Turbo ribs. Or how about some delicious spatchcocked chicken?Flint, Michigan

Congrats on the Egg!You can never go wrong with a nice steak! But I wouldn't recommend getting the grill too hot on your first few cooks. I haven't found anything you cant do with the XL as long as you have the right accessories.I just picked up a medium to go along with my XL for those times when I want to cook at two different temps. I will try to give it a workout this weekend.Enjoy, my friend.XL BGE - Med BGE - Mini BGE - Traeger Pellet GrillsHillsboro OR

Congrats on the egg and my choice would be some delicious seared steaks, mmh!!Magnolia, Tx. --- Go Navy! --- Undercrown Robusto --- Gurkha Ancient Warrior --- Acid Cold Infusion --- Liga Privada No. 9

My choice would be a rib roast. Forgiving and it's like having several ribeyes cooked at once. Oh and congratulations on stepping up to the big boy to begin with.XLBGE, LBGE, MBGE, SMALL, MINI, 2 Kubs, Fire Magic Gasser

Chicken thighs rubbed with salt and pepper. The simplicity of the cook will let you see just how good any dish can be when cooked on the egg.
-
Do you have a decent thermometer to check the temp of what you're cooking? If you don't yet, I would go with ribs or simply cooked chicken (wings, thighs mentioned by Cowdogs, even marinated boneless breasts) where cooking by feel is fine and margin of error is wider.
