Just Got a large BGE!!!!

edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
Just got a large BGE for Christmas from my folks. They decided they would get one for themselves as well so we cooked on it for Christmas. I am the chef of the family and I cooked an 8 lb beef tenderloin and cedar planked some salmon for my vegetarian brother. Both came out great and even had the best compliment from the family....they said this was the best tenderloin that has ever been cooked at the house and we cook them every year. Made me very happy.[p]Well....I finally got mine back to the house today and cooked chicken breasts and asparagus on it....again....perfection. [p]I have been wanting a BGE for years and WOW....it is even better than I could have hoped. No more cheap briquette grilling for me!!! Woohooo![p]-B

    Brandon,[p]Welcome. You are gonna love it.[p]The salmon-eating vegetarian can be converted. Just let him catch a whiff of some TRex steaks some time.

    Brandon, Congrats, Just got my second large for an early x-mas present and both have been working overtime the last few weeks. Something clicked in the last month or so and now I find myself on this forum everynight, just to see what's happening. Everone is so helpful, and their insight along with their websites gives you more info. than you will know what to do with. I've started a binder of stuff I've printed off. I'm eggdicted, who knows , you may be next, Happy New Year, Brett

    Brandon,
    That's great news, and welcome! It sounds like you're learning curve is going to be very steep and short! Now, why don't you fill out a 'profile' so we know who and where you are??

    Brandon,[p]I know you will love your Egg. I love mine. There are a lot of good cooks on this forum with great tips and cooking methods. Some are a little eccentric put you will learn to love them like I have.[p]If you want to try some hot and fast smoked BBQ let me know. I have quite a few links and recipes.

    Brandon,
    Beware of certain individuals suggesting going to various eggfests! If you want to be safe and secure during one of these events, set up next to the 'egret'! I'll take care of you and protect you from some of these misfits who use a 'vehicular cleansing' sort of handle.......

    Brandon,[p]Congratulations and welcome to our cult. Before you know it, you'll be in an airport with a BGE apron, clanging spatulas together and trying to get people to buy the book of enlightenment: The Bhabequta Vittla.
