On the course!
Wouldn't a blowtorch and a hubcap work about as well?

made these bad boys tonight.

seared the boneless chicken breasts for a few minutes each side at 500 degrees on direct heat.

then went indirect until the temp was 165 and added bacon, mushrooms and covered with marble cheese.

they were great :00hour

Jack, I take it all back!

If you made those puppies with one of your trial runs, than you should be off and running!

Good for you, and happy egging.



On a side note, I don't think this dish can be prepared at Gitmo:

:shrug:

Jack....the only regret you'll have is that you should've bought the XL....I bought one about 8 months ago...this takes my grill collection to number five...I've got the Weber & Traeger which are good grills..but the BGE is the grill of choice now....use it all the time......the only hard part to me was if you're waiting for it to hit whatever temp you need...don't let it go past it.....it takes awhile to cool back down....when you try your first low & slow butt you might try these vent settings which work great on mine....the bottom and top I open no more than 1/4"...that'll keep it at 200-220 all day & night...GL

i got the large because that size has the most accessories made for it :shrug:

i did ribs on sunday and kept the temp right on 230 the whole 5 hours. it isn't as hard as some say it is to keep your temp whatever you want. i'm loving it so far.

thanks

I'll give you some tips. Don't try to clean it too much, I clean mine minimally mostly the grill part with a wire brush and the ashes out. The rest of the grill brings in flavor the more you use it. I like to use hickory smoked wood chips with mine - you can buy them at the grocery store. Other than that it's great you'll love it.
