So got my first cook in the books chicken breast,wings and corn the family loved it!!!!
One question tho how long should it take the egg to shut down to zero once snuffed with cap and vents shut? I was cooking direct at 400 for 1.5 hrs or so.
Few pics for you.oh and I love it already!!!

cool down can take several hours.
congrats on the cook, the egg is a game changer. -
Yeah the old first cook. Only owned an egg for a year I think I have easily passed 100 cooks. Have funSeattle, WA

Nice first cook. Welcome aboard. I shut down my Egg an hour or so ago after a 500 degree pizza cook and it's still 300. Remember, If Egg gets down to zero you need to calibrate your thermo, unless cooking up north in winter. My Egg was almost 100 today before even lighting it.__________________________________________It's not a science, it's an art. And it's flawed.- Camp Hill, PA

AR is a neat piece of equipment it's pure quality and does what is supposed to well.So glad you guys accepted me even tho I was eggless for so long.
Next question is to cover or not to cover ....not so much for the egg itself but for preserving the table???
