Newbies First Cooks from NC

Hello everyone! Bought my first BGE-XL a couple of weeks ago and I have been trolling the forum here for tips and ideas. Fortunate to to have this site as it is such a great resource of information and it has been extremely helpful!
I have included a few photos of my first cooks. The first was a spatchcock chicken and pork tenderloin...yes I initially forgot the drip pan as I was "caught up in the moment"... but they both turned out great! The second is my first attempt at chicken bombers or bombs?. Trader Joes in WS NC sells boneless skinless thighs which worked out perfectly. Manchego and garlic filler, hmmm. The next one is my first pork butt on the BGE. Modified "cazzy turbo style" with what I call a cheater glaze to help with the bark (a little unconventional but it works). The first pic is fat side up the second is bottom side up which is where the cheater glaze comes into play. Look forward to learning from all of the information and posts on this forum!

Looks like you're off to a great start! Welcome to the lifestyle.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada

Awesome first cooks! Tell us more about this cheater glaze. Is it just a sugary glaze that burns up a little to help the crust form? It looks excellent!Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Thanks everyone!@SmokeyPitt - The cheater glaze is something that I use when I do (or rather used to do) BB's on the kettle grill and it seemed to make sense for this turbo method. It is a reduction of hard cider, cornstarch/water and the same rub that I used for the butt. Cooked normal at 320 dome to 180ish temp, flipped fat side down and put in steam pan then basted with the glaze. Kept the same dome temp until internal of around 190 and then closed the egg off. Finish to final temp as the egg cools. Best BB I have ever done!Michael ~ XL ~ Winston Salem, NC
