New here........ Original 1980s Egg Going Strong

lecrams · August 2012

Hey all, long time reader first time poster. I inherited an egg from my grandfather 8 years ago. I started cooking on the egg with my grandaddy when I was a young man. I look forward to being a part of the group here. On tap this weekend, smoked pork loin tomorrow, and a pizza on Sunday. And of course, plenty of Sweetwater 420 and Dale's Pale Ale.

Wow...I'd love to see a pic. This also shows what type of longevity we an get from our eggs.

A 20+ year old weber would probably be unidentifiable at this point.

Better late than never!

Welcome. When you can post some pics and cooks, you are among the few seasoned veterans.

I already like because of the Dales Pale Ale mention. They are probably my favorite Colorado Brewery right now, but Fort Collins Brewery is giving them a run for my money. Welcome to the board.

Welcome aboard! Nice piece of history there! Is it earthenware or ceramic?

2SCdoodlegg · August 2012

Wow! Impressive!

Original BGE, it is terra cotta. I love it, but may upgrade to a large BGE soon. If you look in the bottom right corner, there's a crack forming.

Thats is awesome, to have a grill for the many years, handed down too. Twenty years from now, maybe my kids will be using mine, I'll sit back and leave the grilling to them..

Welcome to the forum, please don't be afraid to share some of the old recipes from your grandfather too.

Great pic & family story on the BGE. Welcome aboard?

Your grandfather was a wise man. Cool story and photo.

misu · August 2012

very cool.

One of these days when the wife is not looking I'll pick an old one like that to add to the collection

joe@bge · August 2012

Awesome...

That's great! First saw an egg in Atlanta in the 80s and finally got mine in May.

Howdy, Stranger!
