Eggsplain sumpin' to me

What is the main use of an Egg, grilling or smoking, or...?
From reading some posts here, it seems most people grill, fewer smoke.

Howard,
That's the beautiful thing about the Egg. You can do both. Personally I grill a couple of times a week and smoke at least once a week. A typical week for me is burgers one night, steak one night during the week and smoke ribs or butt on the weekend.

Howard,
You can do jerkey at 180-200 degrees. You can smoke pulled pork at 225-250 degrees. You can roast chickens, roasts, etc. at 350 degrees. You can do pizza at 550-650 degrees. You can sear steaks at 800 degrees. You can make naan bread. You can make atomic buffalo turds. You can make squid. Darryl says you can do a duck, but I'd have to see a photo to believe it.... You can make anything you want on it, pretty much.[p]TNW

Citizen Q

Howard,
On schoolnights, you'll find more grilling going on due to time constraints, but the weekends are for smoking when you don't mind so much stayin up late and getting up early to monitor the temp. When a brisket or shoulder can take upwards of 18 hours and a meaty rack of ribs need about 5 hours to cook up right, it just doesn't seem feasible to Q after work on a Wednesday night when a nice juicy Porterhouse or honey bourbon salmon steak can be yours just 30 or 40 minutes after firing up the grill.[p]It sounds like you might be shopping, if so, you really can't go wrong with an Egg.[p]Good Luck and Good Q,

Howard,Baking bread. Brick oven style pizza [best you ever had!], smoked meats that are incredibly more moist than any meats you ever tasted in your life, jerky, grilled high temperature steaks, unlike any gas grilled or charcoal cooker has ever turned out... an incredible piece of equipment, MR. EGG.And did I say efficient? Hardly uses any charcoal, even at 15 degrees.

<p />Howard,
I bought mine for the purpose of ribs. I was tired of adding charcoal and babysitting.
Love my BGE for temp control, steaks, chicken, scallops, and keep going.[p]CWM

Howard,
You can even smoke cheese...and these bitter cold temps are perfect for that. Bought a big block of Vermont cheddar that I am gonna try and smoke this weekend....djm style.[p]Wish I had a picture!

Howard,
Perhaps it is that more folks grill than smoke... Personally I think it's what was said below - smoking takes time that's just not available during the week. [p]I probably spend more time smoking than grilling. But if you look at number of cooks, I grill more than I smoke (5 evenings for grilling, only 2 days for smoking).[p]The beauty part is that one cooker lets me do both, and baking besides.
