So I've been wanting a Big Green Egg for the last few years. We've been living in condos so I haven't even even thought about pulling the trigger. Last summer, we moved into a house. My birthday is this summer and I've been hinting to my wife that it might finally be the time to get one.
And guess what. I get home today and look out the back window and there, sitting next to my $35 weber clone, is a shiny green egg. It was a large and she found it through a friend of a friend for $300!! It's in great shape and even had a nest included. My birthday is two months away but my wife had to get it early because she didn't want me to miss out on the great Texas spring cooking weather...total surprise and I was not expecting it.
I called a few friends today and they are bringing over steaks tomorrow night! Any suggestions for cooking steaks? The fun begins!
So, a few quick questions. Would you guys recommend the factory BGE thermometer? I guess his original one broke and so it has some unknown unnamed thermometer sticking out of it, actually looks like a meat thermometer he stuck in the hole.
I'm going to a dealer tomorrow to pick up a plate setter and maybe a pizza stone. Anything else I should consider? It has the rain cap as well as the vented cap. Will be picking up lump as well and am planning on a slow smoke for this weekend.
I haven't posted but a few times here but I plan on bringing you guys some nice pron this summer.
