I broke the BGE in this weekend.

Started off smoking 3 butts for the night of the opener. Learned a lesson.....if you get up to check your smoke, make sure you open the lid very carefully or, at least check the dsaisy wheel to make sure it didn't move....mine did. I checked it at hour 9 of the smoke and the temp didn't budge from 205. I got back a few hours later from the hunt and the temp alarm was going off and the egg was at 275. It could have been worse I guess. The internal at that time was 208. I freaked a little and tried to call Jon and Russ to ask for help. I shut it down, pulled the butts, wrapped them in celophane and put them in a cooler. It worked like a charm. they were great!!

Also took my shot at gratons this weekend.



They were a big hit and didn't last very long. I should have cooked more than 5 pounds



Also blew through this pyramid :lol:



Fired it up again this evening (same charcoal) and cooked a couple of pizzas

a couple of more cooks and you won't have to worry about the daisy wheel moving during your cook. If yours is anything like mine, it will clot up with grease/smoke and get to where it is difficult to move. Occasionally, I will put the whole daisy wheel down into the fire to cook everything off after a cook, but I hate doing this because it does make everything so loose.

Slinger - don't get frustrated. Post up the troubles that you are having and we will try to fix them. You just need to get some cook time under your belt.

I'm eating some pulled pork right now as I type. I tried the Capts salt and cayenne coating and have to say that I really like it. The best thing is that my wife commented that whatever coating I have on the pork was really good. I did a 24hr cook on my butt and I'm really pleased with the results. I would feed it to anyone. Capt your right about the daisy wheel. Mine is so greased up that it would take a cutting torch to open the wheel.
Hizz I don't like the idea you don't have me on the BGE speed dial.

it doesn't take long to get them stuck, the Daisey Wheel that is.


I actually baked some biscuits on mine the other day. Got up early and the wife and kid were asleep so I made some homemade biscuits and though, hmmmmmmmmmm let's try the BGE, turned out great.
