last year and a half.[p]-Tom

    Anything on a BGE to me is better than anything made on a gasser. Other charcoal cookers may be different. My favorites to impress friends are T-Rex steaks and pulled pork or ribs. See-Yaa

    for me its the trex (steak lamb and chops), the spatchcocked chicken and the pulled pork, but the thing that impressed the most people at one time was a smoked gumbo poured over biscuits for breakfast on an ice fishing trip.

    Memphis,[p]Not nescessarily my favorite, but what gets the biggest reaction from the crowd - my variation of Mr. Toad's Pork Loin. I get oohs and aahs every time and never have any left over.
