First, copying bobinaz's cart for my Mini.

Second for cooking Carolina Q's brussel sprouts, mushrooms and garlic in a skillet on the Egg.I cut them in half so they'd cook faster.

I added Auricchio provolone from my teeny supply and it was great!

I got a 1" ribeye and instead of waiting to raise the Mini to a searing temperature, I threw the steak right on the coals, flipped it and THEN roasted it at 400° with the lid down till it was 125° in the thickest part.

It made a nice dinner to eat during the Oscars.

    Judy, if I didn't copy cat what I see on this forum I would be missing out on some great food. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I don't care what Rich says, the brussel sprouts with mushrooms look delicious......even if the recipe came from Carolina Q . :woohoo:

    I think he made it on the Large, so he can't file it under F for fireplace food. Even on the Mini, I had to use a 10" CI skillet and there was enough room around the edge for airflow.

    This is the third thing I've made on it, I think, next I'm going to find a chicken recipe to copy. Or better yet, I'll try RRP's wings!

    I feel like a first-grader here with this new cooker.

    You sound like a grumpy old man. Did your mommy make you clean your plate?

    I swear these don't taste like steamed/boiled brussel sprouts at all!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Michael, I was afraid of that.......I was just hoping you were at work and not wiling away your time on the forum. Strategic error on my part. :pinch:

    This chicken is very good.
    I like Butt Rub and the last 20 mins do Bone Sucking Sauce or good w/o the BSS.

    Judy, LOVE the caveman steak!! sprouts look good too (though they are certainly not mine). :) Next time, I will halve, or maybe quarter them.

    "Did your mommy make you clean your plate? " Yes and that is why I am not fond of Brussel sprouts, I guess. ;)

    I don't care where you got the idea,YOU had to cook it.All I can say is you did an OUTSTANDING job.It all looks GREAT! :)

    What Michael says. No ash sticks, and I pull off any lump--always a large piece--with the tongs.

    I have to say the taste of incinerated steak and lamb chop fat has been right up there with cream/whipped cream my entire life, since my memories began. Yep, the two most personal and dearest tastes.

    I think you pushed me over the edge to cook a steak directly on the coals. That looked great.

    I hope you are real proud of yourself. I know I'M really proud of you!

    I'm doctoring up a can of lentil soup tonight. I had a molar extracted last week and it's really slo-o-o-o-ow healing. Testing my mettle. Whatever mettle is.
