YankeeBBQ,[p]Hi Steve, You have to TRex a steak! Welcome to the clan.[p]phillip

YankeeBBQ,[p]>>What should be my first cook on the egg ?<<[p]As Rocketwoman says - MEAT! ;-)[p]Try T-Rexing a nice thick steak or two (Rib Eye is my favorite...) - the method should be in the recipe section...[p]- Andy

Would gotta be a nice thick steak in my opinion...I run my small egg up to 550°- 650° go for 90 seconds and turn the steak 90 degrees for the grill marks and go for another 90 seconds, flip and repeat the process and you`re done.....total cook time time 6 minutes, let it rest for about 5 minutes and you should have a perfect medium steak....season as you like...good luck and enjoy, you will love cooking on the small egg...

YankeeBBQ,
Humming bird wings Steve! Marinated in Padron of course [p]BBq bOB
-
BBQ Bob Trudnak,[p]Fill me in. Link ? Marinate the wings or marinate the cook. I always get confused on that part
-
YankeeBBQ,
•2 lbs of wings
•your favorite rub
•2 cups of marinade
•1 bottle of Padron Anejo or Perosado[p]Take the wings, marinade and rub and throw it in the trash.
Take the bottle of Padron and slug. Pass to the person next to you and repeat until the bottle is empty. Good luck and enjoy! [p]Wait a minute you are the creator of this recipe![p]BBQ Bob

BBQ Bob Trudnak,[p]Hey man, you just ran down my whole competition BBQ method. Of course I don't know from Padron, but I'm sure a case and a half of any 6% or higher ABV beer can be substituted without affecting the end result, right?[p]Cheers,
Sean

YankeeBBQ,[p]Chicken and let me know how many pieces you can fit on it!!! ;-)

YankeeBBQ,
Nice thick steaks or chicken, maybe whole cornish game hens are definitely the way to go. Something you can do hot and fast, you'll definitely be impressed with yourself. Whatever you cook, load it up with lump beforehand and don't shut it down while you stop to dine. After you eat, go back outside and play with it for an few hours, get familiar with your new toy. See how long it takes to cool back down to BBQ temps, get used to holding low temps for a while so you'll know where your settings are.[p]Good Luck and enjoy.[p]Cheers,
Sean

YankeeBBQ,
insure the fire box is lined up correctly with the lower vent... load her full of fresh lump. ..light her up. .. vents wide open. ...go nulear. . . pop on a couple of 2 inch thick steaks (tenderloins in this case). ..sear for 2 minutes per side. ..pull and let rest for 20 minutes while the egg comes down to 400 degrees and you take a couple of 'shots'. .. put the steaks back on for about 5 minutes per side. ...you won't be sorry. .. [p][p]
