XXL!

XXL

Got a XXL a couple weeks ago and we've been experimenting with it.

So far, we've cooked 70 lbs of USDA Prime boneless ribeye, 65 lbs of beef ribs (before and after), and pork shoulder.

Absolutely loving it!

Congrats on the XXL.  Great looking cooks, do you have any other Eggs?

 I just picked up a prime rib roast myself yesterday, $225...wow with the beef prices nowadays.

That is a lot of meat, but that is why you bought it. Great looking cook!

How many shoulders will it hold?

Thanks for all the kind words.

Don't have any other eggs - this is our first. 

We had 8 shoulders on at the same time, but I think it can hold more

I will keep on posting pics as we make more food.  It has been so much fun so far... we're using it 2-3 times per week right now.

BTW... in case folks don't know... the absolute best place we have found to buy USDA prime boneless ribeye is at COSTCO.  Buying it by the case is slightly cheaper (85 lbs or so)... but if you buy it uncut, it can be bought for a very reasonable (for prime) $12/lb

Is this a restaurant Egg?  Looks like it's possibly being used indoors as well?  Can you elaborate on this?

Thanks for the pics!

This is not a restaurant Egg.  It is a powerplant Egg . I bought it for all of our great employees for all their hard work.

We're not really using it "indoors" per se.  We have a gorgeous deck with big barn doors which make the indoors "outdoors"

Right now, we have 70 folks to feed, and we're experimenting with all the good stuff

Good stuff man!  Quite the management team you have.  I'm sure your staff feels very appreciated.

That's it? Why? No big gatherings to justify it I would assume.

badinfluence

@NPHuskerFL‌ no real big.partys at my house only away so I take the monster as I'm not going to try and move the xxl and risk breaking it. And Frigging work has really kept me busy this year more then usual. Hope to slow down soon.

NPHuskerFL

@badinfluence‌ cool. Hope to see a most epic cook on your XXL. Perhaps sushi )

Can one man handle the plate setter and how much lump did u go thru on a long cook.

Terrebandit

One of your cooks would make me broke! Have fun.

hapster

Way to kick things off with a bang
@XXL‌
That's the way to take care of the people that do the heavy lifting for you.

Well played

XXL

Yes, one person can handle the plate.

We have gone through about 60 lbs of the lump charcoal on five 8-12 hour cooks. That has worked out to be about ~300 lbs of meat

We're going to do baby back ribs next.  I will surely take some pictures to share.

Lump usage not as bad as I thought.thanks for info.

mcmac

Wow... you have so much meat on there it makes that beast look like a large!! Never thought I'd see the XXL look average in size. I agree with the rest of the team in regards to you taking care of the team. Nice Job.
