New EggHead First Cooks

Hi All,

New EggHead here - I bought a large last week and did my first cooks over the weekend - Spatchcock Chicken and a 9# butt - both firsts for me.  They turned out fantastic!  I'm going to do a brisket and burnt ends this weekend - also firsts.  I've been smoking ribs and salmon for years but never did a long cook.  All I can say is watching the Maverick / temperature rising is like crack - I can't stop myself from watching it all the time. 

I don't know if its possible to do too much research but I've been obsessing about the egg for a couple of months and have probably done 100 hours of research on it, cooking with it, and accessories.  I couldn't make my mind up on the best indirect setup although I think I will eventually go with an adjustable rig.  I'm using a quick and dirty setup right now so I can start cooking (Bricks, 14" Terra Cotta Flower Pot Tray, and a 17" Weber grid) - about 25 bucks at HD.  While messing around with my first cook, spatchcock chicken, I got the temps a little high and the top gasket fell off.  I picked up some spray adhesive and put it back on for the butt.
