gonna get an egg tonight

[MilitantSquatter]

I'm sure the sausage was not messy.
not sure how others do it with their BGE's.. but in the future consider adding a layer of foil or a drip pan on the plate setter to keep it clean..

wonder why BGE never designed a drip plate in the same shape as the plate setter ? I guess this another advantage of tjv's set ups.. round drip pan resting on round plate setter (pizza stone)

I use a deep pizza pan I picked up from TJV and line it with foil. He's got some great eggcessories, and is just up the road in Denton. That nice clean egg will be nice and grungy in no time. Nothing like sleeping 8 hrs when cooking brisket or butts.

Welcome. Do a few loaw and slows, like chicken or ribs/pork. Then about the 5th time, you won't have to worry. Doing low and slow will teach you temperature control.

Then get a Guru or a Stoker.

My large is in a nest. My med in a table. I'm really thinking of building an offroad table for my large since I compete with it. If it stays in one spot a nest will do fine. If you leave it in one spot and want storage, build a table. BGE table is overpriced IMO.

Here's my $30 table.

I got a cast iron grate for the medium. It's a steak grilling machine. I picked up a ss grate from TJV for the large. I'm too rough for the porcelin coated.

if you load the firebox with large and medium lump charcoal pieces, and leave the top off and the bottom vent completely open, you will have flames shooting out of the dome and the thermometer lapping itself in 30 minutes.

Yeah - been there, done that.... :icon_blush:

here's the very best advice i can give you if you have questions about the egg gaskets, warranty, or other issues.

CALL OR EMAIL THE MOTHERSHIP IN ATLANTA.
here's the contact page on their website:

and so it is written :biggrin:

oh yeah, i almost forgot this part. you are gonna love that egg !

oh yeah, i almost forgot, if you get a nomex gasket, put it in the dryer for about ten minutes to preshrink it before you glue it on. i read that on the bge forum recently. seems to make sense... i think

I could probably do a tutorial on replacing felt and Rutland gaskets! I better call CS- I see Nomex in my future!

Have fun with your new Egg!
