Just got my egg (large) last weekend :woohoo:

Like some of you I'm sure, the missus was somewhat dubious - oh, heck - she said I was nuts ! :blink:

THEN she tried a piece of steak....

The reaction "oh... my...god".

I've done ribs as well - fantastic, and smoked some salmon last night.

I'm beginning to think the egg should be kept secret - you know how the govt loves to tax things we enjoy!

... and now back to our show

    Now, I'm searching for a good recipe for making smoked salmon.

    I want to do a whole or half side of the lil fishy, and I have the maple wood chips.

    Nothing fancy, just a straight smoky but moist flavour.

    Of course, the list of what I want to try is endless.

    "go with the green, not in between" !

    Congratulations on your new toy and welcome to the cult. By any chance, does your handle mean that you live in the nation's capital?

    My wife had the same reaction.

    She won't cook on the egg yet - too bad as she's a great cook. Baby steps, she'll come around and then I can supervise. Ha! Ha!

    Welcome, your life will never be the same. :) Trust me it won't take long for you wife to get hooked on this. This is just your first of many eggs. If you go through the member profiles and the cookers they own, you'll be surprised. Very few have only one egg. I never thought I would own more than one. I bought my first large egg last June and I now own 2 large, a small and I have an order in for a mini.
    Oh yeah, and don't forget the eggfests. Never, ever thought I'd be going to one of them. I always thought..."that's insane". Well, since last Oct. I've been to eggfests in Atlanta, Chicago & Ocala. And I'm going to Oklahoma next weekend and Waldorf first week of May. Like I said the fun is just starting.

    Wow - I hope you're not keeping all your eggs in one basket! :laugh:

    Didn't realize that a simple hello would bring so many replies! Great to see so many happy eggers!

    Cheers!

    Welcome aboard! For a great smoked salmon, try a skin-on fillet, brush with olive oil, a little kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, and a few paper thin slices of lemon. Oil the skin and put it on a rack or even a sheet pan. Cook at 250 for an hour with some apple wood for smoke. Very delicate smoke flavor, and the simple spices really let the flavor of the fish shine through. Check out Emeril's dill sauce recipe on foodnetwork.com. It's the bomb with this!
