i recently purchased the bge ,and so far ,i'm very disappointed,and confused. what is wrong with you eggheads the temps that the owners manual are calling for are baking temps not bbqing or smoking .smoking temp is 225-250,not 350 you are baking at this temp,i.e. bread pies roasts. bbq is done slow and low .itried ribs and they were not falling off the bone done as they should be after 3-1/2 hours.if this is infact abaking tool,then i coukld have done them in my kitchen oven and saved$1100.00. i am going to attempt a brisket tonight, any suggestions from you eggheads on what temp and for how long i should cook a 8 lb brisket and should i use the plate setter or directly on the grill plz any info is appreciated

There's plenty of owners here who smoke at 225.

What temps were you cooking at?

Hang around and you will not be dissapointed in the results and options allowed. So far this week I have done St louis spares-250 5 hours, chicken thighs and drumsticks-350--seafood paella 350, last night meat loaf 350, rib eyes 600F, egret ham spiral cut 250F. I have 4 BGEs and love them all.
Besides here in Florida in the summer I do not heat up my kitchen. Welcome to the "CULT"

I'll give you $500 for it, and you can cut your losses.

Do like Richard says, and hang around here for awhile.
I don't have the manual, so I don't know what it says, just read, read, and read on this forum. Ask questions, you will get quick responses.

Brisket is a long cook, do a search of the forum for pages and pages regarding brisket cooks on the egg. Here is a tutorial from one of our members on how to cook a brisket on the egg:

Find an eggfest to go to. You will learn alot about egg cooking at an eggfest.

Good Luck. I know you will enjoy the egg.

There you go feeding the trolls just like me. Better get another pomegranate martini to deal with this trauma. Have a fun weekend.

Richard, I am going to make one right now. You have a good weekend, too.

I'm curious as to why you felt the need to post your rant twice. The only difference I see is that this time you left off what glorious results you *always* achieve with your 'other smoker'.
- but -
Such a polite request still deserves a straight up answer.
Cook using the same temps and methods you have been with your other smoker and you should see similar results. The difference will be less tending, less fuel used, and in most cases a moister finished product.
As to time; if you’ve been cooking to a timer, you can not have been seeing the consistently good results you allude to. Always cook to temp.

We need to get them into the club first.

Then we can get them started with a LOONEYTINI.



We can follow it up with LOONEY STUFFED CLAM Shells.



Next is side dish LOONEY Macaroni. No pics yet

Then the main course.




Working on a dessert, any ideas?? LOONEY cheese cake comes to mind!

This BBQ was done at 400° in the egg.





I've done bbq chicken at 500° and it turns out this moist in the egg.



"waste of money" - not to me.

I've never had a problem cooking at 200-250. It's not rocket science. LOL. I'm too shocked to offer any help. What a waste of time for him to post that. Seek advice, not throw your EGG under the bus. Its not the EGG. Trust me.
