Hey Guys and Gals,
I just registered to the forums and thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Nick from Québec City, Canada. I got my Large BGE on my birthday in March of this year and have been enjoying it ever since. Luckily, I've also become a new father early april and have been cooking non stop on the egg during my paternity leave.
Here's a look at some of my creations:
Maple Mustard Glazed ham:

Pancetta wrapped Pork Square with Citrus mopping sauce:

And dry rub crusted bulk T-Bone:

I got plenty more where that cam from at http://www.flickr.com/photos/sabbat/sets/72157616543218902/

I hope I'll be able to contribute to the discussion and I'm sure I'll enjoy all of your stories!

Peace,
Nick

    Looking good! I'm intrigued by the Pork Square - I don't think I've seen one before. Congratulations on all counts, BGE, good food, and fatherhood!

    All wonderful looking food.

    As someone who enjoys some really good winter weather, you will also appreciate how well the Egg does in even the coldest and snowiest circumstances.

    Congratulations on the birth. As an extra bonus, you won't need an alarm for overnight cooks, as baby most likely will be reminding you to wake up for some time. :laugh:

    Thanks!
    The pork square is basically like a rack of lamb except for pork. It's a pretty cut with lots of potential!

    Would that be the same as a crown roast? -RP

    It would, indeed. Then again, everything is in French up here, they don't even know what a Brisket is! I have to order a lower breast beef roast...

    Nick -

    Have you used the Basques brand of charcoal? Apparently it isn't available everywhere in Canada, but comes out of Quebec. It is supposedly all sugar maple, but I was wondering whether the size is uniform, etc.

    Thanks - Bob V

    I haven't actually but I will look for them; the BGE charcoal we get here isn't as lumpy as I would like, so I've been looking for an alternative. Will keep you posted!!!

    Hey Bob,
    I've found the Basques, and to my surprise they only sell it in one grocery chain (IGA) and at a cheap corner store (Bonisoir). They actually talk about the BGE on their site, so it makes things interesting, but I'm a bit suspicious that they don't distribute to more BBQ oriented places like Canadian Tire and BBQ stores. They have 4kg (9lbs) bags, so I might try em out. The bags didn't feel very lumpy when I groped them... ok that sounded kinky...

    Late update for Bob. The Maple lump was amazing. Small lumps, slow burn, unbeatable aroma!
