Maiden voyage of the LBGE was Friday night. Cooked a Simon and Garfunkel chicken that was the best we'd ever had. Repeat performance Saturday night for relatives. Decided to live dangerously and try pizza tonight - two small ones for the kids, one big one for me and SWMBO. Thanks to all the great tips on this forum everything turned out brilliantly! Still have room to improve, but happy so far.

You should have been cooking at the EggFest.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

Thanks everyone. @canman1976: I used apple wood chunks for a light smoke. Sat the bird in the fridge for 24 hrs to dry out the skin (extra crispy when done!). Rubbed with EVOO, then a little turbinado sugar, then a rub of salt, pepper, parcely, sage, rosemary, and thyme. Raised indirect at 380 for about an hour. Potatos and mushrooms in the drip pan tomsoak up juice, asparagus on for the last 15 min.
