Any recommendations for breaking in a new Mini? I'm off to the store in about two hours and I've got a hankering to fire it up. [p]Thanks![p]GrillMeister

Bone in chicken breast,steaks or thick pork chops are always good on the mini egg.You will have alot of fun with the mini Ed.

GrillMeister

YB,[p]Is that a raised grid on your mini? How'd you do it?[p]How'd did you cook the chops? Thanks!

GrillMeister

Chubby,[p]Hmmmm. That's a hunk of cow! How's the dwell on a mini?

YB

GrillMeister,
Yes that is a raised grid.I had a sheet metal shop make me a stainless steel ring 9"x1-1/2"x1/8" it works great.You turn the first grid upside down and put ring on and then put the top grid on the ring.I cook the pork chops at 350 degrees until they reach 140 and wrap in foil for about 10 minutes.Here is a better picture of the raised grid.

<p />Here's the sear! I made a trip to Costco with the in-laws and I could not resist their NY Strips. [p]The mini is great. I used left over lump that I've been saving when I clean out my eggs for long lo-n-slo overnight cooks. I think it took a a bit longer to get up to temp with old lump, but it worked great nontheless. It makes great use of leftover lump, it's quick and it's cool. They should call this the George Foreman BGE!

GrillMeister

<p />Here they are after the dwell.

YB

GrillMeister,
Those really look good.
Larry

GrillMeister

YB,[p]Thanks! They were quite tasty too! It's probably giving MollyShark fits over there in foggy London. LOL.

GrillMeister

YB,[p]Cool! Think that guy will make another?

YB

GrillMeister,
I will ask him.
Larry

GrillMeister

YB,[p]Super! I'll take one if he'll do it.[p]Thanks![p]Ed

Man, Ed, between you, Chubby, and Mark Backer, I don't know who is going to drive me to insanity first. I'm going on day 3 of a 4-night-in-a-row-eat-at-other-people's-houses-who-don't-own-Eggs marathon and it's about to kill me seeing all y'all's pics of flames and sear marks. Somebody save me![p]TRex

GrillMeister

TRex,[p]Ya could always take your Mini with you. I'm gonna build an EggTransporter for my Mini just for that reason. It makes it easy to spread the word.

Mark Backer

YB,[p]I think there are about ten of us that just bought mini's off ebay that would be interested. Maybe, if you wouldn't mind, you could ask the guy to figure out a price and I'm sure most (if not all) of us would be happy to pay him for making such a great egg-cessory.[p]Thanks in advance for trying.

Mark Backer

TRex,[p]Next time you're in atlanta, you and the wife oughta give us a ring. I'd be happy to cook you a proper meal here.[p]

TRex

I will certainly keep that in mind, Todd. Thank you kindly for the generous invitation. [p]Hope to meet you and your wife at the next Eggtoberfest, if not sooner . . .[p]Jason

YB

Mark Backer,
I know it will be after the first of the year but I will see what I can do.
Larry

Mark Backer

YB,[p]No rush. And if can't or doesn't want to, I totally understand. Thanks for even asking him on my (our) behalf...
