Took the advice...the Large is here in the Garagebar tonight

Sameydog

I received a lot of good advice, thanks everyone, as to what size my first Egg should be for my use. The large seemed to be the best choice so tonight it was delivered and assembled.

I hope to "break" it in tomorrow, weather is suppose to be nice, and then will do chicken quarters as the first thing to eat from it.

I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

Thanks again all for the advice and film at eleven.

Welcome. Can't wait for pics. If cooking in a garage bar make sure you stay safe from CO.

Welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.  And very perceptive with the "my first egg..."  comment.

Welcome to the forum.

Did a double-take when your thread popped up.  My son's egg was delivered last night and was left in the garage.  I thought it was his thread and he'd goofed in the title.  See, he took the advice of this forum and ended up with an XL.

Enjoy, and welcome!

More information required on this alleged "GarageBar".......

The Egg is outside breaking in. I'm up to 300 degrees so far...slowly.

Here's a couple pictures of both the Garagebar (partial) and the Egg.

Yes. I'm not bad at the mechanics but I have no rhythm. My son can play anything, mostly heavy metal, but I struggle...so go figure. We have five people on my block who are excellent guitar players, and played in bands, with one guy who played with Phil Haley and the Comets. I'm simply a novice compared to these guys.

Of course you can but unless you are in Florida it might be a long drive. I've always had a Garagebar as I believe a man belongs in...a garage.

What up dog ?

Where are you located? I see you have some cigar city action in there which makes me think you're close to Tampa. The large is probably the only good advise you'll get on this forum. The rest is how to spend money you should be saving for retirement.

Congrats on the new egg @Sameydog. You may find that the egg will be hard on your budget... not only more meat but beer too! You have some nice brews in the garagebar.

Welcome.

I'm on the west coast about an hour north of Tampa. It's an old fishing area. And I'm already retired as I don't have a job.  I do fish a couple times a week though.

We have a beer store down the road who stocks some really decent beers. Once in awhile, if I pick up a few dollars doing odd jobs, I'll stop and treat myself to something that isn't Bud Light.

Welcome. Sure would suggest you invest in a "Handler" for your Large to really help insure the moving of it. Have two Larges and both have Handlers. They are about $70 +\-. Note the rear of the Eggs.

Sameydog

Does the "Handler" offset the weight?

I'm not having an issue moving it in and out of the Garagebar but then again it isn't like I've done it more than a couple times.
