Call me whatever you want! I love my egg and I do take a little crap from people saying that's the only thing I know how to cook on. I think that's true however!

Now that is a good way to improvise, however that has to be somewhat expensive to run lol

We all get spoiled using the Egg all the time! I don't mind pulled pork from the crock pot either, but when I eat it you can just taste it is missing that grilled taste. In my opinion it tastes a little bland without it being cooked on the Egg or at…

I don't cook brisket that often. Last time I cooked it it took me 14 hours and it was not even that big. I cooked it about 225-250 and I was surprised it was locked into that temp for the entire time. It turned out very well! I was impressed!!

LeoHat2 said: /delurk I'm confused. you have a Dome AND a Base? What's missing? Do you have a hinge? Firebox? I made a cold smoke rig out of a soldering iron and small paint can (new can from HW store). I am assuming BGE is go…

I have never noticed the cap to want to fall off my egg and I opened it up with force without problem. Maybe I should watch it, but again I guess I don't open my egg that much with the cap on since that means I am not cooking lol.

I was cooking burgers direct one day and we all know you get that grease dripping and the fire can really go crazy. I opened it like normal 3 or 4 times up and down and the fire just flashed up fast and a big ball of fire came out. It was cool, but …

I was using Cowboy for a long time, but tried Weekend warrior and the price is about $10 to $8 more per bag pending if Cowboy is on sale, but I think overall Weekend Warrior is just a better lump. The Cowboy lump seems to have an odd odor and just b…

Wow I really like that! P.S. your dome is very clean on the inside haha
-
Well I do think it fits the same on either side, I do believe there are 2 rods that go across the grate "on the bottom" that rise up a bit while the top is smooth and all the rods go in the same way if that makes sense.
-
The only way is to take the grate off and anything else you have set up and just add more I just dump more on top of the hot coals and it lights up quick. The hardest part and a true negative if you do in fact start to run out of charcoal is that yo…

I agree with the above post. However you can check like he said, but remember you should always cook to temp not time.
-
Man and I was thinking my heating bills were high last month and the temp was average around 30 haha. -22C is just too cold for me ;) Good luck and enjoy!
-
I don't really use them anymore. Chrome does the auto fill so well I hardly have to type much of the site I want to go to and it takes me right there. Quicker then finding the correct bookmark
-
I would scrub it down and season it the correct way. I think I have the same cast iron pan and I have not had any issues, however I never cooked beans in it yet.
-
What temp did you cook it at? Looks good, but almost looks like the bottom cooked too fast and the top did not have enough time to brown up like the cheese.

On my small I use 2 starter cubes, I then let it burn in a fire starter for a little bit then I pour the coals into the egg. I shut the dome and I don't use the top vent I just leave it wide open. I then just close the bottom vent almost all the way…
-
Why right on the coals? You really need it so crazy hot 2-3 inches off the coals is not good enough? I guess I just fail to see the point?
-
BOWHUNR said: I use my small all the time, but it is a pain to get it over 500 degrees, even with a High-Que grate. I'm not sure why it is so much easier to get a large or a mini up to high temp? It has to be something to do with shape and …

Cook anything you like in the egg. It can cook anything and chicken/turkey do great along with pork, and beef :D
-
I wish you the best of luck. I really hope you can do it for the sake of doing it and all the money spent on the meats. However trying to do that much cooking on only one Egg in my opinion I think is crazy.
-
While I understand why people buy more then one egg, I don't understand why people buy so many bags of lump. I buy 1 or 2 bags when on sale and when I am getting low I just go get more. I also would have no where to store that much.
-
Same idea at the same time. Funny stuff
-
What about putting a dome gasket around the hole. Then drop the egg in and boom problem solved.
-
I cooked 3 racks cut in half before with using the V rack and stacking how I could to make it work. They turned out really good!!
-
Well I think it did because burning regular wood in the Egg I just don't think would be a great idea.
