  • I check for marbling. Fat = flavor. Too much and you're not getting as much meat for your money. Too little and the meat may be slightly drier and not quite as flavorful. I look for even marbling through the meat and a nice fat cap. I also agree wi…
  • Awesome pictures. Makes me want a small BGE... and a lake house.
  • I'm near Nashville, sounds good to me.
  • The finished product. I used the broiler in the oven because I don't have a torch, yet. Goes well with a Merlot, or another Guinness. I'm making these again for sure.
  • I gave it a shot. The only thing I changed was I doubled the amount because my ramekins are a little larger. I may have added too much sugar on the top at the end. Otherwise, a huge success! Thanks for the recipe! 
  • I love Guinness, chocolate, and my BGE. This recipe combined all three. I was trying to come up with something different to cook this weekend. I found it, I'm cooking this recipe. Thanks for posting!
  • I think for restaurant owners or caterers, the XXL would be very useful. For me personally, I've been able to cook everything I've wanted to just fine with my large. It's a good point about the weight of the lid. I wonder if adding some kind of cou…
  • That's a beast! I wonder how much it weighs?
  • 122 is fine, it's probably still slowly cooking internally. Just get the heat back up and you're good to go.
  • Those steaks look amazing. I'm going to try your method next time I cook steaks.
  • henapple said: Now, where i live....Middle Tennessee. Known mainly for country music it is a hot spot for all genres. From REM to Jack White to Neil Young Nashville is a hot bed for all music lovers. The Titans and Predators can be seen at a …
  • I can cook some things without keeping an eye on internal temp, but with brisket I would keep a thermometer in it. For that long of a cook, the temp will vary somewhat so it's hard to go strictly by time. Get it up to 190-200 internal temp and let i…
  • There is a Mexican grocery store in Nashville that is always smoking chicken. Smells amazing when you drive past and they taste even better. My Father-in-law is picking up a few of those chickens for a get-together this weekend. So being competitiv…
  • I get mine up to temp without the plate setter. I use an electric starter, once the coals ignite I'll put the grill back in, close the dome with the vents open, and let it heat up to make cleaning the grill easier. I'll then close the vents where I…
  • I paid $800 before tax for the large egg, nest, and plate setter in Tennessee. If the next closest dealer is an hour away, call them and see if they'll offer you a better deal. $900 for a large egg only leaves a lot of negotiating room.

  • I bought my large BGE & Nest for less than what the Grill Dome is going for on their website. I did quite a bit of research on kamado smokers before deciding on a BGE. So far I still feel like I made the right decision. You can tell immediately …

  • Great looking pizzas! Is the dough store bought or did you make it yourself?
  • I just keep it simple. Marinade it overnight in Stubb's Pork Marinade, then smoke it indirect one hour per pound. Not the most creative or experimental, but it's always been a hit with guests.
  • allsid said: Nicely done for a first cook!  Looking forward to other video's and photos as you get going.  One question, I have had bad luck with any woods other than fruit (cherry, apple) on lighter meats.  How was the Hickory?  I would thin…
  • Charlie tuna said: How did you know it was "DONE"?  Without knowing the internal temperature? I chose pork loin for my first BGE cook because I've done quite a few of them on various smokers. I can cook it blindfolded. One hour per pound…
  • I like the tortilla idea. Just regular pizza sauce?
  • We go to Gulf Shores every year with my wife's family right after Christmas. Practically have the beach to our selves, one of my favorite places on Earth. We took a deep sea fishing trip one year. I had a blast, cousin and I both caught a red fish.…
  • Yep, I added new coals and the plate setter was dirty. Still had some marinade from a previous cook on it. I didn't think that would affect the flavor. There also might have been a stray piece of hickory in there too. So apparently I did several thi…
  • My wife knows how much I love chocolate, so she made me a batch of milk chocolate brownie truffles with cinnamon. I was pretty happy. Last year, I found one of those singing hamster things. It was pink, holding a heart, press it's paw and it dances…
  • I've just been grabbing a bag of GreenWise from Publix. Convenient and so far it's performed pretty well.
  • That was my first thought as well. If you're only hitting 410 after using a hair dryer, sounds like something is clogged up. I would pull all the charcoal out of it and make sure all the holes in the bottom are clear. Then clean out all the ash and…
  • That's a lot of accessories included in that price. Think of it this way, would you trade a lifetime warranty for all of those accessories?
  • I bet a hair dryer might thaw it out enough to open without damaging the gasket.
  • Roll Tide! That handle looks great. Where can I get one just like it?
  • I need to find some moose roast somewhere. That would be a very cool challenge! Post some pics when you're done.
