fairly new

Hello everyone!! I am fairly new to the forum, have been lurking since I got my egg this summer and have finally gotten my login situation worked out so here I am!!!! I see some of you have been egging for quite a while. I feel so inadequate :unsure: but i think time and trial will cover that. I am from just a little NW of San Antonio, Texas, wondering if there are any other eggers from the area? I love my new toy, but finding things a little dry. overcooking?? thats my best guess. Anyhow, once I figure out how to take pictures and post them (yes, i am technically challenged) i will share some cooks with y'all!!

Welcome! Lots of Texas eggers here. I believe Lawn Ranger is from San Antonio.

There is a Masked Stranger riding a Lawn Mower near you.. HI-OH John Deere it's the Lawn Ranger.. Ok that was a bit much... :laugh:


Serious.. no need to feel inadequate we are have all been in your shoes and survived.

For the record under-cooking some cuts of meat will produce a dry product too.

Any rate welcome to the forum..

Ohh look up the meaning of "dork". It might stop you from calling yourself that in the future :woohoo:

welcome aboard
posting pics is not as challenging as it seems or as hard as the written instructions appear..
assume you have a digital camera,,, and know how to get the pictures downloaded into the computer.. after that it is easy.. let us know and we can walk you thru it on the forum or the phone.

Welcome this is a great resource with a lot of great people. A good way to prevent drying food is to cook it to the right internal temperature. The thermapen is a great tool to help with this(i am in no way affiliated).
You may also be doing something that is not ideal. Ask questions and it helps to read many of the great resource floating around. Good luck, Pdub
