"I’m not a fan" of the BGE

billyray · March 2020

I sent this to Meathead awhile back to show my 2 zone set up on the BGE. Actually, I guess you would call this a 2 temperature set up, but it accomplishes the same result. This set up only takes a few seconds and isn't a pain at all. His response was "beautiful". Here's one of my favorite things to cook. Whole ribeye cap. I bought a whole primal cut prime ribeye from Costco awhile back and separated the cap from the eye, trim it up and rolled and tied it and into the freezer. After thawing, I untied it and dry brined for several hours in the frig. (1/2 tsp kosher salt per lb. of meat) I set up the BGE with the AR rig and put the grill gates, smooth side up down low, to sear on later. Rub the cap with Worcestershire and seasoned with Oakridge BBQ's Spogos, a little spay of duck fat and cooked @ 300 for about 30 minutes, flipping several times. I then pulled it about 120, removed the top grate, spayed a little duck fat on the grill gates and got the fire roaring. Decided to put a little Oakridge BBQ's Carne Crosta on the meat before searing. This is really a great tasting piece of meat, Our Costco sometimes has the cap tied up as individual pin wheel shaped steaks, about 2" wide. I'll get these sometimes and untie them, roll them out and cook hot and fast.
