    ShortRib,
    Looks good. Got a few questions. Time, temp, and where did you get them racks? Nice racks!

    Crab leg,
    I researched it hard on the forum. The temp was about 190-195. I was told the easiest way of getting such a low temp was to use "used" charcoal. I had about half an egg full of half burnt charcoal in my egg. Time is hard to figure out. The rule of thumb I was told was to start sampling after 3 hours. Every two hours after that I rotated the racks and picked off the smaller pieces that were done sooner. I was completely done after about 8 hours. I bought the racks at Target. They are stackable cooling racks that you can find in the kitchen area (roughly $5). I tried to stack them using the extensions, but there was not enough room and I couldn't shut the lid of the egg.

    Dave,[p]Used London Broil. I asked the butcher at the local grocery store to slice about 4 pounds of London Broil around 1/4" to 3/16". Then cut it into strips when I came home. Marinaded it on Wed. cooked it on Friday.
