Hit The Ground Running

So.. bought my large BGE a couple of week ago.

Decided to jump in with both feet, and try a brisket with my first fire...  Watched several videos and decided to go with an injection and rub, and let it sit overnight.  Then put it straight on the grate over an aluminum drip pan filled with water.  The videos were  a great help, and ten hours later I had one of the best briskets I've ever eaten.

Next came brine chickens, pizza, and some burgers.. all with equally satisfying results.... (The chickens might have been the best of all)

The last cook was a twelve pound pork butt....  It went 19.5 hours before I got it up to 195, but it was well worth the wait.  Great pulled pork, and lots of it...  Towards the end I figured out that the Digi Q temp probe was getting a little too much direct heat, which probably kept my dome temp about 25 degrees below what I had intended... However, being reulst-oriented as I am, I was pleased with the outcome nonetheless..  Lesson learned...

I still plan to attempt a turkey and some pork ribs in the next ten days or so....

I highly recommend the Digi Q temp controller as well as a Thermapen for spot checking...

So far so good... really enjoying the BGE!
