My opinion so far:
Cons:
Eggpensive! But at my age I may never by another ‘Q.
Pros:
This does it all with remarkable stability and a great community.
Two requests:
I want to do some beans from scratch. No canned beans. I can’t find anything on the net but I ain’t a computer whiz. I’d also like to do a pot roast on the egg, any suggestions?

Go to susieqbrand.com, they have some pinquito beans and seasoning. I haven't been able to find these in any grocery stores around our area (Santa Cruz, Ca.). They are the beans that are grown in the Santa Maria, Ca. area and are used with Santa Maria style tri-tip. I'm cooking a pot right now and they are smelling great.Felton, Ca. 2-LBGE, 1-Small, PBC, PK360, Genesis Summit, Camp Chef Flattop, Smokefire 24, Traeger Pro Series 22 Pellet with a Smoke Daddy insert, Gateway 55 Gal. drum, SNS Kettle w/acc.

Beans beans beans beans beans beans beans beans . Beans beans the wonderful fruit the more you eat the more you toot! The more you eat the better you feel,so eat some beans with every meal. Soak your beans the night before. Boil them the following day for approx 45 mins. until skins break. Follow a standard Boston bean recipie with navy beans, molasses and brown sugar,salt pork, dry musdard. etc. Put it in a beanpot and put on the egg for 5 hrs @ 325F. MMMMMMMMM. I am glad you are excited about your new egg. Happy cooking and Happy Holidays, Dan

One option for a pot roast, toss everything you would for a crockpot pot roast into a cast iron dutch oven, and throw that on the egg. Time and temp for whatever your conditions. Lower and all day if you got the time, higher and 3-5 hours if you don't. Feel free to make a lot, because it tends to get even better by about the 3rd or 4th day.
My favorite reheating method is cast iron skillet loosely covered on med-low heat until you have some nice tasty crusty bits in the pan.

The pinquito beans turned out great, I added some sauted onions, garlic, hamburger and linguica. You don't have to soak these over night. 1 lb. of beans in 2 quarts of water, add seasoning packet and bring to a boil. Then added my other items and simmered for about 3 hours. The beans are about 1/2 the size of regular pinto beans.

You can also make great pulled beef from a regular flat chuck roast using this recipe:

I prefer spatchcock chicken which is quite easy and comes out great:
