another newbie egg owner!!!

alabama_egg · July 2013

ok, after years of wanting one, today I am the proud new owner of a large green egg. I picked it up from the dealer already assembled and when I get home from work the first smoke will take place. The whole family is excited and needless to say, I am too!

Oh, also.

Often times as people start to get active with their new Egg's and cooking on one - there are common questions. I thought it would be helpful if I provided answers to the top 5 common questions new Egg Owners have. Will save considerable time. Here goes.

1. Yes

2. Yes

3. Sometimes, depends on the mood of the wife

4. No

5. Yeah, I do believe CenTex really did do that.

Just kidding - fire away with questions and answers - that's what this forum is all about.

Welcome aboard and welcome to the cult! It is been less than a year for me and I can still remember how good I felt when my new Large was set up and at home with me. You're in for a lot of fun cooks and a lot of great meals. Congratulations.

Welcome, You will love it here and you will become a better cook!

I am considering a XL or Large. Will be my first. Several people gave excellent suggestions. Just wondering about your decision to go XL. Number you usually cook for, etc. Thanks, MT332

Welcome aboard. And since it hasn't been said, enjoy the journey!

Welcome....

alabama_egg · July 2013

OK, we enjoyed some chicken on the first cook. I think I threw it on too early but it still turned out great! Not a single bite leftover! 400* for 1 hour - direct heat. Prob try indirect next time I cook this.

Feel free to critique!

six_egg · July 2013

Welcome aboard and nice looking food. If I had to add a criticism I would say your egg is way to white get to cooking

boatbum · July 2013

I love your grill support - looks very similar to mine ....

You made a great choice buying the egg prebuilt. I have an XL and it was one of the worst things I've ever had to put together.... and that includes kids toys with 6,000 pieces and only pictures for instructions.
