New to the forum - 1st post

I've been on and off of this site for years. In May I got a LBGE and joined the forum. While I haven't posted I've been lurking, learning new things every day and cooking when I can. Mostly weekends. The wealth of knowledge that is shared on a regular basis amazes me. I just recently received a new gasket from @RRP. Thanks Ron. Plan on installing this weekend.
Did a low and slow Pork Butt with Pork Burnt Ends. Cooked at 300ish for 8 hours. Three on some stuffed peppers at the end. Came out great and the burnt ends were a hit. Didn't want to crisp the gasket on my first cook. Used a lot of the tips from the forum to control temp and have it dialed in now.
Pizza was second, can't go wrong with this. Half regular cheese with the other half fresh mozzarella. Put fresh Italian sausage and pepperoni to keep everyone happy. Can't understand why it took me so long to get a BGE. Put it off too long!
Cooked some salmon, asparagus, chicken breasts and an onion. Came out great. Salmon had bourbon, maple syrup and butter as a sauce. Was amazing!
It all goes done better with some brown water!
Looking forward to sharing more cooks and gaining more ideas, tips and tricks to some outstanding cooks. You know it's good when the entire family says "so what are you going to cook on the egg this weekend?"
Glad to be part of this finally!

@byrne092 - thanks. I think its great. The bottle I have is 111 proof and helps it shine. Has a nice finish, not to harsh. It reminds me of Bookers or Bakers. I normally drink Makers or Makers 46.Fort Worth, TX

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I am looking forward to more outdoor cooks versus the kitchen. There are so many great ideas on this site and it keeps me wondering what I can cook next.
@NPHuskerFL I'll get a pic later this week when I'm home early enough to take a pic.
@YukonRon the wish list is made and holding. Its a long and expensive list! SWMBO will not find out about this.Fort Worth, TX

Way to come right out of the gate firing both barrels. Mighty fine looking grub brother. Excellent job.
Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.
Status- Standing by.
The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
Thanks for that. Ya'll have set the bar high.SGH said:Way to come right out of the gate firing both barrels. Mighty fine looking grub brother. Excellent job.Fort Worth, TX
