Go Big Green Egg or don't go at all.

I've almost pulled the trigger on one of those more than a few times, maybe this is the year.

 

Well I'm glad that I never pulled the trigger. Yesterday I was given a brand new BGE as a surprise gift. Is it wrong that I'm more looking forward to smoking ribs, briskets and shoulders on Sundays than I am to be watching the Bills games?

I'd say the two go hand in hand perfectly...good times!

 

Congrats on the new egg!

I've looked forward to grilling, smoking and cooking more than the Bills games for a few years now and life is grand!!

Nice. I feel like a kid on Christmas. I'm really looking forward to using this thing.

 

So needless to say I've been doing a lot of internet reading on the BGE. I've come across a lot of great reviews for this accessory pack. Any Egg owners here have any experience with one of these or something similar? It seems like it really provides great versatility and expanded capacity to a BGE

I've bought no accessories for mine. It's only for grilling and smoking and the basic grill works fine for me. I have friends that say "I'm renovating my kitchen and I'm getting a $20k Wolf range" thinking that me, a retired chef, weill be impressed. Really?? $20k?? Why? It's all heat. Higher BTU's is not going to make your food taste any better. I can cook with a butane lighter if I have to. :D

Its not guaranteed but it sure as hell can. Wok cooking comes to mind first. Of course you could get the heat necessary for wok hei over a simple charcoal grill or BGE, but thats beside the point!!!!

Ahhh, college. A butane lighter, a chipmunk, some bbq sauce, a hot pot and some Ramen noodles. Only thing missing is a spliff.

 

You lucky son of a B word. My college dorm meals consisted of a spoon and the can of progresso bread crumbs hidden under my roomies bunk and water. :cry:

 

Its not guaranteed but it sure as hell can.

 

Wrong.

I am with Jim.no accessories for me.......but you need need need the plate setter if you do not have one.

 

Also, I think the thermometer in the egg sucks...I prolly had this up thread but get one of these..makes for a world of diffence when you actually know the temp of te grill and meat

Nope. Try and use a wok on a typical home gas range or electric oven. Are you sure you were a chef?

 

If I don't have the BTU's to cook with a wok I don't use one. :rolleyes:

 

My point is extra BTU's don't make the food taste any better. That is the part of my post you highlighted right? Let me ask you, do you like BBQ?

We've got the Weber kettle grill and the bullet-smoker.

 

Damn, summer has been amazing.

 

Go for the lump charcoal if you can, too. The flavor is even better.

 

Tannoys are the real deal for sure. I almost bought a pair of their newest Mercury bookshelf speakers.

Focals.

 

Tannoys not bad. I have a pair of JBLs that I'm real happy with for home listening, and some ADAMs for work.
