We've had the LBGE for a week now and made some of the best ribs we've ever had and then a pizza last night. Wow this is going to be fun!!! Looking for something to go low and slow with, any suggestions?

Easy and most forgiving piece of meat would be a Boston Butt.

Hi, welcome.
Pork butts are surprisingly easy. The generally come out better the bigger they are, 7 - 8 pounds is good. If you cook at the top end of the temp range, 350F, takes about an hour a pound, sometimes less. At the classic 250F, 12 - 16 hours. In which case you need to be able to hold the temp fairly steady for that amount of time.
FWIW, a guy I used to work with thought an Egg was too expensive, despite my encouraging him to get one by feeding him samples. He eventually found one on Craigslist. His 1st cook, his wife told him, "Your best ribs ever." After that, she told him to stop bringing home pulled pork from a nearby pit because his was as good, or better, not to mention less expensive.

Pork butt or meatloaf. The egg does something magical to meat loaf.
More importantly, welcome to the forum, and congratulations!

Welcome! Good to see another Duke fan here. Pork butt is a great initial low and slow.

@bradleya123 You did ribs, so you understand temperature control at low temps.
Go big.
Get a 3 or more bone in prime rib, and cook at 225-250 indirect. Simple salt and pepper rub. Does not even need any smoke added to keep things really simple. It is technically low and slow, but not a long cook. Actually it is one of the easiest.
You will be blown away.

Love Duke! Wait till Basketball season, the haters get really cantankerous as their teams lose while the Blue Devils keep on winning
1st. Welcome!
2nd. Go with a Boston butt. Very easy and delicious results. I've tried it both turbo and low and slow and both were great. The low and slow gives you a better crust if you have the time.One large BGE in Louisville, KY. -

Welcome aboard fellow Blue Devil.
And give the UNC guys a break. They have a long history of academic excellence among their athletes dating back to at least 1981 when senior Al Wood said on television "Sometimes it just bees that way" after a loss to Duke - 2 months prior to his graduation.XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

Welcome aboard and enjoy the journey. If you haven't found this site yet give it a look: http://www.nakedwhiz.com/ceramic.htm Will likely have answers to most any ceramic cooking questions you may have. Should you wonder about "spatchcock chix" you will find out all about it in the recipe section. FWIW-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.

I've heard (from Steven Raichlen) that beef plate ribs is brisket on the bone! I know I wanna try and think it'd be easier than a whole packer since you're new. Regardless, have fun, post pics, and no such thing as a dumb question as long as you've read previous threads!“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

@bradleya123, welcome from a Gilbert Adams resident freshman year and an overnight resident of K-Ville.
I graduated thanks to scholarships, financial aid, and loans. The stereotype I see repeated in the media seems like it was invented by an alien. Yes there were rich kids and poor kids but what mattered most was how smart you were.
Day 1, I did not care about college basketball.
Today my favorite resume accomplishment - "Most creative sign of the weekend" made while camping out for a a Duke-UNC game. USA Today, Sports section, left side front page weekend news tidbits column. Above the fold.

WOW I didn't know I was going to strike such a cord. I love it!

So, I did business with UNC a few years back. I asked my contact, so, if UNC is out of the tourney and Duke is still in it, do you root for Duke....the ACC?
