Egg\'in in the Rain

1st5

Yeah, I know it's only rain compared to some of you who are back in the blizzards in the last few days...but heck, I live in Sonoma County, California, so the closest we get to weather is a big rain storm. We are in the middle of our biggest yet. But that doesn't slow me down. Especially when I have a new cooking unit to play with!



After work I went to the store and picked up a bottle of Simi Cabernet and a nice Ribeye. Those along with some potatos, green beans and a half an onion were my plan for dinner.



I put the potatos and the onion in foil pans and set them on the egg at 450 for a bit. After those had been cooking nicely I increased the heat up to about 550, took off the taters and onions and threw the steak on the grill



Two minutes and flipped it...



Here's a peek through the top vent. Pretty cool picture I think...



Two more minutes, another flip and two more then off. Right before taking the steak off to rest I reduced the heat back to 450 and put the onions and taters back on while the steak rested...



Here's an after shot...



So far I've had it for four days and cooked up something each day. I'm happy.

My buddy and I are getting together Saturday and we'll smoke up some large cuts of wild hog. At this rate I'll need to go pig hunting soon.

Good to see another Bay Area Egger.

Hopefully we will see you at the Eggs by the Bay Eggfest in June.

Is there going to be more information coming out about the Eggs by the Bay?

This is something you DO NOT want to miss especially since you are so close. This will be my sixth year and Smitty runs a wonderful event.

Looks great, 1st5. My favorite cut of steak. I remember when mine was that white, but then again, mine is only like a month old. Way to be a trooper in the rain. That might be me tonight if the rain doesn't clear here in Big D.

You can go to his web site Eggsbythebay.com and get all the info there. Great looking cook by the way and welcome to the forum. My wife and I will be attending Eggs By The Bay this year, hopefully we will see you there.

The balance of the umbrella in one hand and the glass of wine in the other shows that while you may be new to the forum, you are not new to balancing life's essentials!
