Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Rockin th EGG tonight !

Served up a full course meal on my EGG tonight.



I done up some BBQ drummies, sweet corn on the cobb, & some whole baked potatoes.



Glad I went with the XL EGG. It's nice having all the room to move the food around when cooking several things at once. Kept the potatoes off to the very edge, as to miss the plate setter & cook them more direct. Left chicken & corn more towards center. Stabilized the temp @ around 375-400 degrees & let the EGG work its magic!

Best damn meal I've ate in a long time!

Getting up early in the morning & tossing on a rack of spare ribs. Can't wait to try the 3-2-1 method out on the EGG.

That's enough for me ...what are u going to eat?....u can have your phone back...the beers mine to- btw lol

RB a piece of tin foil in between the grate and plate setter makes for an easier clean-up.

Also, were it me I would go 3-1-1 on the ribs. Heck I hardly even use the foiling anymore. Really, depends on how much time I have. Definitely, do not sauce until ready to serve. No sauce in the foil. Gives a rank flavor.

Just my. 02.

Good eggin!

I really can't believe how well this thing does on food. Chicken is just unreal on it! Cooked chicken 3 different times on it already & have had it less than a week. It is so damn moist that it is unbelievable! Great flavor to boot! My potatoes were excellent tonight also. I cooked them way off to the side, as to miss the plate setter & cook them more direct. The skin was kinda crispy on them. Perfect by my standards.

RB you need some real bbq sauce tho..........

I'm all ears my friend!

Jalapeno Barbecue & Dipping Sauce is my favorite here...not to hot and the flavor kicks ass!

LAVA Hot Scorpion BBQ Sauce is my favorite here...the bomb on pulled pork sammiches

and ditch the husks on the corn.....you will thank me later

GEEZ ... remind me to never have you over for a backyard cook. So you don't like my choice in sauce on the chicken & the corn is no good cooked with the husks. Would you at least sample the potatoes?

Ditto!

Got up at 5am and lit a fire in the EGG. Went to my wood shed and picked out some nice big chunks of Hickory & Apple and mixed it in with my lump charcoal. Threw on a nice big rack of spare ribs & a boston butt. Having a gathering today for Pops b-day. Hope it all turns out!



Here's what the rack of ribs looked like before slapping them on the grill. Coated them in French's mustard and rubbed them down with some Grill Mate BBQ rub.



This EGG is very addicting!

I slather corn in butter, sprinkle some morton's seasoning salt on, put it in foil, put some chunks of butter in with it, wrap it up and set in on the BGE. Its the first thing on, and the last thing off. It always comes out great.

You got that right. I've had mine for a few months, and I've probably been through a truck load of lump charcoal. I sometimes do 2-3 cooks a day.

I just grill it direct without husks or wrapping it...just nekkid ears of corn. Let it char a little on each side which caramelizes it a bit. then just butter and salt to eat.

Get a drip pan or some foil on your plate setter

Yup and for all the right and obvious reasons.

Doesn't Green Egg advertise their ceramic cookers as being self-cleaning? Next time I cook with the plate setter @ higher temps, will it not cook off? Just curious ... I'm a 1st time user. How would I go about getting the plate setter clean? Warm water or scrape clean after getting it good n hot? I'm not to worried about appearance on the inside of my Egg, just don't want to start getting flame-ups.

Beyond the obvious flare up risk that you point out.....integrity of the plate setter for one. I've seen several crack based on hot liquild build up. Also if you're using sugar based rubs you don't want all that goo collecting inside your cooker. It will eventually effect the flavor of the cooked products.

Clean up is always top of mind for me so yeah maybe I am a bit ocd here. The plate setter will self clean but a simple piece of foil will go a long ways.

BTW plate setters are NOT part of the LT warranty.

But hey! I'm just glad to see you using it as much as you are. When I started egging some 20 years ago on the old style design I wore my first one out in the first year. It was an everyday thing for me. Of course they're much better made now.

I am about to pass one on to a fellow fire member. Curious to see if he really gets into it. As you know it requires patience.

Happy egging!

Are you kidding me ... these things will wear out? I was planning on being able to pass this one down to the kiddo. Figured it will be around much longer than I am.

The design you now have should last forever. The ones before were very fragile and could not accept temps above 350 or so. The newer ceramics versus clay made all the difference.

Nothing to worry about for sure.
