Seems like a pretty tight nit group here so I reckon I better introduce myself.

Name's Jeff, from Houma, Louisiana.

Just got my first Egg, a large. Already want a second.

Struggling a bit with low temp regulation but have gotten lots of great advice and tips from the members here. Thanks!

Planning a DigiQ purchase but believe I need to learn the proper techniques first.

(As you all know) the Egg is amazing. Have been using it just about every night and even doing some "test burns" to play with temps during the day.

Anyways, I'll be around sucking up on the collective wisdom here.

    Welcome to the cultic world of the BGE. A land where a whole new vocabulary awaits and a different take on life. A land where just looking at our eggs, or other people's eggs just makes us smile.

    What a planet, where the likes of a Big Green Egg can be the common bond among so many different types of people.

    Happy Eggin!

    Seems I made a bit of a mistake in introducing myself as Jeff from Houma. My handle is eggcetera, first name is Jeff, I live in Houma. LOL!

    Yes, I've corresponded with Frank and he's provided a bunch of help!

    Thanks for the welcome everyone

    I'm new too and also still learning about temp control. One piece of advice I have for you is not to stress too much if you can't control the temp. at first cause the food always comes out perfect no matter what. I find that it's better not to use the egg if I'm under a time constraint because that's when I start getting frustrated about the temp. not being where I want it (at least until I figure this thing out :) ) Just use it when you've got plenty of time to play around with the settings while enjoying your favorite beverage.
