Cooks an used egg better than a new one ?

Hello to all,
I´ve got a question.
Cookes an old, often used and “seasoned” egg tastier food than a new one ?
I know that effect from the offset metal pits. There is a quite long process to season the “metal” inside of the pit. Some harcore smokers says, an offset metal pit produces better food, with every cook you do, due to the seasoning of every smoke…
Is there any comparable seasoning process with the eggs ?
Is a new egg really ready to cook very good food with very good result - right out of the packaging box ?
I ask this, because I will compete with my team at the World BBQ Championships in Gronau / Germany, and perhaps I will have there a absolute new egg. Any troubles with this, or is my used one, which was used for many, many cooks way to go ?
Thanks !

EggSimon,
No seasoning is needed in any way. I have bought 4 new eggs and started cooking GREAT food right out of the box, although they were assembled when I got them.
Temp control is simple but some new eggers have a little trouble at first. Just make small adjustments with the top and bottom draft openings and give the egg some time to adjust in tempature you will be fine.
Good Luck,

The only problem I see is that the judges may not have had egged food yet and aren't quite sure what perfection tastes like. :laugh:
You won't be handicapped one bit with a new egg. Good luck! -
That sure could be a problem. :laugh:

Great food right of the box...not to worry. Good luck...

I have 2 large eggs that react differently with vent settings and coming to temp (1 will maintain 180 the other nothing less than 225} so for a serious competition I would stay with the one your familiar with. No difference in the taste of the food but there is something to be said for the comfort zone of the tools.

good observation, but wonder where it is a competition if he will use a stoker or something....

I would just be concerned about an ill fitting dome or firering etc,,,, as rare as that might be but for a world championship I personally would haul the equipment I'm familiar with and bring the new egg home :laugh:
