setting up your new egg that is, taking the little nuts and bolts and carefully tightening them down. Making sure your ever so careful with the ceramics and everything is so clean and looks so nice. Lining up the logo so it sits perfectly in front with the handle. Well I had that feeling again today!! I decided to reward myself for the table I just finished; https://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1213975/it-took-6-weeks-longer-then-i-expected-and-cost-3-times-as-much-but-at-least-i-can-say-i-built-it#latest
I bought a MM and a L over the winter and said I will not open them up until I build the eggs proper tables. Well I built 1 of the 3 tables I need to build so far and said that was worth a little reward for me so the little guys coming out to play. Doesn't he look so cute next to his big brother!! A parents love is unmatched. I was so excited that I didn't want to walk back to the sed to get fresh RW lump so I just took a few handfuls of RW from the XL and put it in the MM and it is now preheating getting ready to make me some Lamb Shish kababs that Ive been meaning to try.
Wow does the little guy come to temp quick. In the time it took me to write this and download the pictures maybe 15 minutes my dome temp was already at 400 (all vents opened wide) so I just adjusted them to how I would adjust my XL to get 350 lets see how much different it is for the MM. While I wait for the lump to burn off a little back to this little guy did I tell you how cute he is.
Okay down to business:
I ground some lamb some spices and vegetables and made a few skewers just to try it out. No real recipe just a little of this and a pinch of that.
Going to get the dome to 350 and put them on direct and see what happens

Man this little guy does not lose heat at all. I closed the vents to what I thought was appropriate for 350-400 and she climbed to 450, I guess there is going to be a learning curve with this one

I remember most of my first time. Starting with alcohol, a blond waitress I worked with and her T-top Trans-Am, finally a Howard Johnson's (no relationship to Wes).

That's an awesome table! Congrats on the new MM. You'll love it!
We have an XL, a Mini Max, and a new Medium as of yesterday. We keep the MM up at our marina on Lake Michigan during the summer, so the XL and the Medium work well for home. -
NautiRogue THANK YOU and same to you, I was on the fence between the medium and the large in fact I was going to buy the medium but my dealer talked me into the large and a M/M instead of the medium. the large was on sale for less then $50.00 more the the medium at the time so it was a no brainer. Let me know how you like the medium I would be interested to know how fast it lights and how it holds/changes temp compared to the XL. I already see the M/M is very different then the XL after 1 cook on it so Im going to have to learn the vent setting for desired temp againLong Island NY

I got lucky, went to bed with a large, and woke up with a medium and a small. Love the medium man that sucker gets hot quick. I did steaks tonight and Tempguage spun twice before it stopped on 800 degrees. They came out perfect
