    Welcome aboard. That is some impressive work, right there! Almost anything you'd make in the kitchen you can make in a BGE. My suggestion is to go ahead and check off the pork butt or brisket box.

  • Thanks guys! Ribs was my first cook on the egg, and there is a reason I didn't post any pictures of them haha. Cooked them way too long, those turbo ribs look perfect! Brisket was another flop, I wrapped way too soon without it allowing to form a bark, turns out brisket makes good jerky...

    Welcome nicely done! I would suggest wings and ABT's. Perfect combo and an easy weeknight cook.

    45 min to an hour at 350, killer breakfast casserole and the egg made it even better!
  • @fence0407 what is abt? 

    @Mark_B_Good a prime rib roast will definitely be in the near future!

  • Wow, you’ve done some great looking food.  I’m pretty new to the egg as well, but what I’ve found most impressive is how well the egg does long low and slow cooks.  To be able to not have to add fuel during a 12 or 14 hour cook is awesome.  

    I think you should do a Boston Butt or Picnic Shoulder.  In fact, do both at the same time and give one to someone you dig.  

    Another suggestion is a lamb rack:

    Looks great.  I'm fairly new as well.  I've had to improvise with a couple of my bad cooks as to not be wasteful.

    Any tips for the rack of lamb?  This is on my list of things I want to try next.

    Really easy:  on the one above I used  a course steak rub, and cooked raised direct at around 425F until internal temp was 125F.  I did this because I was cooking veggies on a grid above the lamb.  

    Alternatively, you can sear direct for 4 or 5 minutes per side.  Then set aside and place your conveggtor in and add the lamb rack back and cook indirect until desired temp is reach.  The nice thing about this method is the guesswork is taken out because you can use a probe thermometer.

    We do rack of lamb with Dizzy Pig Redeye Express. Indirect at 300-325 to internal of 125 degrees. Remove and cover. Remove ceramics and get BGE to 500 degrees. Sear 1 minute per side.
