Some recent Small & Mini BGE cooking
 

I was curious to see how much meat I could fit on my Mini BGE so I crammed a 5 lb bone-in shoulder into it. I needed the help of a couple of silicone bands to help squeeze it in:

The dome thermometer had to be pulled out some to keep it from skewering the pork upon closing the dome:

The butt went to my fantasy football draft where I forgot to take a photo of it until the draft was over and it had sat drying a bit in a chafer:

For the Small Egg I found this nice looking tri-tip:

Rubbed with Rub Co Original & Santa Maria and cooked indirect with red oak smoke wood until IT hit about 115:

Then seared on all sides:

And sliced:

Thanks for looking!

Yum! :clap:

sweet!

Aw man, that's a beautiful tri-tip right there. At least I don't know what I'm missing. Nice eggsecution. :thumb:

Nice cook, you dun good!
Thanks for the pics.

That tri tip looks the goods right now, but I bet the pork was great too!

Nice work John! Yoda and Yaddle are getting a workout!

Looks good from here!

Great cooks John... I REALLY like the tri tip. That is perfectly done!

I'd be curious to learn more about the silicone bands...

It cracks me up when I see these cooks on these tiny little eggs. I'm surprised you don't cut off all the air circulation it's so crammed. I keep expecting to see you using bungie cords on the outside of the egg to hold the lid closed and doing a hybrid BBQ-pressure cook at the same time! :laugh:

Food looks great, as always, BTW.

Great cooks That food looks awesome

Thanks all for the compliments!


Mongo, the bands are great for using in place of cooking twine. They're food safe & can handle up to 600 degrees. The product looks like what we have (our packaging was thrown out long ago so I don't remember the brand).

Hmm, I need to buy some cords and try that! :becky:

Thx Gore!

Looks fantastic John!!

Now that looks great!
