Who Uses Your BGE?

The eggs are my domain and everyone likes it that way.  They think I am nuts but they get to benefit from the fact that I cook some kickass food.  Making lamb chops right now!!! Direct raised grid.

Just me. The wife has no interest.

I do the cooking in our household, inside or out. Mostly outside.

Mostly me, but I encourage anyone, who wants, to use it.  I usually delegate filling, lighting and grilling whenever people ask "Anything I can do to help?" (when a group of people are here).  Have some egger friends, but I'll throw a novice in the mix, with supervision.

You have learned to keep your guests busy, helping with the egging chores - we've all seen what happens when you did it all yourself allowing them to type "true" messages on your logged in computer, don't ask don't tell......

hahahah....indeed.  I totally blamed the wrong person too.  But the culprit fessed up.  That night had egging and a crawfish boil, accompanied by plenty of adult beverage.

Just me as well, but that was the same with the gasser. I cook outside, Mrs. TJ and I share inside, with the occasional inside cook by our son.

I am the only one who uses the egg and wife doesn't want know how at all. She didn't like cooking on our gas grill either. She does like me doing all the cooking now.

Just me but she feigns interest from time to time!

Yep, I am the only one at the Sugar Shack who uses the BGE.  However, whenever there's a party, people always come to my area of the yard where the EGGs are kept to check them out.

My wife has cooked on the egg once. She knows how to light it and get the temps stable. She wasn't comfortable with the gasser either. In general she isn't that comfortable cooking meat. She's getting better since we got the thermopen.

The egg is my toy but if she wants to use it she can. I couldn't have afforded it without her salary. My friends, now that's a different story. One friend has an egg so he gets to use it. The others haven't asked and I'd probably say no without coaching them. Mostly because when a non egger thinks charcoal they think lighter fluid.

Just me.  Occasionally I'd call a family member to adjust the vents when I'm away.

Just me as well, my wife loves the fact I enjoy cooking so much outdoors and she enjoys the meals, so its a win for everyone around our household.  I am in a BGE heavy neighborhood, so walking the dog can be quite entertaining trying to guess who is Eggin what?  My dog and I seem to both be drooling and walking most nights!

Currently I'm the sole user.  I'd love to have the GFU learn to fire it up, and set the temp, so it would be ready to roll when I get home after her.  She loves the weed torch, and has given it a try.  But she's cautious around the egg - probably not a bad thing.

I am the primary Egger in the family and smoker and q'er. The other half can work the egg/grill/open pit but prefers to come up with cook ideas and let me execute them.
When he does cook it is always delish.
Mainly I cook he does dishes...that is the winning combo for us.

I cook inside and on the Egg 99% of the time. Once a year MDSH cooks Cajun smoked turkeys for the family on Thanksgiving and that has only happened in the past 2 years. That old boy did learn a new trick. ;;)

I'm the only one that uses the Egg... however, my wife will fire up the Traeger wood pellet grill on her own. I think its because it takes a little more effort to get the egg fired up than the other option. She likes them both... especially since I do most of the work  3:-O

@mcmac‌ how do you like the pellet grill in comparison to the egg? I think I would've gotten one if I hadn't gotten the egg.

This past year my wife has started to light and use the Mini on her own and likes using it. Now that her eyebrows and bangs has grown back after the Large "incident" she still has no use for the Larges.

Me and me alone. SWMBO does the SS clock inside. I have full control of the eggs. We tag team a lot, she does something to go along with what I am doing, and it works real good for us. We both enjoy preparing meals.

eggLaTech

Just me. But I am sure, with some instruction, my wife would make adjustments for me.

They are pretty different as you may imagine, but we really like the pellet grill for its ease of use. Flip a switch and you have fire. Works very good for smoking but is no where near as versatile as the egg. While steaks turn out good, they take a long time to cook and you can't sear them.

With that said, I'm really glad to have both, but if I could only have one, I would choose the egg because it doesn't require as much maintenance (no moving parts or hot rod, fans etc) and you have more cooking options available.

These eggs are mine, if my wife wants to use an egg, she will need to get her own.

I'm the only user.  What I have found everyone is too scared to get near it.  They don't want to be the ones to damage it...and thats fine with me.  lol  EggOn!!
