I took the plunge.......New Egghead onboard

Posts: 90
Well today I am a little light in the pocket. Bought the large egg. I have been contemplating this for over a year and I think I will be happy with the investment. So I guess I am a Rookie egghead and I am pretty sure I will love this egg. Friends have them and I have envied them and loved the food cooked n them. This forum I am sure will make me a veteran egghead in time.

Lol thanks shucker. I was already looking at other products for the egg. Like my Harley you are paying for the name. I'm comparison shopping finding the same things made by other companies that the BGE carries.

@Renegaderam - Here's some comments to consider as you get started:
After-market toys- With the BGE there are three basic styles of cooking; “direct”-where the cooking grid is on top of the fire ring; “raised direct”-where the grid is elevated at least to the gasket-line (this setup requires after-market stuff-easiest is to get another grid and then use three fire bricks (or three empty aluminum beer cans) and place them on the grid at the fire ring and then put the second grid on top. The third is “indirect” where there is a heat deflector (platesetter or some other type stone) between the burning lump and the cooking grid. This is the setup for low&slow long duration cooks. I would get comfortable playing around with the BGE before any major after-market investments. Will save you $$ in the long run. And give this site a look for lots of worthwhile ceramic info;

Looks like you know a few things about fire but remember to burp the egg on new loads of lump or high temp cooks.Jacksonville FL

Thanks to everybody you made me feel at home. Thanks for the awesome advice too. Even through I have a gas grill and love to cook outside even in the winter I will now use that for a warming oven and use the burner to keep my sauces warm. At least it won't wind up in the dump.

Ribs are pretty easy, but you will want to learn temp control before you try them. Maybe just fire it up a couple of times. Or have a friend come by, and point out how the temp is maintained and stabilized.
Spatch'd chicken is hard to ruin. Simple marinaded pork stakes. aka, butt slices, can be done in any number of ways w. very good success rates.
