    Heck yeah! Eat more pickles. That looks fantastic. Of course, you could make your own pickle brine and use that if you can't eat that many pickles. =)

    Brother Dyal, I missed this when it was originally posted. Looking at the date it was posted when I was offshore working night shift on BP Thunder Horse South Deep Water Project. But I have seen it now my friend. 
    Simply awesome from take off to touchdown. As such:

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    You go girl! That is outstanding. 
    I fry on the Mini all the time (never the Larges).

    Dang those look good!  For frying like this, or any other cook with the lid up, do you have any control over the temperature?  With the lid up, does the air vent at the bottom still have any affect?  How do you keep the oil from getting too hot?  Thanks!
    Of all the lies I tell, "Just kidding" is my favorite.

    I was wondering the exact same thing. My large egg turns into a raging inferno if I leave the lid open for too long.

    But I'm definitely saving pickle juice from now on!

    I keep an eye on the oil temp with the thermapen. After adding the meat, the temp drops pretty fast.  It takes it a little while for the temp to creep back up on the mini. If it looks like the temp is getting too hot, the CI pan has a handle, so I just take it off the mini for little bit. It's all about getting a feel for it I guess.

    @Dyal_SC Just curios on how much lump you light up to start with?
               And what you let the fire/lump get to?
    Thanks for sharing this. I bumped this one up on my Egging bucket list!

    Thx guys!  @Hotch, I load the mini like I normally would to the top of the fire bowl. I light it up and then place the pan on top without getting to any target temp. The lid stays open the whole time. The oil has never gotten nuclear in me. There isn't really too much airflow getting to the coals to allow for it, plus the meat cools the oil down. If it does get too hot, you can just take it off.
