    3-4 times a week 12 mos a year. It's warm enough here in TX to grill year round.

    I would say that I average 3-4 cooks per week year round. I have more time in the Winter so there are a lot of 3-4 cook weekends plus the other week nights. The Winter is when I play around with more low-n-slows just because I'm home more. 

    This hobby is definitely adding to my waistline though.

    3-4 days per week. I'd cook 5-7 but my wife likes to cook too. She won't use the egg.

    About 2-3 times per week. Time during the week is at a premium, so I try to double up on the weekends and do something that gives me leftovers during the week.

    I cook 3 meals a day 6 days a week. I spend Monday fasting. Okay-- just kidding, I don't spend Monday fasting. No, really, I cook on the egg once or twice a week. If it ever warms up, I'll cook on it more. I have a garage fridge full of beer, and a lot of lump. I'm ready for spring!!

    2-4 times a week, depending on weather of course. On weekends, I'll make the whole meal on the egg if it's possible.

    Probably 2 times a week. Sometimes 3. Probably will happen more often now since the time change. More daylight in the afternoon!

    With my schedule it's 1-2 times per week.  Now if I could carry it to the ballpark with me I might get a few more in per week but until my kids grow up that's gonna be it.

    Every night since March 6th, 2012 except for vacations and the few times I've been sick.  I did miss a few nights when SWMBO wanted her special caserole and even then I smoked it for her.

    I am lucky to light up my XL 2-3 times a month. But then again, I'm lucky to even have an egg!

    I'd cook on BGE everyday if I had the time.  Truthfully, I cook on it about once every other week. I really try to make it at least once a week but with kids, work, life, etc., it's difficult to find time.

     

    I will add that during football season, with all of the tailgating we do at college and nfl games, I probably cook on the BGE 2x per week average.  During summer, the BGE gets used at least three nights per week, sometimes as many as five nights per week.  Smoking pork shoulders for 4th of july, making brisket for a pool party, or even pizza on it so that the house doesn't get all heated up from an oven.  just got the paella pan for birthday so I am looking forward to experimenting with that.  next on my list is the deep dish pizza stone!

     

    everytime I fire one or both of them up, something new is discovered about their capabilities.

    Well, mine likes to cook, but I made the mistake of showing her that "Flashback" movie on the Naked Whiz' web site.  :-O

    For the first month (We just got the Egg in March), she had to be coaxed and shamed to even go near the danged thing.  Even now, when she burps the Egg, she's so tentative, she looks like she's approaching a vial of nuclear urine or something equally dangerous.

    (I assume that nuclear urine is dangerous.)

    My wife won't use it, so the only time I don't use it is when she wants to cook or if we eat out.  eating out never lives up anymore though.  especially getting a steak.
