    congrats on the new egg!! word to the wise make sure you stay under 500 for the first 8-10 cooks to give your gasket adhesive some time to set or "cure":::


    here is a pork loin recepie:::


    Pork, Loin, Stuffed, Roast, Florentine, Wise One


    Ingredients
    1 boneless pork loin roast (3-5 lbs)
    1 Tbs dried rosemary
    3 cups spinach
    3 Tbs Mustard (Dijon or Coarse grind)
    salt and pepper to taste
    1/4 cup feta cheese



    Procedure
    1 In a bowl mix spinach, rosemary, mustard, and feta cheese. Mix until well coated.
    2 Untie the pork roast and unroll. If necessary slice along the bottom to get more surface area.
    3 Take mixture and put on top of flattened pork loin.
    4 Roll pork loin into a tube shape and retie with bvutcher twine.
    5 Brown slightly using direct heat for two to three minutes on each side (may want to turn two or three times)
    6 Cook indirect at 350 degrees until it reaches 160 internally.
    7 Allow to rest for 15 mnutes. Slice and serve.

    Some people get the hang of holding a steady temperature right away, but a lot of folks don't. So jumping in to do a brisket might be a little hard. Spatchcock'd chicken is really a snap, and could probably be done at the same time as a pork loin.

    Do a google on "Naked Whiz" for some good basic info on using your Egg.

    "T-Rex'd" steaks are always a hit, too.

    Have fun, the Egg repays any effort aimed at it

    Congrat's on joining the best club in the world. ;)B)
    I would agree on not going above 500 the first few cooks it can really do bad things to the gasket :(
    Spatchcock chicken is one of my favorites :) I also love AZRP's "The Chicken". B) Of course you can never, ever go wrong with some ribs or a nice pork butt ;)B):whistle:
