    Nothing better than cooking for a group and coming through with a home run. Looks great. I'm sure it was appreciated by all, though they have probably come to expect nothing less.

    This cook is certainly akin to the proverbial hippy in a windstorm. Awesome job ole buddy.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    It is kind of funny in a way. Almost all that I cook for, have never experienced food off a komodo style cooker. Unless, of course they have had it here, so there might be an expectation of sorts.
    However, my skill level, consists entirely of building a fire, getting it to temperature, select type of smoking wood chunks, placing food on the BGE, waiting while using a food thermometer, then pulling, when the temp is where it needs to be.
    The BGE and the Rockwood do the cooking. I just assist.
    It has been my experience, mediocre off the BGE, typically bests any dining out experience, I have had. So as long as I can keep it at least at that level, I think my family and friends will be happy with the results.
    I am not a great cook like yourself, and others on this sight, I just own a couple of Big Green Eggs, and I use them.
    Thank you for the kind words.

    Thank you brother, I give all the credit to SRF, Rockwood, and the BGE. All I did was drink wine and wait, after getting the BGE to the correct temp. If that makes me a good cook, I'll take it. You rock dude.

    My Beautiful Wife actually called this cook. She only likes turkey deep fried, because it is gone same day. 
    She did all the real cooking today, baking potato biscuits, mashed potatoes, gravy,  pies, everything was great because of her.
    I just got out of the kitchen, sat by the grill, and drank wine, which she brought me when she took a break, to check on me.
    It turned out pretty well, great meal, and it was fun.
    Thank you for the kind words.

    Thank you Scottie, I hope your day went well. It was going to be awesome, because I learned from you. Everything I cook, is done from what you and the other BGE Gods, we're kind enough to teach me. 
    I speak of you all, when the compliments start flying around the table, because of the food. 
    Bottom line, I look like a rock star, to these folks, but in reality, I am just doing cover tunes, to the real hits.
    It was windy up here though.
    BTW, have you heard from Carey lately? If you have contact with him, tell him I said hello, and get his butt back in here.
    Thanks again Scottie, means much to me.

    Johnny, thank you so very much. It was the first time I had done two "bone in" Prime Ribs on the XL, hopefully the last.

    Man that's beautiful and looks delicious.  That is on my list to try and you have set the bar.  How long was it on the Egg in total at that temp?  Thanks!

    5.5 hours total time, but I did two of them. Should take about the same time. I had some wind to deal with, but it came through pretty well. It was cold here in the 40s and damp. I let them sit for an hour prior to cook, and when pulled, I tented them with foil, and let rest for about 15 to 20 minutes before carving. I carved 1 to 1.5 inches. I used the fat to make gravy for My Beautiful Wife's potatoes.
    Thank you for the kind words.

    Wow - that is beautiful!  Especially love the wine pairing. Incredibly well done. Thank you to you and all the experienced Eggers for continuing to post and share. I learn every time I come on this form in and happily try to copy meals like this!  Happy Thanksgiving!

    I think a Chateauneuf Du Pape would make anything better. The wine was outstanding.
    Thank you for the kind words. If I can help anytime let me know.

    Thank you brother, we had a full table of friends and family, as well as food. Leftovers the rest of the day, then whatever is left goes into soup.
