First cook on XL BGE

hrchdog · Aug 2, 2012

Well I put two porkbutts weighing 21lb on at 6:30 this morning, dome stabilized at 275 and internal temp of one butt is already 125. Shooting for a 4:30-5:00 pulled pork dinner, will try to get pics when finished. I've been keeping a log on the hour of temps and grill settings as far as openings on the daisey wheel and damper on bottom.

You haven't hit the stall yet. I would guess about 6:30 - 7:00 being done.

You might need to adjust your pit temp to get done sooner.

Well it ended up taking 13 hours, found out I need to calibrate thermometer. First pic is of my smoking area that will be turned into an outdoor kitchen this spring, then pics of the Q.

A good lesson for everyone: first step is to calibrate the therm. I just brought home a new one for my large and I will definitely check it before first use!

Great looking set up!

Nice first cook! That long cook should cover your break-in period on your gasket as well.

Great looking pork. You will enjoy your BGE. I have been cooking on a large for several years from low and slow to hot and fast and have never been disappointed with the results. Enjoy!
