There's a special "Noodles from Around the World" Throwdown this month so some mac & cheese on the BGEs was in order. I adapted a recipe for Mexican Mac from a restaurant called Homeroom based in Oakland, CA that specializes in Mac & Cheese. I had some heat left after cooking dinner the night...

and it went well. I did baby-backs. One set was a little dry I think because I had them on too long tightening up the sauce on the 3-2-1 method. I am pleased with the smoke profile. Question: My egg did not have a rEGGulator cap so I bought one. Does it just sit there without being attached...

Not sure what possessed me to call for a baking throwdown as I'm not really a baker but I figured I'd better enter something. I mixed up the graham cracker crumbles, melted butter, and sugar to form up the crusts and pre-baked two in the XL Egg running at 350: Then got to work on the cream...

Greetings Brethren: I'm considering a UDS build. I currently use a large BGE and am after more cooking surface area and more portability. Can those who have built a UDS recommend a hardware kit?

Hello Brethren! I've been stalking this site long enough, time to engage! I was born in MN but got to Texas as fast as I could. I thank you all for all your input and knowledge that I've quietly soaked up like a dry set of pork ribs in need of a mopping. I look forward to sharing my...

My timing has been a bit off these last 2 days. I've been scrambling to finish cooks and serve and not taking time to get as many pics as I'd like. Here's what I have.... Last night's tri tip, reverse seared on the Small Egg: These items all cooked around dinner time. Turkey in the...

I hadn't cooked chicken bombs in at least a couple of years. Figured I was way past due so I cooked some today using chicken thighs, bacon, shredded cold smoked pepper jack cheese mixed with cream cheese, and jalapenos. I didn't want the chicken to be done before the bacon was crisped so I...

So I was told I'm the chef at the family BBQ on July 4th, which is fine, but where we are having it only has a BGE and a gas grill. In-law's brother is letting us use his house and pool on the 4th while he us out of town. I have zero experience with a kamado cooker, and frankly, never really...

Tonybel's post got me motivated to try some lengua tacos for Memorial Day. Got about a 5 lber. Then I skinned it. It's no harder than filleting a fish. Then I tied it and rubbed it and put it on BGE at 275° At 11:40 am. I took it off and wrapped it at 160° with a little beer. It's...

Friends... I purchased a Big Green Egg over the weekend. I have never cooked on one. For the BGE aficionados out there, what is your favorite thing to do on yours? What should my maiden voyage be? Is there something a little different that cooks especially well on a BGE? Thanks!

First try for a Tri-Tip (pun intended.) I picked up about a three lb Tri-Tip from HEB. I seasoned it with Montreal Steak Seasoning at about 10am this morning and put it back in the fridge. I pulled it out after 6 hours and dusted it with garlic powder and allowed it to get to room temp. I really...

I found this hibachi pot at a local second hand store. I paid $120 for it. I'm trying to find out some information on it, but haven't had any luck. Even Google doesn't have a lot of info. I was told it is a collectors item and should just sell it on eBay or craigslist. Any help would be greatly...

Howdy!! Ok, first pork shoulder (butt) in the BGE. I've been about 250F - 275F for about 6 hours give or take. It is just now starting to look nice..there is a glaze to it with the mango marinade and mop I've done today. It is internal about 160F according to the Thermopen. Now...trying to...

Hello all!! Well, I did my first cooking on my BGE XL....all I can say is, WOW! :) I was experimenting last night with different veggies and a grass fed ribeye....yum! However, I found out the hard way, that my leather grill gloves I had were quite insufficient for the high heats that the BGE...

Hi all, Ok, I have my BGE on the way. Of course I'm gonna wanna smoke a few things on it...seems a bit more convenient to do rather than have to stoke wood into the good old Bandera style smoker. But I'm wondering...? 1. Difference in the final product? I mean with smoker, I am burning wood...

Hi. Great site. I had a really basic question about competition Q that I cant find anywhere. From my understanding each judge (about 5 of them) each get 5 pieces of meat in a box. So if each judge gets 5 ribs, and there are 5 judges, you need to make at a minimum 25 ribs. OK thats fine...

Hello! How is everyone doing tonight?! I hope all is well. J I am very happy to have found this forum. I love to cook and especially out on my deck on the grill. I am looking forward to making new friends here and learning lots! I have been cooking on my weber kettle and my OTP for years...

I have a lg grill dome and Maverick ET-73 dual probe thermometer. For Thanksgiving I attempted to smoke an expensive 20 lb turkey @325-340 for an expected 5-6 hrs. It was done in 2 1/2 hr. The internal temp climbed quick and I didnt believe it ar first so I got dry breasts but excellent dark...

Doing a build this weekend and wondering how hard this is. Anything special I need to know? Any pics to help?

Hey everyone. Long time no see. I picked up a small BGE the other day for the low low price of FREE! It looked to be in pretty good shape and I got the nest with it. It looks like the previous owner left the cast iron cap on and it is stuck. I have only tried to remove it with my hands and a...
