Hi There!
Good day!!
After lurking for quite some time, it is time for me to post and at least say hi. I have learned so much reading this forum; from how to use and cook with BGE to different technics out there. So here goes my story with a few pictures of some cooks I did:
Got a LBGE around mid Feb. this year as an early b-day gift from my lovely wife. We had a day off during the week so we went shopping. At one point she told me she wanted to see some patio furnitures from this store. While in the store, I was looking at the BGE and she just came to me and said; happy early b-day! Finally after looking at those things for quite some time and keep saying that I will buy one at earch spring time, this was the year. Here she is all ready to be assemble waiting for me after we got her home:
Here is the first cook on the BGE. Simple lamb shoulder pre-marinated we bought at the grocery store. (still so clean)
Of course one of my next cook had to be a spatchcock chicken.
From there I started to experiement more. Here is some jerk chicken with some JD wood chips!
My first simple pizza.
There it is! I've been cooking with the BGE as much as I can. My wife love it but also complaint that it takes way to long for me to BBQ now. All I can say to her is that it takes time to cook a good meal and I have learned that you cannot rush it with a BGE.
Cheers!!

Looking good, nice cooks - very well done. Welcome to our little piece of chaos.Once you get on to it and plan ahead a bit, I think the egg actually takes less time to BBQ. After the spatched bird hits the indirect grid (If I'm doing them that way) it is a Ronco, set it and forget it cook. The Maverick warns of temp issues.Thank goodness for the Mav temp and time alarms, I'd forget that dinner is on the grill.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Welcome! Everything looks fantastic.How are you starting your fire? For a quick start, go with a MAPP or Looftlighter (sp?). You will shave a good 10 minutes or more off the cook.*******Owner of a large and a beloved mini in Philadelphia

Thanks everyone!
@jlsm I start the Egg with fire starting cubes. It usually take me between 5-10 minutes to get the egg at the desired temp depending on how much charcoal I use.
The cooking time 'complaint' is more due to doing indirect cooking than my typical direct fast cooking on a gas BBQ. She does admit that the indirect cooking and smoky flavor is way better so really it is not a huge issue unless the kids are getting cranky waiting for daddy to finish up!
@skiddymarker You are so right. I used to do a lot of flipping with my old gaser. Now that I learned how to cook indirect, it is so easy just to let it cook and do somethig else at the mean time.. perhaps few adult brevages.
Cheers and happy Friday!!
