When I first got my egg 2 years ago my MIL purchased steaks to break it in. Well I pulled them at 160 IT and let’s just say she was pissed. I wasn’t experienced in IT yet.

Wait. It’s Johnincarolina. We can make it political.
Ahh, I jest, I jest. (Full disclosure my black neighbor just wanted to go with a comment about it robbing a liquor store or having KFC for lunch, but he said i didnt have enough holes punched in my Brotha Card to pull it off)

suffice it to say that:
1) some adult beverages were involved
2) batch two is being done in the oven

Adult beverage was my problem. What is yours?

I just told my wife, the reason I love the place is because folks not only post the GREAT cooks, but are not ashamed to post the errrr not so great?
