Just purchased large BGE for our new home. It's been 22 years since I have been able to have my own BBQ again. No, not jail, apartment did not allow one on your balcony.
I have never had so much fun buying and using a BBQ before.
Did my pre-burn. And then first cook of two porterhouse steaks and baked potatoes. I actually used BGE suggestions of 650: 3 minutes-flip/3 minutes-flip/shut down. 4 minutes later one was perfect rare-MR. Another 5 minutes-perfect for our guests MR+.
Now I can fixate on accessories and other details. I know this forum will be helpful and fun.
More to come.. Jon..new Eggstatic Egghead.

Welcome! I appreciate you clarifying that you weren’t in jail for 22 years, but without your own BBQ … it may have felt like it!

It’s not too late to run! This is a rough crowd who will spend all your money, drink all
your beer, and steal your women.
(They will also help you at 2am when a cook goes sideways, invite you to some crazy parties/events, and send you cool stuff in the mail)Maybe your purpose in life is only to serve as an example for others? - LPL
