This was just delivered today. Now all I need is the time to use it. Probably this weekend I'll get the chance to go low and slow. :) Good time for a cigar, too.

Nice! Sounds like a plan. :D

Let me know how it works I have been tempted to get one.
Nice one!
A buddy of mine has one. As soon as I have the funds I am getting one. Those are top notch for sure.
You name it, the egg will cook it better!
The Big Green Egg is one of our clients, we designed several surrounds for them to sell in california. The gave one to us that we use on fridays during the summer for lunch around here. Check out the rendering of one of the Cali-Kitchens.
Hi Bill! I already read another post of yours that reported your first BBQue was a success! Please consider bringing the Egg to the next get-to-gether . . . I'll spring for the ribs!

As an easy start, try salmon. Just get some, preferable with skin on. Set get your temp at 300 holding. Place a chunk of alder wood (or whatever you have), put some lemon pepper on the fish, place it on the grill skin side down(if you have a fish screen that helps), and close the lid. Let it cook for about 25 minutes and take it off. You can tell it is done as there seems to be some foam raised on the fish. The fish will just slide off the skin as the heat and fat separate the meat from the skin.
It's a terrific tool.

Thanks for the tips. So far I really like the egg. I have had problems getting the temp established correctly, but I think I am gaining ground on the problem. I am thinking about getting one of the power draft temp controls for longer cooks. The BBQ Guru makes a couple nice ones. I sense an AD coming on...oh no:rolleyes:

One trick I read about (and like) is to shut the vents to what your target temp will require when you're within 50*F of the target. Overshoot should be minimal. Also remember that when the ceramic is heat-soaked, it will be much more efficient and require less heat to maintain temp. (Reflecting rather than absorbing heat inside the unit.)
Well whatever you do, don't cook ham with it, because,

Same joke my daughter came up with.....she's 9 :):roflmao

Oh---oh, it's not a weapon of mass destruction? Hmmph. 'Coulda sworn. "Big Green Egg." Does that not sound like a name that could go down in history or something? Alongside Fat Man and Little Boy.
But seriously, BBQ's rock. It was past midnight last night when I decided I was going to do some BBQing. I had these sausages, see, and though I didn't know what kind of meat they were (either deer, moose or cow), I did know I wanted them in my stomach. So I fired up the grill on the back deck, turned on the light and got to work. I may not have figured out what they were made of, but they sure tasted good.
I just got the book for Marlow the other day. I can't wait to read it to him! :yQuote:

Let me guess - naming him after Christopher Marlowe?Quote:

It might be a suitable middle name. I'm sure the child would appreciate it if you did him that favor. Remember: he's the one who has to live with this name and try to defend it on those rough playgrounds.
