Hi all, I purchased a LBGE a couple months ago and have spiralled down the darkest path of addiction of my life, and love it!
It is a huge learning curve, but even the failures are amazing compared to what I use to consider as "food".
Posting a few shots that were taken with my mobile, so not sure of the quality, but learned from lurking on the forum, no pic - it never happened.
Cheers.
Egg and nest.
First attempt at lamb.
Bbq chicken with jerk seasoning.
Ribs.

Looks great. Addiction is right, have you started having unsollicited conversations with co- workers about cooking on the egg yet? That's when you'll know you're crazy.

Man, great setup and cooks. Glad to have you and look forward to your postsColumbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013

Thanks all, I look forward to learning from everyone here. There is so much one can do with an Egg.
Yes Hokie - those conversations have occured and thankfully there are a core of bbq/smoker fanatics @ work that also love to share recipes and tips, so I don't seem crazy to some... -
Good-looking cooks! Welcome to the madhouse.[Northern] Virginia is for [meat] lovers.

Welcome @Trini_in_Ottawa. I agree with @Fred19Flintstone!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada

Welcome! Way to come out swinging...those are some fine looking cooks!Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.
-
Welcome, those cooks look very nice. Cool set up as well.
-
Yes, the Egg is great inducement to cooking. Remember. Portion control! It will be way to easy to go into feeding frenzy.
Wait till you start telling your co-workers about the great place you've found to score lump. Or running over to the neighbors and ask if you can have some bits of the tree they are cutting down because you can';t ever have enough different kinds of smoking wood...

Welcome aboard and great start. A game-changer as you are aware. An observation-I use a nest not table but it doesn't look like you have an air gap between BGE, slab and table. Most seasoned table owners here recommend an air gap as extra insulation. FWIW-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.

Welcome Trini, always room in the asylum, specially for another Canuck - assume that given the frost on the table...Great cooks, like the submariner says, get an air gap under that egg and use the ceramic cap, park the DFMT inside the egg when you snuff it.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

@TexanOfTheNorth made a funny. I love it!
-
Thanks for all the advise - will look at adding an air gap - should I put the legs on or use something else? Not sure what experienced eggers use to create a gap. Any directions would be appreciated.
I have a cover that I put on when everything cools down.
Yes Skid - Ottawa can be a bit "brisk" sometimes during the year, but frost is better than snow!
-
Hey bud nice to hear of another Canuck . Me I'm just going with a table nest no paver or stone,I'm told a two inch air gap is sufficient enough!Hows ya gettin' on, me ol ****?Kippens.Newfoundland and Labrador. (Canada).
-
Like Canman says, the nest is nice and that's what I use, but you already have everything built for the paver. The little green feet which used to come with eggs are ideal, but they are hard to find. You are looking for anything that wont burn that is between 1.5 cm to 2.5 cm. Three copper elbows or T's would work.@CANMAN1976 - My MBGE in a table nest throws enough heat that the tiles under it get warm, but never hot. Much like my woodstove, I'm a believer in leaving about 1.5 cm of ash in the bottom of the egg.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

I actually make curry goat on the Egg a couple weeks ago.

The Egg can pretty much do anything in my mind...I am going to put a cape with an S on mine soon
