Ran the BGE for the first time today :laugh:. Made smokey potatoes to use for twice baked potatoes tomorrow, they look wonderful. Then I made big ol' hamburgers with worcester sauce, seasoning salt and fresh ground black pepper. Came out great!! I was surprised by how good the hamburgers were. I was useing my new instant read theromoter as advised by folks on this fourm and was getting a real low temp reading. I decided to pull the hamburgers off, reading be damned, and I was correct they were done. Well done, much to my suprise they were moist and tasty. Apparently, I need to work on my technique with the themapen :P . Tomorrow, I am working on steaks, chicken, grilled veggies and will finsh the twice baked taters. I had an easy time maintaining the temp at 400. The only real issue I had was my grill gloves need to be a bit heaver to remove the plate setter that sucker was burning through my mitt. By doing both of those cooks today I learned a lot ababout the the BGE. Hopefuly before to long I will smoking with my BGE.

Nice 1st cook...oh and search the forum for "smokey deviled egg" recipe...they are deelicious...
-
Food looks great :woohoo:
I use welding gloves to remove the ps in my eggs....have a landing zone all ready and make the move quickly -
Great job! The first thing I Egged was a couple of nice steaks, but I wasn't prepared for the super high heat and I overcooked them.
Then I smashcocked (it definitely wasn't "spatch"cocked) a chicken and put in a BUNCH of wood chips. It tasted like cigarette smoke.
Fortunately, I'm on a roll now. I made some delicious salmon on Tuesday and a stuffed chicken breast on Wednesday. Both came out GREAT.
Congratulations on a successful first cook! -
Very nice first cook. The potatoes sound like a great idea...twice egged, yum.Happily egging on my original large BGE since 1996... now the owner of 5 eggs. Call me crazy, everyone else does!

Hey Harry,
It's been my eggsperiance that chicken soaks up smoke flavor like a sponge. I use little or no additional smoke when I egg chicken.

That looks great. I have made some of the best ribs and boston butts on my egg. Steaks are harder I will cook a real good one then the next will just be ok. I want to be the best not just average. It is fun and you will learn a lot from a lot of great people on here!

I'm with ya on that one, Blair.

The Smokey potatoes are good and easy to make. Rub the spuds down with Bacon grease, sprinkle kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper on them. Stab the spuds a few times with a fork. I put them in the Egg naked with Hickory smoke at 400 for an hour or so. They are equally good on the side as a baked tater or scooped out and turned into twice baked and even potato skins. Good Eats!!
