Amazing

Just got an XL egg a couple of days ago. Been playing with temp control. Tonight I wanted to simulate a smoke temp. Lite fire and 20 minutes later I had lid shut, daisy wheel set, bottom vent set with temp approaching 200. Set everything based upon some other threads and 3 hours later temp is still holding 230--250. To me this is awesome. Done fighting other smokers every 30 minutes trying to get to temp. These eggs are the real deal!

Welcome to the club, I would recommend a remote temp thermometer for overnights, just for added sleep security.

Best way to figure out temp, just fire it up! I did the same with my small to learn the difference from my large. We like pictures here so throw some meat on and share a post. Welcome to the obsession..

Welcome aboard! Now you can spend time with your family instead of tending to your pit. However, I'm sure some still kick back with a cold beverage and watch paint dry.

What he said. Then again, only go halfway.... Pretend the egg takes a little more work than it really does. That way you can screw around on the forum with us.

Welcome.  Just wait until you taste the food you cook.  You'll stop eating out as often for sure.

Nice to have you. Can't wait to see pics of your cooks in the future.

I also just bought a XL last week. Did my first baby back ribs yesterday turned out great. No problem with the temp. Look forward to doing a low and slow ovrnight packer.

Kinda funny because now I am struggling around the 5-6 hour mark. Gonna get it though.
