How many times a week do you egg per week on average? What is your favorite dish or protein to make? Is there anything you'll never make on the egg again?
I'll go first. I average 3-5x per week. Brisket is by far my favorite because they can present a challenge and I personally like that. But, truthfully I haven't egged anything that I didn't like.
And.....go.

I egg 0-4 times per week - average 1-2.

I can't really say that I have a favorite. I generally like to cook something I haven't cooked for a while just to have some variety.

I can't think of anything that I'll never cook on the egg again, but I tend to prefer to grill asparagus on my gasser because I can line them up on one edge with the leafy part toward the edge of the grill that tends to be cooler and I get a more predictable temperature across each stalk than I do on the round egg grill surface. With that being said, if I have space on the egg I don't go out of my way to fire up the gas grill just to cook the asparagus.

I'll second the brisket. Ribs too. I try to use it fri/sat/sun, so three times a week and maybe once more through the week.

@Foghorn‌... Our family absolutely loves asparagus on the egg I put them in a covered pan 5-10 minutes and pull and place on standard grid or (my favorite) c.i. grid for a subtle grill mark.

We egg about 4-5 times a week. Brisket is resting right now. We love pizza, steaks, pulled pork, and the list goes on. It is all good.

@NPHuskerFL, thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try.

Used to use the egg 3-5 times per week. The longer I did that, the more tired I was of messing with it. Lately (4+ years later), I've been cranking it up once a month or so. Maybe less. Food tastes so much better, but it's just so much bother - especially during a New England winter. That said, in the past week, I have done a butt and spatched a chicken in the egg. Both were so good, I may change my tune. Especially now that the weather is improving!

Try to fire the egg up at least on Fri/Sat/Sun... everything from octopus to dutch oven cobbler. Favorite thing off the egg, tough to say, but probably a good hunk of steak

I try to get it going during the week, and most weeks can get at least one cook in... But my main cooks are on the weekend, intentionally making enough for leftovers during the week for lunches and dinners

Charlesmaneri · March 2014

I Egg about 3 to 4 times a week and my favorite is Pork shoulder or Butt

4 to 5 times a week...favorite is Pork Butt, but don't make it that often (tends to lead to real fattening meals). We do lots of chicken breasts, fish, tri-tip and I just got a Wok set up...so that's getting some use too

Cm23 · March 2014

1-2 times on the mini for weekday dinners and Friday, Saturday on the large each week

gmac · March 2014

How many times per week: at least 3. Favourites: ABTs. Won't make again: love.

Been hitting about 4 times a week, but with SWMBO out of town, I end up with more food I can eat in an evening. Been eating on the smoked meatloaf I adapted from Alton Brown's recipe (I used ground venison), which came out great.

My local grocery has started selling dry aged steaks (which they age in a case in plain view with the dates on them) that they cut to order. Grabbed a dry aged ribeye the other day and it was abso f'in lutely incredible.

Longer cooks on the weekend, and shorter cooks (chops steak chicken) during the week. I can get the egg to temp as fast as preheating the oven and clean up is easier. I love it.

henapple · March 2014

7 days or nights a week. PBR, Sam Adams, Woodford. ..oh, thought you said drinkaholics. I cook if I'm home...at least 6 nights. Nothing I wouldn't try again. No favorite cook. Just like to mix it up.
