The nice man from Dayton Airfreight just rolled my Egg into the garage! I'm watching the DVD right now! (The female voice is driving me crazy :) ). I might put the nest together tonight and then tackle the rest tomorrow.[p]i wasn't sure what I was getting but I ended up with the Large Egg, Nest, Egg Mates, Grid lifter, ash rod, a package of starter cubes and a bag of charcoal! All I need is a platesetter, drip pans, pizza stone, adjustable rig, MAPP torch... :)[p]I called Main Street Fireplace (the closest dealer) and they put all of their Egg stuff into storage until spring. Apparently there is a BBQ season. Who knew? Anyway, he is going to look in storage for me in the morning to see if they have a plate setter. If now I can take a ride one day next week to another dealer to get one.[p]...ron (Assemblin' In The Suburbs!)

    Ron_L,
    Take WessB's advice. No more restaurants for food you can cook on the egg. maybe Sushi. Haha. Welcome to the club. Take lots of pics!.

    Ron_L,I can feel your enthusiasm all the way out here in Oregon. Let me suggest that on your first few cooks you keep the temp in the 350 degree area. When you get to 650 degrees plus PLEASE be careful to burp your egg. I forgot, just once, and lost my eyebrows and some of what's left of my hair. That won't happen again. In the meantime you will be having a grand experience making every day a replay of Thanksgiving! Welcome to eggdom.

    Dr. Jim,
    LOL..I beg to differ..it will happen again....we all forget over time and get a rude reminder...it happens to the best of us..dont feel bad...the best bet is to burp every time you open..kinda like training yourself...cause trust me it still gets seasoned eggers....[p]Wess

    WessB,[p]I agree Wess....I got bit this week. First time in a long time (and first time ever by the medium), but scorched the ole arm hairs pretty good. This was at a constant 400 temp, no changing of dampers - just opened it to turn the food and *whoosh*...burnt hair smell.

    Fidel,
    from my limited experience, it seems to me to be dependant on the type of charcoal and the size of the charcoal pieces and the amount of dust or ash in the firebox.[p]*how can we sleep when our hair's on fire!*

    Rick's Tropical Delight,
    I agree. I used some leftover small pieces from my bin this week. Got flashed at least 3 times even with burping

    Ron_L,[p]Congratulations! I picked up my large Egg today as well. [p]I'm a little disapointed because none of the 3 local dealers had a plate setter in stock. My original plan was to cook some steaks tonight, beef fajitas tomorrow nite and smoke a chicken on Sunday. Oh well, I really hope one of them gets one in for Thanksgiving because I was really wanting to smoke a turkey as well...[p]The plan got way off track anyway because my son came home from school today and announced he wanted to eat at Chucky E. Cheese tonight... Oh well, steaks tomorrow and Fajitas Sunday nite now....
