1st cook

Hope ya'll don't tire of seeing everyones for 1st cook on their BGE.

Here is a pic of mine.
I was conservetive since I was learning. A 4.2 lb pork loin cooked at 250* for 4 hrs (145* internal temp) and then opened vents to brown a little more. Seasoned only with a locally made 'rib rub'. I know the little loin looks pretty lonely on the XL BGE but bigger cooks to follow as I learn. Mike

Looks like you're doing a good job on that loin. My first cook was some country style ribs and they turned out pretty darn good. The BGE is a wonderful piece of equipment.

Looks great, Mike.

I only have a medium. My first cook was a skinless, boneless chickie breast. Boy did it look pale and lonely on my egg, but it might as well have been a 6 bone prime rib. I was soooooo pround of it. And I'm not sure I've cooked another one as good as it was, since then.

kWelcome and eep us posted.

TNMike,

I am there with ya. Just my second week owning one and had my 4th meal last night. Was to try a $55 piece of Tenderloin tonight but both college age children would rather go out on dates with boyfriend and girlfriend and spend there own (my) money. My son is not a big rib eater and he ate a WHOLE side of baby backs (my first cook) and said that was the best he ever had. My daughter is not a big chicken eater as her university, according to her, feeds them "chicken" all the time. She, and everyone else in the family, says it was awesome last night. Have fun. I know I am and these people on this forum have given me great tips and advice. They are great.

That's a lead off homerun right there. Good job !

You are doing real cooking now my friend.

Don't get intimidated by all this. The egg is just another cooking device - that happens to do the best job around.

I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. Make sure you have plenty of space around. You will need it for your future eggs.
