Just for those last minute shoppers, what would you suggest as a perfect accessory gift to the egg. I'll give you the platesetter and guru, what else rocks your boat while egging. For me, it would be a great set of long handle tongs/gloves. Nothing cooler than holding a big hunk of meat far from the hand and placing it deep into a 600+ degree egg. It's a crowd pleaser when you pull out your hand, smile and ask -- how would you like that cooked! LOL So what is your suggestion? Tom

    Lawn Ranger tools are great gifts. Wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more, say no more. [p](I asked my wife for a LR handle for my egg.) :~D

    vr6Cop,
    well I finnaly came to the conclusion that money is the only thing that talks with my Dad. I have been dropping hints to him for a while and nothing. So I went to his site and ordered one of everything. Can you believe that all I got back was a response on my e-mail that said JERK! hehehe!
    Yall should see this guy though, he works so hard. every time I go over there he is covered in saw dust and apoxy. He has so much apoxy stuck to his fingers, he cant even get it off now hehehe! He said he does get some funny looks though when he has to go into meetings with the big wigs at work. but they have known him long enough not to ask questions. hahahaha

    Sandbagger,[p]Actually, I'd be happy with a good cut of meat and no agenda on Sunday. Some kind of meal that doesn't require a lot of prep but one which requires constant supervision from the hammock chair on the back deck and rotating frosted mugs out of the freezer.[p]RE

    Sandbagger,[p]Last year my kids made me the table for my Large egg. I could go for some new long handled tools this year.

    1shot1kill, Hopefully my wife "talked" with money. I think it is awesome to have those kind of woodworking skills. [p]Too bad he didn't reply "Wait til Christmas/birthday/etc." :~D

    vr6Cop,
    Believe me, money has nothing to do with it. I'm in it for the exercise and the friends I've made. BTW, ask 1Shot what happened to the spatula I gave him for Christmas :0)[p]Mike

    Lawn Ranger,
    come on now, you didnt have to go there!![p]Ok here it goes. FYI all Lawn Ranger tools are flamable.[p]I went on a camping trip with some buddies and did burgers for supper the first night. After the cook we took the grate off of our campfire and piled on the wood for a good ole bonfire. Well after a few good cold Texas brews, I woke the next morning to start getting the fire ready for breakfast. I had everything ready, but could not find my spatula. After searching for several minutes I finnaly saw just the mettal part sticking out of the fire. Some how it got mistaken as fire wood the night before. Talk about wanting to ralph and not because of all the cold brew either. I had no idea how I was gonna tell Dad about it, but he took it very well and not much has been said about 'till well, now.
    Thanks Dad:)

    fishlessman,[p]Is that a big bottle of nitrogen? Nothing like a wee bit of snow to cool the Guinness before it pours out the tap. Sweet setup.

    GrillMeister,
    its a 75% nitrogen/25% CO2 mix that you want for the guinness. that is my winter early spring setup with the snow. the rest of the year i have an old fridge that the tap mounts to. not sure how many kegs one bottle of nitrogen will pour, but im keeping count.

    Not fair to show this to a Irish/German Wisconsin born beer drinker. I TRex'd steaks last night, and bought a bottle of wine to go with them. I was outside firing up the egg and a cold beer entered my mind. I was three beers in and still hadn't put the steaks on. The wine never got opened. Maybe tonight after a beer or two. Tom

    Frank King, Last Christmas my wife and daughter surprised me with a cover for the table I just completed. That is a cool gift and was a complete surprise. Sometimes it pays to have a quilter in the house. tom

    randomegger, I miss my hammock. I had the rope hammock. The squirrels gnawed through the rope and stole it. I switched to a batten hammock and the squirrels chewed through the cover and stole the filler material. Come to think of it, does squirrel taste like chicken when prepared on the egg. LOL Tom
