..... wish me luck. Well, with a fairly new EGG, I've got ribs, pork chops, ribeyes, burgers, lamb chops, ahi tuna and chickens added to the resume. Tonight will be the first butt on the EGG. Done 'em b4 but not on an EGG. Been using BGE lump and opened a bag of Wicked Good and OH MY the difference!!!! Anyway, will post a report tomorrow..... sweet dreams.

Good luck, get some sleep yourself. If you are not using anything to keep the temps. steady, you will probably need to check it once during the night.

Hope the knee is recouping.You doin OK?

Knee is fine. Rehab was awful!! Thanks for asking.
-
Yea I'm OK, just sittin around the house, thanks for asking

USDA Prime,
Make sure your egg is clean of ash and put the big pieces of lump in the bottom. Light the lump in three or four places and you will be good to go. Set the temp for 250*

And may the BBQ Gods smile upon your butt!!!!!!! Good Luck!

I never used "Wicked Good". What's your opinion?
Thanks, -
H-U-G-E lumps - great for long, low temp burns. Little pieces seem to be just fine for quicker, hotter cooks. Let you know more in the AM.

How does someone in Iowa get ahold of some Wicked Good Lump?
-
If you live in Iowa, either this is a loaded question or you are most fortunate!!

UPDATE! - Butt has been on for 1 hour 15 munites. Meat Temp 72
Egg Temp steady at 221 -
If 221 is your dome temp, you better kick it up some to around 250.
-
221 is the Maverick temp at the grill with a platesetter. Think it needs a bump up?
-
what's the temp on dome therm? it should be around 250. make sure the dome therm probe is not touching the butt. also, the maverick probe at grill should not be directly in the path of the hot air coming up around the platesetter.canuckland
-
Thanks. The probe wires were placed to exit over one of the platesetter legs. Got up this AM and Egg was at 170. A little stoking and blowing and we're back on the program. Meat temp is 134. There will be pork! A DigiQ II is in my future.
-
20 hours later, a beautiful butt was removed from the Egg. Pulled it off at 195 i.t. Ramped the Egg temp up to 275-290 for the last 4 hours. Nice bark and ring. Used 2 chunks each of pecan, hickory and maple. CYM, Byron's and mopped every 2-3 hours. EGG-celent!
