  • My dealers price was pretty close to that with the nest (I didn't want the nest). The whole reason I went with the BGE over a Kamodo Joe, Bayou Classic or similar Ceramic cooker was the Big Green Egg warranty.
  • Print each recipie in the order that you want them to appear to a .pdf writer (I use Primo PDF and it works great). Once you print the first file and name it, save each subsequent file to the same file and "append" it. You'll end up with one large .…
  • Bring one of those awesome fish in your profile pic and it's a deal. :D

  • WiltOnTilt said: @Parallel Did you get the heat cranked up? How did it turn out? Did you like the dizzy dust? I haven't tried it yet. Yep, I bumped the BGE up to 275° (it creeped up to 282° as it broke the plateau) and it finished with…
  • Right now I'm at 241° grill level and I've been at 174° internal temp for a while now. I struggled all night to stabize the temperature. The Maverick alarmed a half dozen times during the night because the temp went out of spec. Should I bump it up …
  • The table nest and/or following BGE recommendations eliminates that issue as well.
  • Scottborasjr said: I'm not going to question @fishlessman because he has more eggsperience then all of us put together, but the theory is that the ceramic expands as it gets hot so if you have a table cut to barely put the egg in it it could be d…
  • The first eight pound Boston butt was rubbed with Dizzy Dust Course (my first time using Dizzy Dust). Then the second eight pound Boston butt came out of the mojo marinade and they both went on the 250° BGE.
  • FOFB, I'm just West of the New Orleans Metro area (the place that flooded six months ago). Wilt, I hope it doesn't take that long, I figured 1.5 hours per lb and the last time I did a low and slow (admittedly my FIRST low and slow) they finished …
  • Thanks for the tip Doc. We've sprung for a private room so that I can be with her to help take care of her.
  • Mrs Parallel is scheduled for surgery on March 25. There's a fair chance the surgery can be done laparoscopic and robot-assisted, but the surgeon will make that call during the procedure. There is a 75% chance that she will NOT need radiation…
  • Thank you all so much for the prayers and well wishes. The good news is that she already has an appointment to see the gynecologic oncologist. I'm home today to take her to her appointment.
  • tjv said: I always figured, if you keep fiddling, you got problems or are not confident in what your doing....... t On the contrary; for the typical supermarket ribeye (3/4" thick) I cook for two minutes, flip, cook for two more minutes …
  • That cat looks like it thinks it might be next... LOL.
  • We used to do something similar, but then the other spice ratio is off.
  • Very nice. I'm going to need to try doing more veggies on the BGE as my midsection is getting out of hand (well.. out of shirt really... :)) ).
  • As I'm still relatively new to the BGE culture; is having an old fire ring an issue, or is the new one better in some respect?
  • No... but it might have made it easier to get them to "fan out". I did rinse them to keep the starch from sticking the slices together.
  • Hmmmm... I find that by the time I get enough heat with Tony Chachere's the food is then too salty. I was given a sample bottle of Red Claw Cajun Seasoning by the guy who developed and markets it. His sons and my son are taking karate together and w…
  • I just use oil on napkins then blow air into the egg with my air compressor until it's burning the way I want it to.
  • I still use it on those hectic weeknights when we don't have the time to wait for the BGE to come to temperature, not to mention I like the fact that it has a side burner. I'm smack in the middle of Hurricane country and used it extensively during H…
  • After all of my hand wringing it turns out that Dizzy Pig Tsunami Spin goes very well with the Thia sauce that we glazed the ribs with. I did use a spray bottle with some apple juice each hour as well as a tsp in each foil pouch the last hour.
  • Ummm... where I come from "wangs" means something totally different EVEN on a Sunday night. :-&
  • I forgot to add that the potatoes were cooked indirect...
  • Th potatoes were cooked in the BGE at 400° for about an hour then they came off and went into a 200° oven to keep them hot while the BGE was brought up to temp for the steaks. The garlic wasn't put on the potatoes until the last 15 minutes and the …
  • I'd use a gasser for charbroiled oysters as done Dragos style they're VERY messy.
  • I can dig the K.I.S.S. method... but I think that when faced with the thickest steaks a bit more thought and technique is a good thing.
  • Lookin' good (or I dare say delicious).
  • Thanks for the replies. I had let it get over 800° with the swing rack in it so I likely would have had to re-season it anyways.
  • I guess due to our geography I've not had to deal with this phenomena... :)) My boy was eating the little new potatoes from the crawfish boil we had on his first birthday (those of you who have had a proper Southern Louisiana crawfish boil KNOW wh…
