My first cook and many thanks to everyone on the forum
This thing cooks fantastic!

I've been coming to this site for a long time and have learned so much from everyone here about the in's and out's of cooking on the egg, recipes, and what to do and not to do the learning curve is not going to be very bad. Still played with vents all day trying to get that temp just right but it was fun.
Here are a few pictures from yesterday and thanks again everyone on here for helping to make my first cook a success.

Great cook! Welcome and keep posting.Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
"Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

Outstanding!! Nice table, wish I could say my first cook was anything near as good - I made burgers I was so nervous...
Very Well Done Sir!

BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe.
Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.
