also, from experience, you do not need to buy the extras that are made by green egg...get the cheaper stuff

My first cut was a brisket. It turned out about a B. I wrapped it too far into the stall.

Yes. Good memory. That was also a problem. I was cooking for 2 1/2 people and a full one would’ve been thrown away.

I haven’t, but that sounds tempting and right up my alley.

Thinking of doing a couple of racks of spare ribs and some sausage tomorrow.

Getting a late start here, but I'm about to start a flame and put a pork shoulder on. I plan to eat around 10-11pm Houston time.

Everyone in the house is asleep. More hickory just went on. It's a dry 75 degrees outside, and the baby's backyard play tent is still set up from earlier. I might set my watch and take a nap in there shortly.

My Egg dude runs a little shop and is doing the delivery himself with his truck. I have a feeling he’s going to cancel since it’s still raining. I also feel like I’m going to cancel the delivery and pick the darn thing up myself.

4 wheel. Think I can get the large up a flight of stairs on my own?
