Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire First pizza of the season on the Big Green Egg (pic heavy)

Nothing else comes close.

Dammit, I thought BGE's were too expensive, but now I sportin wood thinkin bout the sear I could get on my steaks with those 800 degree temps.

I'd have to hook up a leaf blower to my Webber propane & change the jets to gt it that hot.

I’ve got a Weber, a Bradley smoker and a Kamado egg. The Weber is good for quick stuff, but when I want something low and slow or a great sear on a steak, I fire up the egg. I’ve found the Bradley is quicker to set up than the egg but too much of a PITA to clean after use.

I almost pulled the trigger on a Traeger today but decided not to bother. I’ll sell the Bradley, too.

BTW, that looks Ike awesome pizza, duck.

speaking of pizza, i just got done munching one i made in the oven. tried a new recipe for the dough. this is a keeper.

6 cups self rising flour
4 cups plain greek yogurt

i use a kitchenaid with a dough hook and let it mix for 15 min. you have to toss a pinch or two of flour on the ball during the mix to keep it from sticking but then it makes a nice ball. leave it covered for a few hours and then split it into 2 balls, each one makes a 16" pie and rolls out really easy.

i was skeptical but this is worth trying

Isn’t the Komodo a BGE “knock off” ? That’s the one shaped similar to the BGE, but all metal I believe .

Nice thing about the BGE is I can also hold 180, or 220, or whatever and go slow and low for (usually) 12-18 hours with minimal, or no intervention.

The pastrami I am going to make this week goes 12 hours in the BGE at 170 for smoke, then I sous vide it for 48 hours. FALL. APART.

Yeah. My FiL has one of those. Translation: Traeger pays a lot for marketing.

Traeger's are a POS.

.Not very impressed.

Different people have different tastes, needs, and budgets. Most solutions can be made to work with enough attention.

Like yours:

That’s a cute picture but Traegers are pieces of schit.

If you're going to try to be funny, can you succeed every now and again?

Thanks.
