I ended up the recipient of the medium green egg he was offering up to anyone that would use it. We both happened to be off work Friday, so I made the drive to Chicagoland to pick up my new toy. Bill couldn't have been more generous,and said if I used it once this year I would make more use of it than he had in quite some time. I let him know that if I ever pass it along it will be in a similar charitable fashion.
Well I've had it since Friday,and fired it up three times already. It's a great size for me, as I'm usually just cooking a lone ranger item. Thanks Bill, I've had a ton of fun already with your "vintage" green egg. All I did was buy a nest,and I was ready to roll.
So this morning I couldn't sleep. At about 4 am I watched an episode of project smoke where he did a version of what amounts to a McRib. For my version I used big Bob Gibson rub,and a thin tangy cheap BBQ sauce as an homage to McDonald's. Open pit is cheap,but has its place in the BBQ world.
Smoked some heavily trimmed baby backs on the egg for a couple hours.
Wrapped in the usual comp wrap style over cooking on purpose so the bones would be pullable.
Pulled from foil,and they broke in half. Sauced with the open pit, and put back on for a few minutes.
Switched out the diverter plate for direct grate,and toasted my buttered roll.
Carefully removed the bones from a half rack, and built my rib sandwich.
Thanks for sticking with my story, and thanks Bill-Chicago for my new toy.
