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…

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…

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?

Who else loves Over The Top Chili and What is your favorite meat mix?
Greetings all, Once I tried the Over The Top method for chili, I don't think I will ever go back. I normally use beef, but sometimes use a ground beef and pork combination. I am also experimenting with smoking different peppers too. What is your go-to blend for the meat and your tips to enhance the chili? Cheers, Toby

Chinese Spareribs
Got this marinade/glaze recipe from The Woks of Life. Bill had an elaborate set of instructions for cooking them in the oven, but I decided to try the 3-2-1 method.
