Hi Egg-heads,
I have got two weeks to play on my Large BGE. Wife has gone to visit her Grandparents to show off our eight month old baby girl. So far I am going to cook steak tonight using the recipe off "The Naked Whiz website" T-rex. Sunday planning on cooking ribs. Past that I don't know would like to grill some Beef or shrimp Kabobs maybe both. Wife doesn't like lamb so I am open for ideas on that too. [p]Give me some suggestions please. I will cook burgers when she gets back. Would like to try cooking a whole chicken on a vertical roaster-- need advice about set-up etc.[p]Egg-cited to read all the responses and appreciate the advice. Thanks in advance!!![p]Regards, Pharmeggist

    <p />Pharmeggist,
    Try the beer can chicken, hot wings, ABTs, pork chops, pizza, and a 8 lb butt. That will wrap up Monday, after that your on your own;)
    Do the chicken at 350 to 375 indirect for about 1.25 to 1.5 hours until the breast is 180 and the legs feel like they will pull off.

    <p />Pharmeggist,
    Or you can go with the pork butt over the top of a brisket flat. That should wrap up Tuesday and Wednesday.
