first cook on BGE

[Griff]

I decided to do something simple the first time to get a feel for how it cooks, etc. and to burn out any leftover stuff from the manufacturing process. So I just fired it up and let it hum for a while. Twenty minutes after I started it, the temp was 650*. I'm convinced it could sustain a lot higher temp if wanted. Outside temp was 10*.


I grilled a couple of fillets for New Years Eve dinner.


Happy New Year to all.

Tasty looking steak there Griff. Did you get the large or the x-large egg?

 

[LarryWolfe]

Griff,
Great looking steaks (Prime I bet )

Did you use lump?

 

[zilla]

Thats a good looking steak. I'd love to get a small BGE for week night grilling.

 

[Griff]

Thanks guys. My wife totally surprised me this year with BGE. I'd have never guessed. It's the large BGE and yep, I used lump. Larry, the side dish is a pear salad (pear chunks, honey and orange juice mixed, pecans and crumbled blue cheese).

Yes it does, there is just no substitute for high heat with a steak.

Nice job Griff. Dizzy pig does a lot of hot grilling on his. Maybe when I hit the lottery I will get one of those too.

(Are you going to get one of those big wood tables for it? so you're less likely to knock it over? )

Congratulations! I've been eyeing ceramic cookers primarily for grilling/roasting purposes. Keep us up to date on how you like it.

Great cookers.but a bit expensive.No replacement parts needed and if used for low and slow ,lump goes a long way.These are a one time investment,you will be giving it to your kids in your will.Yes I may be a bit biased but they are great cookers.

Aaron,
Thanks for the info. I wish they were a little bigger. The largest tend to 18". I'd love to add one to my collection, though.
