I bought one a couple of months ago when they were on sale and it has definitely been worth it! It would've been worth it if I paid full price for it, too! When I told my wife I needed this, she said "You need ANOTHER thermometer?" But the Thermapen…
We went back and forth trying to decide between chest and upright but that's the reason why we went with the upright - didn't want to always have to dig through stuff!
Finally got around to making this last night. It was a real winner! This being my first pork tenderloin (besides a pre-marinated one I did from Kroger once), I was surprised when I opened the package and the tenderloin was in two pieces! I thought i…
I feel your pain. My dealer charged my wife for Nest ($150) when she went to buy me a Mate ($75) for Christmas. She didn't know how much it was supposed to cost, so she didn't catch it. I just happened to ask her how much it was and when she told me…
Thanks, guys. I really wanted to blame the meat, so this makes me feel better! I usually get ribeyes but thought this was too good of a deal to pass up.
Haven't needed to replace my gasket yet but when I do, I'll put some around the top of the Egg.…
I have the new one - with the gold embroidered logo. I took it off yesterday after being on there for 3-4 days and was surprised to see moisture on the inside. I did have the bottom vent closed - will try leaving it open a little as @gdawgs24 sugges…
Going to try my first Maple Bourbon Ham! But we're traveling so I won't have my Egg. Will do it on a regular charcoal smoker, instead. Will be my first non-Egg cook since I got my Egg back in June.
Sounds like I need to look elsewhere besides Kroger. I think everything I was looking at was geared more for turkeys - therefore, taller. And around $3-4 each! I actually used one yesterday to cook a turkey but not with the turkey in the pan. I had …
I first had food cooked off one 15 years ago (was in high school) and remembered it being the most incredible meal. I swore to myself that I would get one someday. I would always go to stores that sold them and "window shop". Finally got one this pa…
So it sounds like they are going to do just fine if the fire gets up around 250. I think I'll try to allow a wider gap next time. I really want to learn how to do it manually rather than getting a stoker - although they ARE pretty tempting! Thanks f…
Haha - I hadn't really added up all of the hours yet either when I was cooking. Didn't know it would take 5 1/2 hours but it was all worth it! Best of luck!
I was very pleased with the turnout! Moist, smoky, tender, sweet...very good! I used Butt Rub for the rub and Sticky Fingers Carolina Sweet for the sauce. Wish I had Dizzy Pig and Blues Hog - aren't any dealers local, so I'd have to order online. Gi…
I think that's what I'm going to do. I haven't done anything with a raised grid before. When you do that (without an aftermarket adjustable grid), do you have to have two grids - one lower with bricks or something on to elevate the other one - or ca…
I will definitely try again! It makes me a little nervous for thanksgiving when I am going to be responsible for the turkey. I will have to practice some before then so it's not a flop! That would be a bad day to mess up...
Thanks again for the help!
Thanks for the input, everyone! It could be that I'm just not used to the texture. But I've grilled some chicken breasts before and didn't notice it. Maybe "rubbery" is a better word to use. It's possible that my thermometer was off - the battery wa…
