First Cook

First cook on the XL BGE ... New York Strip and Tuscan Herb Potatoes with fresh Rosemary!! Tossed the potatoes in some Tuscan Herbed Olive Oil and roasted at 400 degrees in a black iron skillet for 2O min then tossed in the fresh rosemary and roasted for on other 30 min. Pulled the fries and throttled the egg up to 750 seared the steak for about 2 min a side. Delicious!! The wife was thoroughly impressed that it didn’t take any longer from lighting the first coal till dinner was on the table than it used to on the Weber gasser.. it was actually quicker! She was also impressed with dinner!

Great looking taters and steak! The XL BGE is awesome. I use my XL more than my Large BGEs. I just love the additional cooking surface.
Cheers and keep sharing your cooks.I think it's time for another beer!

Thanks All for the gracious comments... I look forward to a long run and lots of cool discussions about Cooking, Egging, Auburn Football National Championships and everything in between! WDE!

It's about time to fire Auburn's head coach now that Chizik is off the payroll. It wouldn't be Auburn Football unless they have at least one former coach they are on the hook for millions. One good season and Auburn will write a blank check.

DoubleEgger Unfortunately you're right... but at this point I'm just hopping that if they do keep Gus around he won't try playing the QB rotation scheme again, so maybe we can develop a solid QB that will last for a couple of seasons! WDE!
