  • EddieK76 said: After looking over everything I decided that Egret's ham would best suit my family.  My wife is not a fan of ham at all and I could take it or leave it.   We went to get one but could only find one that was already hickory smok…

  • caliking said: Is there a link to the recipe available? All this ham talk is giving me ideas. Here you go : Maple-Bourbon Ham by John Hall (egret) Ingredients: Maple-Bourbon Paste (recipe follows) 10-12 # cooked, ready to…
  • Jeffroe189 said: From the man himself. Thank you Egret. I have a 10lbs ham how long do you think it will take to cook?  Thanks again Jeff Jeff, it depends on what temp. you're cooking at, of course. It should take 4-5 hours.
  • First thing I'd try is some WD-40 on the moving parts. If that doesn't work, you most likely have a couple of nuts on the hinge assembly that need tightening. You'll probably be able to see which ones are causing the problem. If you tighten some of …
  • I have two I'm getting ready to pull out of the fridge to cook! I never slit mine. I just start the fire in the middle and when clean burning at around 300* put the wood in. Let the wood smoke a while to get rid of most of that initial white smoke. …
  • grege345 said: Should I? I'm startin to get the jitters No, don't start getting the jitters! If you don't have any bourbon, leave it out. You may need to add a little more liquid if the smear is too stiff (I'd use more maple syrup). Temp…
  • I've done a lot of smoked cheese and I find that the fruit woods are much better for this. I use apple most of the time, but, also use peach and pear......it's all good!
  • Oh, I wouldn't go to Rio under any circumstances!! The new Pope has just declared Rio off limits to all non-Catholics of all ages and off limits to all Catholics under the age of 73 years......How about a real fun eggfest right here in the good ole …
  • Kristi,I see no one has told you it's bad news to go to two eggfests in successive months!  :| You need to wait until May to plan your next one........hey, I hear there's one going on around the middle of May in N. GA somewhere!!?? :)>-
  • Not sure about this, but, I heard that egret won the medium egg in the cook's drawing!!!?? :)) :)>-
  • Look forward to seeing you in Florida!! Sorry you won't be in Hiawassee this year! :-O
  • egret and Lady egret will be there cooking somewhere near vidali1. This will be our 9th consecutive Florida fest!! :\">
  • The plate setter for the mini is a new item, but, doesn't show on the BGE web site yet. It's real!!
  • Angelina said: Ok I guess I will see you all there!! Can't wait. BTW I will be a taster in case you couldn't guess !!! Haha. Is there beer there? Hi Angela, So happy to hear you're planning to come to the GA Mt. Eggfest. You're going to…

  • Crispix49 said: Really looking forward to attending, and I'm bringing the fam too; will be my first eggfest. I think I may pre-order a mini, but was weighing that vs the small. Anyone know how much a small weighs? Looking for portability (…
  • Come on down (up?) to Georgia in May. Dealer will sell you a brand new mini in the box with the new-style nest for less than that. Plus, you get a free ticket to the fest!http://www.mountainegg.com/DemoEgg.php
  • That's a fine looking ham! I've never cooked one the same day as the day I injected, so I have no comparative info. I do prefer the butt section over the shank, though. 
  • I use a 7 qt, I've done it in a 5 qt., but, that's really pushing it.........
  • DawgDays said: Just wanted to bump this thread after making this chili Sunday morning. Thanks egret, it was fantasmical! Glad you liked it.......and, thank you!
  • Cut the Cowlick down to 1/3rd.......use original Rotel and cut the chile powder down to about 1/2. Also, skip the cocoa powder and add (2) 1 oz. blocks of baker's semi-sweet chocolate. That should tone it down enough for the faint of heart.........
  • Those steaks are perfection! Very well done, even though it looks pretty cold there! Is that a homemade table?
  • Griffin said: Nice lookin batch of bean stew. ;) That would be "Throwdown winning" bean stew!!? :) :)) And, where in Texas do you live?? ;)
  • NecessaryIndulg said: WooHoo! I can't wait to try this! I snagged a little bowl for quality control purposes, and, it'll do!!
  • rtt121 said: I like that.  I bet cheaper than the plywood option too?  How well does it function? Actually, that's not mine........it was a photo some egger (forgot who!) posted a long time ago......he said it was a big help in getting …
  • You mean like these?? :) :)
  • I make home made tortillas all the time, both flour and corn. I don't think doing them on the stone will work. One, you'd have to get the stone very hot, and two, it'll take a lot of lump to do that. Just use a skillet on the range top if you don't …

  • The web site lists the venue as the Crown Plaza Resort, Melbourne, FL............
  • Coming up soon in Melbourne, FL. Here's the link : http://www.sunshinestateeggfest.com/index.html
  • The GA Mt. Eggfest has a Meet and Greet with several eggs set up and a bluegrass band. We also have a pre-Meet and Greet party Thursday night! :) as well as an after-party Saturday night. One big long 3 day party!! :))
  • I wasn't trying to dishearten you by any means. I'm just saying that it's most likely something that happened sometime after the dealer received the shipment. It sounds like the dealer put it together and you picked it up! No.....yes? You didn't men…
