Toast the crust before putting on toppings? Pard did that and it turned out great. Haven't tried pizza yet, but it's on the shortlist.

Well, after three years of non-action my wife brought home a Big Green Egg for me. It is the large.
So far I've done ribs, spatchCOCK chicken, brautwurst, baked potatoes, porkloin, ribeyes and filets on this bad boy and it is pretty impressive.
I think its most most amazing attributes are the ability to achieve high temps and the efficiency (low use of fuel) is pretty amazing. Can't say it makes BBQ any better than a regular pit but it is air tight enough to negate the need for foil or anything like that in the final stages.
Travis Welcome to another addiction. I've had mine for 4-5 years and they are great. Got an XL and love it. But also have a small pellet grill. They both have their place and pluses and minuses. Just got get to know how to use your equipment. We all gotta eat may as well eat good.

I have the L BGE. If doing it again I would go XL without a doubt.

Any of you guys doing turkey for Thanksgiving? I did a test run the other night. 13lb bird @ 325 was done in just under 3 hours.
And it was damn good. May have to stuff it for actual game day.

I wanted to bump this and advise anyone that has been on the fence about a BGE, just do it.
They are the best bang for the buck out there. A true do all cooker.

6lb shoulder on for some pulled pork - Using a single starter of lump and a half dozen pieces of hickory and it will be trouble free for whatever it takes to get it to 195 - Love the egg.

Pugs, what size is your BGE? It looks about right for what I want to do.

Even better - no man ever said they wish they had bought a smaller grill or a smaller TV. The Chimney starter works well for me and I find that it gets up to temp quicker than starting the charcoal in the egg itself.

Nothing wrong with the chimney starters to try and speed things up. I use them all the time in my PK Grill for SCA competitions. The thing is with the BGE's I see no benefit, but that's just my experience. Whether you use a chimney or light in the egg, it still takes about the the same amount of time to get the egg stabilized and cooking. The benefit of the BGE is the stability the ceramic produces when it gets hot and ready to cook. If you're looking for a quick cook those little Hibatchi's are awesome, and I'm not [bleep] you, they will cook anything quickly. But, I will cook the same food the same way on my small and mini BGE's and you will like it better every time.
Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.
I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

That's my experience.
Honestly, if I'm just grilling with my BGE on the weekdays I just keep relighting the same pile. All the ash just sorta falls off into the bottom.
