Go ahead with a Beer Can but I think you'll find Spatch is easier, less mess and a fine result.South Jersey Pine Barrens. XL BGE , Assassin 24, Weber Kettle, CharBroil gasser, AMNPS -

XL BGE is in da house!
I watched the assembly videos a bunch of times, so putting this beast together went smoothly. I managed to wrestle it onto the nest by myself. I finished just as the rain started blowing in.
I bought a plate setter, and the store threw in a bag of Humphrey's lump, some fire starters, an ash tool, and a grill gripper.
First fire is scheduled for Saturday and I can't wait - spatchcock chicken indirect!South Jersey Pine Barrens. XL BGE , Assassin 24, Weber Kettle, CharBroil gasser, AMNPS -

Yeah, I guess I'm a big guy...LOL! I'm really chomping at the bit to try tons of things, but I guess I'm stuck at 350 degrees or less until this gasket seats. How long does that usually take?South Jersey Pine Barrens. XL BGE , Assassin 24, Weber Kettle, CharBroil gasser, AMNPS

Let her rip, it under warranty.
Seriously, I think I cooked a couple times low, but the temp got away from me the first time I was going to do a butt. Cook 3. No problem and I nearly wrapped the thermo.
PS. when you get above 400ish. DONT FORGET TO BURP THE EGG!!
PSS you will forget at least once. -
Thanks! I'll do a couple of slow cooks first before I put the spurs to it.South Jersey Pine Barrens. XL BGE , Assassin 24, Weber Kettle, CharBroil gasser, AMNPS

Question: I've seen videos of felt wrapped around the chimney to hold the daisy wheel on. I didn't get felt and daisy wheel fits pretty loosely. I guess care is in order to keep from dropping the daisy wheel? Sorry for all of the noob questions.South Jersey Pine Barrens. XL BGE , Assassin 24, Weber Kettle, CharBroil gasser, AMNPS

Should be a gasket up there. You're missing something.

I looked through all of the boxes twice - no gasket. I guess I'll head to the store soon to get it.South Jersey Pine Barrens. XL BGE , Assassin 24, Weber Kettle, CharBroil gasser, AMNPS

My brand new XL BGE and my "Smoking Zone"- a work in progress. As you can see, the roof leaks a bit. My contractor has promised to fix it. Its leaking around the exhaust fan I had installed in the roof to clear the smoke.

Congrats and welcome aboard. You'll love your XL Egg. That looks like a nice cooking area you got going on there. Smoke from the Egg, a cooler fool of coldies and a blue tooth speaker belting some tunes and you'll have it made!
