First week of cooking on the Egg

Well, after the first week of cooking, I have learned a lot. I have smoked a turkey breat, pork lion and cooked chicken breast and last night tried a brisket. I believe the brisket is considered a flat and picture of the finished product is below. The brisket was a little dry but part of that was due to the cut as the butcher had trimmed nearly all the fat off. Used a little of the Dead Guy BBQ sauce that I whipped up with slight modification and the family loved it. The only problem I see is we are cooking so much that leftovers are starting to pile up.

    Sounds like a good problem.

    Nice thing with BBQ, it freezes nicely.

    Here here. I am on meat/chicken overload too. Thats what happens when you get something as good as an BGE.

    Reading this fourm doesn't help either when you see pictures of everyone's excellent cooks then I say I what to try/eat that too.

    The wife and I just had brisket and egg breakfast sandwiches. Get creative and you can find some great ways to use your leftovers. :D

    Welcome to the forum ... yep, forgot to tell you about the pile up of left overs didn't they.

    I notice you're in the right town (Washington), but wrong state (MO) ...

    @BigKlu - you're off to a great start! If you like your neighbors, pass 'em some leftovers. Your leftovers are likely better than most of the stuff they are cooking on their own.  :D
