#82 XXL First Cook

I was going to do this as a whole but cannot resist. Used a long lost lump ring to start so there would be a nice pile for the paper towel and veggie oil start. Don't think that was necessary. Holy cow the grid must weight 35 - 40 pounds and the PS 45 to 50. This is not an easy cooking system. Took about 20 minutes to get to 500.

Very cool. Have fun breaking in the virgin Egg. Given its size, I hope to see some big cooks in the future.

That a stock grid? The rods looks thicker than the usual ones.

20 min to 500 is impressive for that beast. Not sure I can get there that fast in my large unless I use a weed burner to light all the top lump.
