1st Attempt - Paella

Two things I have yet to attempt on my BGE are Paella and Brisket. Haven't done brisket mainly because I am a tightwad and that is an expensive piece of meat to "practice" on. Watched @Big_Green_Craig fix paella yesterday at the Heart of Ga Eggfest and figured the time is here. On a seperate note, I know Craig gets a lot grief and ribbing on here (I am guilty of piling on as well), but the guy is a nice guy who is extremely passionate about his cooking. I really enjoyed learning from him yesterday. He is a creative cook and I learned a lot
Anyway, pics as the event unfolds......

You can actually hear when it's done from the rice popping. Developing a good socarrat is the key to good paella.

Number two on my BGE cook list-just behind the good ol' brisket. TNW's recipe linked here is a great primer: http://www.nakedwhiz.com/paella/paella.htm It's all about the prep work. And then go for it...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.

@bo31210 .. Fantastic looking paella .. did you pick up the valencia rice at Publix too? Nice looking BGE salt & pepper shaker. Macon is kinda far .. else I would have been at your doorstep this evening :-)LBGE & MiniOrlando, FL

Thanks for the compliments all Yes @fljoemon it came from Publix Just need to find an online source for saffron now. Only catch was I forgot to season it all when I put it all together at the end. Other than that, it was great. Good flavor and SWMBO felt it was the best thing ever cooked on the egg.In the middle of Georgia! Geaux Tigers!!!!!

Really really nice cook. You should be standing tall today.
-
"First Try"....yea, right! ha....just kidding. You nailed that for sure! It's in my 2015 list too. Maybe one football I'll give it a shot. I bookmarked your post just in case. Well done!Atlanta, GA - Large BGE x 2

Dont be afraid of a brisket just buy a small one. You dont have to make a 20 lb one. I made my first one last week it was great. I have only smoked 2 times and both time it was really good. I am a new egg'er so I am still learning myself.hello all I live in KY Bourbon country so I love my makers, love my egg but still love my wife the most

Great looking dish Bo! Glad to meet you and I enjoyed our conversation!
