Hi folks.  I was hit with Transverse Myelitis December 2012 and it left me a T4 paraplegic (middle of the chest).  I had lots of concerns and issues to work through, one of them being: how will I manage my XL Egg.  We moved it closer to the back door and then removed the wheels to drop it down about 3-4".  That's low enough so I can now lift the top, remove/replace the grill, and manage the lump inside.  I need help refilling the Egg with lump or if I am doing a low and slow as the placesetter is to large for me to manage.  Otherwise, I am good to go!! 

We had friends over Saturday night.  The menu consisted of ABTs, filets, and beautiful sockeye salmon.  Steaks were coated with Kent Rathburn steak/chop rub. 


I grabbed this shot as dinner went on.

Note the different cap on top.  I replaced the daisy wheel with this device.  It makes it much easier for me to manage the top venting, I can easily spin it which opens/closes the vents.
