Congrats! First tip is don't use it inside
Ramp up to the temp you want slowly, let the smoke clean up, trust your dome temp (calibrate it), and have some fun.I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

Welcome aboard and enjoy the journey. The search function here and google with "big green egg" in your query can give you lots of info. Then ask away and you will get all the answers you want and more.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

First tip is use up your bge charcoal, then branch out.. simply because the premium price point for their charcoal isn't worth the quality of the charcoal.

Good choice @bigchef1995. It's a good neutral lump. Just my opinion though. Show us some grub and have fun!Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga

Very nice! Get right in there.

Be very careful wheeling the XL over seams in the concrete especially where two seams meet. Pull the egg, never push except for absolute final placement adjustment. Can't wait to see some food. Welcome aboard.I raise my kids, cook and golf. When work gets in the way I'm pissed, I'm pissed off 48 weeks a year.Inbetween Iowa and Colorado, not close to anything remotely entertaining outside of football season.

He's got a handler. Really good investment. Makes those precarious situations much safer.Scottborasjr said:Be very careful wheeling the XL over seams in the concrete especially where two seams meet.
