What Are You Chef-ing Tonight, Dr?
I think it's going to be leftovers for us; and I feel the urge to bake some professional cookies using a recipe derived from the scientific method. Posted by (I'd have to look) on my cookie thread. Tasty Beverage: Dr Pepper

Charcoal for Long vs Hot Cooks - do you use different coals?
Greetings all, My everyday charcoal is Jelous Devil: lumps seem consistent and work well at high or low temps. However, I did a long cook (18+ hours) in my Large Egg and it burned out. My question: is there a charcoal you use for long cooks or is 18 hours about the time I will get out of a Large?

Quick Light™ Kit - Burning from the bottom up?
I got an email from Big Green Egg about the new accessory. It looks interesting but I was wondering about the impact of starting the fire from the bottom rather than from the top. I will admit I don't have a clue whether it makes a difference. When I grill I usually fill the egg up and then place a starter (or two)…

To wrap or not to wrap - St Louis Ribs
Sunday Funday all, 2 hours into a cook with these ribs and I just gave them a glaze with Mike's Hot Honey. Not sure the wrap is needed, solid 250, but welcome your advice. In addition to the ribs, I have prepped some Mac & Cheese that is about to go into the oven and I have some slaw too. Hope everyone is having a fine…

BGE cook with 100% wood, what were your results?
After watching some of the offset cookers use only wood, I'm wondering who has already tried just wood in a BGE and what were the results. TIA.

Brisket success finally!
So. I've shied away from brisket for the past several years because of poor results. I recently had the opportunity to watch Aaron Franklin on Masterclass and picked up a few things that gave me enough courage to give it another go. I loaded up the Egg with mostly hickory chunks and the rest lump, 50- 60% hickory. Lit the…

Swordfish on The Egg: Marinate or Dry-rub - which do you prefer?
Greetings Eggers - Living in Metro-West Boston, I have access to all sorts of seafood. Swordfish is a favorite, and I have tried marinating as well as dry-rubbing (with Old Bay). My Dad used to wrap it in salt pork to add flavor and protect the fish: he often had the heat too high :-) I have found dry-rubbing keeps the…

Best Finish for a Acacia Wood table?
Greetings all, My table is just over a year old and the MA weather is starting to take a toll. After a bit of sanding, what do you recommend using to protect it? The place where I bought it says "food-safe mineral oil" but that does not seem durable. What are you using on your tables? Thank you!

XXL
Thinking of selling my XXL, I haven’t fired it up in a long time. I use my L or my independent smoker for bigger smokes. It’s been a long time since I’ve been on, I thought there was a classified section in the forums. Located near Pittsburgh. Please delete of not allowed. Thanks!

Friday night and the EggHead Forum option of the forum choices is eerie quiet- I need to get a life!
The title says it all. Chasing the end of the not so endless summer comes to mind. Guilty here as no BGE cook rolling tonight and playing with live fire Saturday. Surely Friday night shenanigans are on the horizon. Edit for fat finger correction.

OT - For Car Lovers: Some Recent Exotic Spottings
Have come across quite a few exotics/fun cars as of late - many of which I had previously only seen on paper/monitors. I have always loved cars but have never owned anything too extravagant. A 2011 5.0 was my wildest buy to date, and I suspect the future holds only family-appropriate vehicles, so the sun may have set on…
