I invited 15 of my neighbors over for some Eastern NC bbq cooked on the BGE this past weekend. Of course, it would be the coldest weekend we've had this Winter in Colorado but I was determined. I put 2 7lb butts on Saturday evening and stabilized temp at 225. At 6:30 am Sunday, the BGE was still at 200, though it was near Zero outside. The butts hit 200 internal at 5pm. Needless to say, a good time was had by all. Another BGE success story![p]By the way, it was so cold outside, I had to put my beer on ice to keep it warm. Thats Cold![p]
In my mind, I'm going to Carolina....

    WooDoggies,[p]Yes, the ice kept the beer at about 35 vs. the outside of about 9 degrees. Unbelievable.

    Tarheel Tom,
    Did you sway anyone to consider buying an egg? If any meal would do it, pulled pork would!

    RhumAndJerk,
    Not last weekend like I wanted too. Satuarday woke up to flood water surrounding the house. Luckily it never got it. Saturday night, winds went to 40mph with gusts to 60mph. Rain stopped Sunday, wind continued until Monday. Not a good q'n weekend.[p]Did make it to the store. My local Kroger only gets in pre-cryo packed beef. No beef shanks. (Last summer I went 3 weeks before one of my local stores got in a brisket). I am going to try and find one somewhere this week. We only have one butcher in town, and he is only open during the regular work day, and and on the other side of town. The worst part of a small city is not a lot of variety. No one here has ever heard of chorizo, oh well. I will try Sam's Club, you never know. At a worst case, will do a pork shoulder while I continue to search for a beef shank.[p]thanks for asking, I will post as soon as I do one.

    Still Smokin',[p]Yes, I converted at least one to the BGE. He not only enjoyed the bbq, but saw the value of the insulating capabilities in the Colorado climate.
