Hi, new egg user here. My mom passed away last August and before she did, she discussed with my brother about a final Christmas gift, so out of the blue a limited edition XXL Egg showed up at my house. Needless to say I'm thrilled with the Egg and have been really enjoying it. Looking forward to trying out recipes and stuff. I'm mostly excited about the high temp capability it offers as my current grills smokers and oven don't go above 450 except for the rare occasion.
So far I've made 4 pizzas, 2 chickens, a batch of brownies, 1 brisket, two loaves of bread and a turkey. All were very good.

Tough loss but a truly meaningful reminder gift.Welcome aboard and enjoy the journey. Above all, have fun. You have been at this Q game for a while so you've got solid foundation that translated quite well to the BGE.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.

Your cooks show you know what you’re doing, with minimal learning curve on the egg. What other cookers did you have before the BGE?

My sincere condolences and welcome to the asylum. As others have said, she obviously loved you very much and supported your interests and hobbies. What a great way to keep remembering the loving times. If you are already baking bread and making pizza, briskets and the like, then we will simply sit back and enjoy the upcoming posts as you are off to killer start.Columbus, Ohio--A Gasser filled with Matchlight and an Ugly Drum.

Very cool. Do you make all of your briskets in Tetris blocks?

Thanks, I've been cooking on a grill of some sort for about IDK 25 years or so, but smoking things was all new to me until about 5 years ago. I did a lot of reading and ended up getting a large and a small WSM. They perform very well and are a true bargain for smoking things. I did some catering for friends and co-workers and I've never had any complaints yet😀 the price of the BGE kept me from ever buying one, but I have always been intruiged by the claims of efficiency and the high temp capability of them. So... here I am playing with it and it's delivered so far! I'm searing a couple of porterhouse steaks on it tonight, so that will be my first time without the platesetter in it. I'm thinking about 550-600 degrees and we'll see how it goes!littlerascal56 said:Your cooks show you know what you’re doing, with minimal learning curve on the egg.

I'm going to leave it on the nest and just make a table or two that will butt up to it. Probably weld some square tubing and use maple for the work surface.nolaegghead said:You'll need a crane to get that in a table....or build the table around the egg....or leave it open in the front or back. -
