My 1st Cooks on the LBGE
Bacon wrapped Pork Loin and four door county cherry marinated pork tenderloins. Everything was done indirect at 240. Loin took about 5 hours and the tenderloins took about 2 hours. Both were excellent! My young kids aren't big meat eaters and they both gobbled up the tenderloin. I don't know if I would wrap the loin in bacon again because it didn't seem to add much (other than the fact that the bacon tasted great!)
I tried the TRex method on the beef tenderloins. (Sorry-no post cook pics) SWMBO and I both like medium rare. I overcooked these to medium to medium well which didn't make me happy. The butcher also screwed me up by butterflying the steaks so I had to try to hold them together with toothpicks.
I'm having a blast using this thing! I picked up some chickens and butts to try out next and hope to try the CyberQ on the butts.

Welcome, very ambitious first cook and you nailed it!Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

I also burnt the hell out of my asparagas. Any recommendations for how long you would cook veggies like this. Everything I read seemed to indicate that it would take quite a while. Any tips on times would be much appreciated!XL BGE; CyberQ Wifi; Adjustable Rig, Woo2 Green Bay, Wisconsin

Congrats on the new egg, you off to a great start. I cook asparagus raised direct @ 350-400 till its tender, doesn't take long and is easy to over cook. Have fun!

I cook similar to yellow dog.I also put a piece of foil over the tips after a couple minutes to prevent burning.Not individually, I put bamboo skewers through about a dozen, with spaces and cover.Bx - > NJ ->TX!!!All to get cheaper brisket!

Thanks. I like the foil idea to keep the tips nice!XL BGE; CyberQ Wifi; Adjustable Rig, Woo2 Green Bay, Wisconsin

Off and running with your first couple of cooks! =D>Welcome to the obsession!For asparagus I usually throw it on as the meat is resting and just do it for 4-5 mins then flip for another 4 mins or so. it depends on how close to the fire you are and how hot. I also got these grill clips for Christmas and they work great as holders (not that there is anything wrong with bacon=P~) You can always pick one and try it and if it isn't done yet you can throw them back on.Large & Small BGE, CGW Two-Tier Swing Rack for BOTH EGGS, Spider for the Wok, eggCARTen & and Cedar Pergola my Eggs call home in Edmond, OK.

@Solson005... must be pretty windy where you are if you need something to keep the asparagus in place---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada
