Just curious. 

There are lots of cooks that seem like BGE "staples" that I just haven't done.

My main one that I haven't tried is burnt ends of any variety.  Just haven't done it.  I want to!

What's yours?

    Brisket. It’s too big for most of my purposes and my Doc doesn’t want me to be eating it. She is fine with fish, shrimp, pork loin or tenderloin, and just about all poultry. Same reason that I don’t do bacon wrapped anything.

    Johns chocolate pots and tarheelmatt is always drinking Cheerwine in his videos. Two bucket items that come to mind that I'd like to try out. Plus a million others cooks but that's what comes to mind in the first few seconds.

    Gonna sound silly, but actually grilling anything on my BGE. I’ve never cooked anything without a plate setter in. Built in gasser makes it too easy for burgers, chicken breasts or even final sear after a solid reverse sear on the XL.

    @JohnInCarolina

    That is another one I have not tried.  I have a BGE folder in my bookmarks and it is the only "bookmarked" cook I have in there.

    Tri-tip, for me, too. Envious of all the folks turning out great looking tri-tips. Only 1, of the 3 I've ever done,  turned out great.

    Brisket. I appreciate a good one but it just doesn’t make me do back flips. And when we have a gathering most people want me to do something chef-y (worked in nice kitchens long ago) or a pizza party. Nothing against it just never done one

    Yesterday I would have said brisket burnt ends, but only because there is never any brisket left over.  We usually sendi home doggie bags for guests.  However, I saved the entire point from a brisket I did Saturday and that will be an appetizer for guests tonight.

    I also keep meaning to wok on the Egg.  I have the wok and spider from CGS and just haven’t done it yet.

    I haven’t done dessert, specifically pie.  Not that everyone does pie...I just haven’t done that one yet.  

    I will say, I’m pretty proud of the fact that I can’t think of much I haven’t attempted.  There’s a lot I haven’t cooked well, though.

    FWIW, Green lightning shrimp are KILLER

    Thanks for the rec on the shrimp, I will make them eventually.

    For a dessert, these peach enchiladas that were at Salado in 2015 were awesome:

    I’ve been meaning to try them myself.  Maybe someday.

    So many things...

    • I have only done one pork butt, about 5 years ago.  Maybe I should try that again.
    • Pork Al Pastor
    • I have never made my own pizza dough.  The only pizzas I have made are "take and bake" style.
    • Those Green Lightning shrimp are on my list
    • Paella.  I need to buy a pan.
    • Same with anything made in a wok.  I need a pan.

    Wow.  I have an identical list, save for bullets #3 and #6.

    Pizza. One of the reasons I opted for the egg, never tried it.

    Paella, never heard of it until I joined this forum and started watching some BBQ YouTube videos. I'm still not sure what it is.

    I've never done burnt ends. I hear that term, but haven't researched to see what they are about.
