Greetings from New Mexico![p]I just purchased my first Egg -- a medium -- after thinking about it for several years. After setting it up, with the help of some strong young men, I cooked my first meal: turkey burgers.[p]A few hours before cooking them I fired up the Egg to see how it worked. No problems. I went right up to 700 deg., then I brought it back down to about 300. When I was ready to cook, I brought it back up to 450 and cooked the burgers. Even though I was running low on charcoal, they were fantastic![p]I want to thank all of you in the forum for the tips you have posted, since they were instrumental in my being successful right away. They really made a difference.[p]I have discovered two things: if I use the clip on the thermometer to hold the face 1" from the dome, there is no warping or condensation. Also, I found a product named "Fire Starter" that is an alcohol-based gel (like Sterno) to light the charcoal. No smell, works great.[p]Jim
