Swordfish on The Egg: Marinate or Dry-rub - which do you prefer?
Greetings Eggers - Living in Metro-West Boston, I have access to all sorts of seafood. Swordfish is a favorite, and I have tried marinating as well as dry-rubbing (with Old Bay). My Dad used to wrap it in salt pork to add flavor and protect the fish: he often had the heat too high :-) I have found dry-rubbing keeps the…

Charcoal for Long vs Hot Cooks - do you use different coals?
Greetings all, My everyday charcoal is Jelous Devil: lumps seem consistent and work well at high or low temps. However, I did a long cook (18+ hours) in my Large Egg and it burned out. My question: is there a charcoal you use for long cooks or is 18 hours about the time I will get out of a Large?

Best Finish for a Acacia Wood table?
Greetings all, My table is just over a year old and the MA weather is starting to take a toll. After a bit of sanding, what do you recommend using to protect it? The place where I bought it says "food-safe mineral oil" but that does not seem durable. What are you using on your tables? Thank you!

XXL
Thinking of selling my XXL, I haven’t fired it up in a long time. I use my L or my independent smoker for bigger smokes. It’s been a long time since I’ve been on, I thought there was a classified section in the forums. Located near Pittsburgh. Please delete of not allowed. Thanks!

Quick Light™ Kit - Burning from the bottom up?
I got an email from Big Green Egg about the new accessory. It looks interesting but I was wondering about the impact of starting the fire from the bottom rather than from the top. I will admit I don't have a clue whether it makes a difference. When I grill I usually fill the egg up and then place a starter (or two)…

Friday night and the EggHead Forum option of the forum choices is eerie quiet- I need to get a life!
The title says it all. Chasing the end of the not so endless summer comes to mind. Guilty here as no BGE cook rolling tonight and playing with live fire Saturday. Surely Friday night shenanigans are on the horizon. Edit for fat finger correction.

OT - For Car Lovers: Some Recent Exotic Spottings
Have come across quite a few exotics/fun cars as of late - many of which I had previously only seen on paper/monitors. I have always loved cars but have never owned anything too extravagant. A 2011 5.0 was my wildest buy to date, and I suspect the future holds only family-appropriate vehicles, so the sun may have set on…
