<p />Stopped by the store today on the way home from work and found Boston Butts on sale for 98 cents/lb. Just put a 4.5 lb butt on the egg. First covered it with cheap mustard, then a rub.[p]Smokey

    Smokey,
    Damon,
    I know what you mean. I have been chastized by many of the newbies that have been cooking on the EGG for a few months that say I have no idea what I am talking about. My 50+ years of Q'n and 23 years on the EGG makes them more proficient than us old timers.

    JJ,[p]I have cooked with you twice, helped you prepare a meal, shared large amounts of conversations with you over the years, and look forward to continuing it all and more.[p]I would offer that you are at your very best in person, with your wife being the one that has the gift on the keyboard ;-). You seem to type a lot slower than your knowledge wants to offer. Your posts, though very accurate, tend to be abrupt - very short and to the point. The interpretation of your abbreviated posts (by the readers) may tend to convey an aire of superiority that I know you do not have. I know you constantly learn more of what can be cooked and how to do it on the Egg as much as we all do.[p]I also know that you are very acquanted with how to cook many meals on the Egg, and your experience is needed here. I have learned many a technique from you, most from emails and a few finalized when I had the opportunity of watching you in action.[p]It took me a year to get details of your Eggtoberfest99' leg of lamb (forum, email, phone). If I had posted that I had a leg of lamb and wanted the best way to cook it, would you have posted to skin it, trim all of the fat off, cut small slits in the meat, insert garlic cloves in the slits, cover with fresh rosemary, and cook indirect at 350°F to 135°F internal using a certain wood for smoke?[p]You do have a lot to offer. You need to break your knowledge down to the point of a step by step method post so we can learn from you.[p]No offense intended, my friend.

    JJ, this is one newbie who listens to the masters. I've had my egg just about a week now and wouldn't even think about mucking things up. I've been sniffing around this web site for approx 4 months and have kept quite a few of your tips on q'ing. Keep up the good work.[p]VaNole
