I figured since I am constantly on here reading and learning from others that I would share some successes...had the eggs for a while now and made several upgrades as most do after the obsession takes hold.  Plan on being more active in here moving forward, but thank you all for the tips in the past and for the future! 

Wild caught duck with a balsamic reduction, roasted vegetables



Hands down one of my favorite things to do on the eggs!  Ground hot italian sausage, mozzarella, red sauce, and finish with some fresh basil


Split chicken with a jerk rub, first time on the rub...would add more heat next time


Upgraded table, first time I got theses bad boys going together




Filet and lobster...what more needs to be said



Dry ribs, fell off the bone when these were finished.

    Well, I'm stupefied. That is the second "new" member, who has been a professional lurker, who has dropped THE BOMB in one night. I think we can all fairly say for the "professional posters" on this forum that in general we need to up our game ladies and gents. If nothing else, I speak for myself.

    Amazing start- food looks like a seasoned hand. 

    not to be Debbie downer but over the years some people have had tables catch on fire when placed directly on the pavers. Need to put some egg feet or the new mini nest to give an air gap.

    @mac59 - How did the lobster turn out? What was your cook time? Did you ever flip it to meat side down momentarily? Sorry to pepper you with questions - I've just been thinking about doing tails for a while. Thanks in advance!

    @PASmoke the lobster tails turned out great and are very easy to do.  Split down the center and pull the meat out so it "rests" on top of the shell, tail still connected.  EVO, pat of butter, minced garlic and some SP whisked up and basted on.  These cook relatively fast at high temp (5-7 min. depending).  I did not flip them as the shell acts as a nice buffer from the flame.

    @td66snrf I like to think I'm an alright guy and would hope the pups agree!  Have two shelter dogs that are treated like queens around here.

    Welcome aboard and thanks for sharing quite a launch.  Nailed it.
    And I echo the comment above about getting an air-gap between the BGEs and your table.  It may take a few years but the heat will win the end-game with the wood failure and you don't want to be there.  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.
