First Egg, First Post, First (Few) Cook Highlights with Pics
Options
Vol4Life09
Posts: 13
Hey everyone, finally got approved to post on the forum so here goes. First off, just want to thank everyone for all their posts and hard work. Felt like I already knew what to do with getting everything set up and how to do my first few cooks just by reading the forum the past couple of months. The amount of knowledge on this site is amazing.
I wasn't sure if the fork in the plated pic was a good thing or a bad...so I only put in one. However, I did know to get the mandatory "bottom crust shot" on the pizza.
Setup: LBGE in Cypress Table with plate setter.
1st Cook: 3-1-1 St. Louis Style Ribs @ 225F raised indirect. Turned out fantastic.
4th Cook: (Leftover) Pork Tenderloin Stir Fry in Lodge Cast Iron Wok @ ~500 F.
9th Cook: Thin Crust Pizza. Raised indirect @ ~450 F on Oneida pizza stone sitting directly on grill grates. Maybe our favorite so far (Okay, maybe a tie with the ribs).
11th Cook: Grilled London Broil. Direct & lowered @ ~650 F.

Way to come out the gate firing on all 8. Great looking grub and welcome aboard brother.

awesome cooks, welcome to the home for the OCD eggers. The cost to join is nowhere even remotely close to the cost to stay at Hotel Green Egg. Aside from that, this forum is a very cool place with a ton if knowledge about everything. ( anything) you could possibly imagine even remotely associated with the BGE.

Nicely done! Welcome to the forum and the lIfestyle. Looks like the only mistake you made was not having enough pepperoni to cover that pie. Bet you don't do that again!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------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

Thanks everyone all the positive feedback, really appreciate it.bo_mull said:Looks good, You might want to check on a table nest for your egg to get more clearance between the base and the table.
@bo_mull - I ordered one but it didn't come with everything else. I need to get my money back or exchange for another bag of lump. Haven't had an issue (yet) with lack of airflow.
dirty_denim86 said: is that the 14" Lodge Wok in a LGE?
@dirty_denim86 - Yes, it is the 14". Fits perfectly in the large. I've been waiting for a setup that can get hot enough to do proper wok cooking.
