I propose a "BGE long distance low temp. event):) I did a 18 hr. 2 butt cook overnite,locked on 200º for 12 hr. took it up to 225º for last 6 hrs. put on 4 racks of spare ribs at 225º for 5½ hrs. Couldn't find anything else cookable so decided to see how long EGG would hold at 225º before burning down to lower temp. a few more minutes will be 28 hrs. and looks like at least 5 or 6 more hrs. of heat.My old grills needed to be fed charcoal at least every hr. and the gasser would have already sucked a gas cyl. dry.A real GOLD METAL contender!!!!!I'll post the final time if I don't sleep through it. Happy EGGIN' Bamabob

    Bamabob,
    Go Egg Go!!. Go Egg Go!!. Burn ON Baby. My best burn so far was 29 recorded hours and I Quit, not my Egg. I shut her down and cooked another meal later on the same Lump.

    Bamabob,
    Catagories - Small, Medium & Large with and without guru type devices.[p]I ran my Medium 17 hours @ 215-220 without guru assistance. Shut the bottom vent but left the top open (by mistake). Went to cover the egg about 9 hours later and temperature was still in the 125-130 range. So I opened the lid and stirred the lump with my bare hand ... IT WAS STILL HOT. Thankfully I didn't burn my hand. I probably could have opened her up and stared cooking ribs or steaks. I was stunned with the amount of lump left ... probably only burned 1/2 to 2/3 the amount I put in it. Simply amazing. [p]Lump used - Combination of Real Flavor and Wicked Good. (real flavor lights easier but wicked good lasts longer ... outstanding combination).[p]Gold medal winner.
