That’s for sure. I always enjoy both the cook and the meal. Yours looks great.

That looks delicious. It's been a couple of months since I made paella, but will have to do it this coming weekend.

Yes, sorry for the lack of photos. I set the paella pan on the stock grid.

I’m been wanting to try paella for awhile now , and I know zilch .  Does any Paella pan work or does there need to be a special one for the BGE? And I assume u set it up indirect and set the pan on the grate ? Thanks

Here's a link to all you need to know to get rolling-
http://www.nakedwhiz.com/paella/paella.htm  The cook is high heat direct as noted in the link.
No special pan-just one that fits.  I was fortunate enough to get steered to a paella pan with vertical handles compliments of Little Steven sold by Typhoon-I don't think this pan is available on this side of the pond now.  But if you can find one it is a great pan to maximize the cooking surface.  FWIW-

The MB pans have vertical handles but they are a lot more $pendy than most other paella pans:

Nothing special about the paella pan, other than it needs to fit in the space available on the Egg which isn't huge (relative to many paella pans), so watch out for the size WITH HANDLES FACTORED IN.  Also...no wood handles for obvious reasons.

@lentsboy007 I use this pan for paella on the egg:

It's also one of my go-to pans for many other cooks.
