u sound like the poolman! except he would never have bought veggies in the first place! hahaha Really, I loved that first recipe. Only cooked it once (so far), but it was VERY tasty!!

Molly, I have a very good potato/leek recipe, but you're gonna have to go to the store! :laugh: I like this a lot! http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Leek-and-Potato-Soup-1922 Here's another from the same site (that I have NOT tried…

Here are a few ideas... http://www.eggheadforum.com/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=55&func=view&catid=1&id=917233 http://www.eggheadforum.com/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=55&func=view&catid=1&…

As said, temp settings vary. Several factors. However, you might try this. Light the lump, top and bottom wide open until temp gets within 25-30° of target, then set the vents as shown in Kent's pics. Nothing "slow" about it, just shut down to those…

I've never bothered to figure out how much MAPP costs me, or how long a tank lasts, but I would be amazed if it's cheaper than... most anything. Starter cubes are quite inexpensive (Rutland brand at the hardware store), paper towels and cooking oil,…

jack, that looks really good! I have to get a grid that size. all i have is an 8" one that I set directly on the coals. never quite large enough! nice cook!
-
looks good, bill. but if mine ever breaks (not likely, since i very rarely use it), i doubt i'll repair it. never use it at all for anything higher than 250°. keep meaning to try a 250° cook without it, but haven't yet. bet it'll work though.
-
well, it looked like a chuck roast and the label said it was a chuck roast. cooked for about 5 hrs, as I recall. at 250° dome. foiled at 170° (though I never do that with a butt) and took it off the egg at 205-210°. let it rest, still in the foil, f…

hahaha. did that a week or so ago with a chuck roast. I had to pull it with a CLEAVER! not even CLOSE to pullable.
-
Hmm, as far as I know, leaving it whole is the only reheating method I haven't tried. I've always pulled it all and refrigerated or frozen leftovers. Tried steaming, vac bag in hot water, nuking, saucepan with and without sauce - even coca-cola too …

I am not a hot weather fan either. But it's summer, so it gets hot. I use the egg because it doesn't heat up the house and because the food's better. I never sit outside and stare at the egg while it's doing it's thing anyway - regardless of the wea…

clear out the fire box? all i ever do is stir the used lump and scoop out the ash (every few cooks) with the ash tool. don't remember when I last took everything out and really cleaned it. just dump new lump on top of old, regardless of what i'm coo…
-
i do that all the time. works fine for me. i never clean out old lump. not even for a lo n slo butt cook.
-
For all of my cooks, 325° and up, I control with lower vent only. Top is wide open (no DFMT at all). For 250° lo n slo, bottom is about 1/16-1/8", top is completely closed except daisy petals open about 1/16". Works for me.
-
excellent post! even if you DO have the "word" Loney in your sig.

heat SUCKS!! 103° here today. ain't natural!!! In winter, I can always put on another layer. in summer, there's only so much i can take OFF. and even THAT'S not enough!! plus, i would get arrested if i went out in public! :laugh:
-
don't bother with it. i never use mine. control temps with bottom vent only. save the dfmt for lo n slo cooks. next 250° cook I do, i'm going to see if even that can be controlled from below. wouldn't be surprised. but if u insist on using it, do…

the only one i really DON'T want to podium is bert. so after today, I'm good. and, yeah, he may well have avoided the meat and plasticizers this year. chicken only!! :laugh:
-
Scott, u should move east. Then, you could sleep til 8!! :laugh: Helluva stage today!!! No way Tommy holds on til Sunday, but I'd LOVE to see it!!! Glad to see Fingerbang GONE!!
-
no way!! the schmucks spend way too much time babysitting each other! One of them needs to go for it - and neither WILL!!

Love le Tour. And Phil and Paul. can't stand Pistolero. Don't really care who wins... unless it's Berto. Hoping for Voeckler (which likely will not happen) or Cadel. A Frenchman has not won the TdF since the Badger. Would love to see Thomas win, …

not a clue. i imagine i was watching it, and listening to walter, but really can't remember. short term memory's gone, i guess. i was in my high school library when i heard jack had been shot though. THAT, i remember.

I used a chimney starter once, right after I got my egg. Temp went to about 8000° in no time. Haven't used it since. There is no point. As others have said, the egg IS a chimney starter and so much more controllable.

the cast iron thing on top. "dual function metal top."

how can you have a seasoning without SALT???!! ain't natural!!!

works fine. don't remember the last time i used it, except for 250° cooks. would probably work there too. before my time, but as I understand it, eggs didn't originally come with dfmts anyway.
-
keep the screw that hold the daisy petal wheel facing the dome handle. or just don't use a DFMT. I don't (except for lo n slo cooks).

If you decide to go with a gasket, I really like the Rutland (using Permatex Ultra Copper as an adhesive. I used item # 91N, 1/4" x 5'16" ROPE. Perfect fit with no stretching or compressing. Here's my mini... It hasn't aged as well as the …
