  • Nice setup!  Great addition to the patio.
    in Just Got My Table and XL BGE Set Up Comment by dlk7 April 22
  • I have the AR with woo for my XL.  A ton of versatility and I use it at least 3 times per week.  I use mine for raised direct, raised indirect, with the woo for wokking, and multiple level lo and slo.

  • If you can find Dragon Breath lump, you may change your mind about OO being the best.  Low ash, great for lo and slo as well as hot and fast.

  • +3 on the XL woo2 adjustable rig combo.  If you are a wokker, you may want a bigger wok to fit on the woo.  I also use my half moon raised grid quite often as well - it gives you a raised area for chicken, corn or veggies and then you can cook other…

  • I have 2 XLs, mostly so I can do multi-temp cooks for a lot of people.  I haven't run into a situation yet where I needed more space on either XL.  The XL has a much bigger lower grate which allows you to do direct and indirct by just placing lump o…

  • The digiq DX2 by BBQ Guru attaches a fan to the bottom of your BGE and has temperature probes for the pit temp and food.  The fan goes on and off to maintain the temperatue at the pit probe within a degree or two. http://store.thebbqguru.com/webord…

  • The egg door is fine.  All you have to do is push the expansion clip straight up into the upper track.

  • The expansion clip slides on the top of the fan plate when the logo is on the bottom right hand corner.  It pushes up into the upper track.  I use a screw driver to push it up into the track.  Then you slide the solid door up against the fan plate.

  • Thighs and breasts marinated over night in: 2/3 cup KC Masterpiece Jerk Marinade, 1/3 cup Tiger sauce, and 2 packets of splenda.  Cook raised direct at 350 and it is awesome.  If you are cooking a lot, double the recipe.

  • Red Dog Wine and Spirits in Franklin, TN has it in stock so I stopped by on my way home from work tonight.  They have an open bottle and I was able to taste test.  Amazing taste!  What a treat.  I wish I had the presidential 18 year old to compare.

  • 6 days when we went to Pensacola Beach on vacation last Thanksgiving.  4 days when I was on oxycodone for 2 kidney stones.  Since March 6th, 2012 I've cooked on at least one of my two XLs 372 times.  I love my eggs.
