Hey Gang,
I'm going to be taking a Large home tomorrow and give it a whirl. I saw a video on YouTube about some simple BBQ chicken legs - olive oil, cracked pepper, salt, and a rub. Cook at about 425, with plate setter in upside down, for about an hour, hour and 10 with a flip mid way. Brush on BBQ sauce about 10 minutes away from the end, flip at 5 minutes, brush on more sauce, and finish up the cook. The looked absolutely delish!
If this works out, I'll probably do it again when we have our Big Green EGGstravaganza.
Speaking of rubs, here's what I got with our shipment - any firsthand knowledge with any of these?
Bad Byron's Butt Rubb
BGE - Sweet Maple
BGE - Gourmet Seasoning
BGE - Garlic Pepper
BGE - Green Pecan

First thing ... forget about time ... finished internal temps is all that matters....
I hope all comes out as you hope ... you will do well to hit your target pit temp and maintain it ...
Looking forward to hear & see your results ...
Sorry ... I know nothing of those rubs .. but I'm sure they are good!
Never eat anything passed through a window unless you're a seagull ... BGE Lg. -
Good luck

I have used the garlic pepper, it is good on thighs.I grill therefore I am.....not hungy.

@squeezy - If I've learned anything it's to catch the temp on the way up, and hang onto it.That reminds me - is there anything that needs to be done to an Egg prior to first use, or just fill the box and light'er up?Egg Head in Klamath Falls, Oregon

No matter what, everything you cook will be awesome on the BGE! Good luck and let us know how it goes.

How often do you calibrate your thermometer?
-

I've noticed the thermometer out of whack sometimes after hi temp cooks. Because I'm familiar enough with the vent setting that should produce a 250 dome temperature, and am getting readings that are 25 degrees higher, I check the calibration.

I fidgit with my thermometer. I have a habit of turning it with my target temp to the top. Makes it easier for me to read. So sometimes I feel that the little nut on the back may have gotten moved so I probably check it more than the average egger. It has been off more than once.Every day is a bonus day and every meal is a banquet in Winter Springs, Fl !
