1st day success/thanks

Chuck

Had a great 1st day with my BGE. Started out with some chicken breast smoked with some sugar maple. It was juicy, tender, and smokey. With all the great advise i've been getting here, i got pretty bold (or maybe crazy) and had 11 people over for dinner. 1st did baked potatos for an hour at about 325, then did 7 nice porterhouse steaks. They were the best steaks i've ever eaten. Thanks everyone for the information, its clear that you all really want to help. I'm glad to be a part of the "family".

Chuck, Sounds like a great meal! If you are like me, you look for any excuse to cook that you can! Not only a great excuse to see friends, but hearing "the best I have ever had" really makes it all worthwhile. [p]You have a unique set of experiences yourself, and will be able to contribute in ways you never knew. One of the reasons that this forum is what it is, is the varied knowledge available here every day. Many great ideas have been presented by newbies....one example Fireball and his citrus-splash-as-a-marinade brainstorm. There are many other instances.[p]Glad to have you aboard.
