First cooke tonite: NY Strips and roasted broccoli. Had to keep it 350 or below, but I am very impressed with the results.

Welcome.
Why did you have to keep it 350 or below? The sweet spot, for me, on most cooks is 400 and I do steaks hotter. Some folks here do them a lot hotter.
If is was for the broccoli you can cook hotter but shorter, or devise an indirect rig.
XXL #82 out of the first 100, XLGE X 2, LBGE (gave this one to daughter 1.0) , MBGE (now in the hands of iloveagoodyoke daughter 2.0) and lots of toys -
Congrats and Welcome!You need to post pics, or we shall taunt you!>:)_____________
Remember when teachers used to say 'You won't have a calculator everywhere you go'? Well, we showed them.

BGE says first two cooks need to be at 350 or below to cure the gasket!

Ah, forgot that one

Not to worry though, you won't have a gasket for long.
Actually my next day off I am scraping the final dregs of the gaskets on my Eggs off, and realigning the domes. Haven't had a functional gasket since last February.
Again, welcome aboard, and get a camera!

Welcome to the cult and the degree of Kool-Aid consumption is a personal choice. Just cook whatever you fancy and when in doubt inquire here-the answers you get will likely run the gamut of choices-but all good!Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Munch is back. I am now 5 cooks into my LBGE. Tonight I prepared marinated flat iron steak with a western rub. My family is very impressed with my egg prowess even though I am still winging it!

Brisket can be a tough cook. Maybe ribs,, tenderloin, chicken....welcomeGreen egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

@munch-winging it is quite good with the BGE-cazzy, necessaryindulgence and others have tremendous wing expertise...you just gotta let winging it go >-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.
