Dude, that looks yummy! Can't wait to sink my teeth into that ham!

Shipping cost to Ivanpah? :P

hey sweet green egg. I just did 2 pork butts fri into sat
15 hr smoke for a friends birthday. Glad to see im not the only green egg guy here. I have an xl egg and ive been able
to do 8 racks of ribs at one time. heres a pic of at least 6 racks not little baby backs either full racks.

huh i cant see my pic? i did an attachment?
whats up?

Man, just the bbq will make the trip worthwhile! I was planning to do up another shoulder in my ol' cajun cooker to bring with, but with such beautiful butts, doesn't look like I need to! mmmm... :piggy:

Just wondering, is it difficult to add your charcoal to the green egg with the rack loaded like that? That looks like one sweet bbq machine! My ol' cajun cooker(at least 10 yrs old, now) needs retirement, and though the eggs are spendy, I've heard they are worth every penny.

on a slow smoke i can cook 15 hrs without adding any charcoal just oak or hickery or ur choice of hardwood for flavor. the ceramic egg keeps it at a steady temp without using much lump charcoal.
Please help. I am putting pics in an attachment but they are not uploading what am i doing wrong?

Not being a techie, I mostly fumble through, but from what I understand you can only post up to a certain size pic by direct attachment.(not sure of size limit, something like 640x480?) Otherwise you can use the img code somehow to link to a hosted photo site like flikr, or photobucket, etc. sorry I can't help you further, someone will surely correct me... :duh:

Ill try again i resized thanks for the help, i hope it works my computer skills are limited.

one more anyone else smoke after kiting?

mmmmm..... making me want to smoke right now! lol its only 27 deg F here in upstate NY right now, but I'm wanting to fire up the grill!

Well here it is-



started with 24 lbs and after cooking and pulling have about 10 lbs finished, and it tastes really goooood! From past cooks i know that a pound of cooked will make 6-8 healthy sandwiches, so am figuring that i will bring 4-5 lbs to the bash. I will make a NC vinegar based sauce to be added when you make your sandwich.


Bob,
I have a large egg and refilled the charcoal after about 8hrs of cooking, probably did not need to but i started at 3:30 in the afternoon yesterday, so to be safe and not having to get up in the middle of the night loaded it up around 11:00 last night. Butts were finished at 8 this morning so about 17 hours. kept the grill at 230 for the first eight hours with apple and hickory for smoke then when refueled pushed it up to 250 and added a little more hickory. Butts were rubbed with "dizzy pig coarse grind" on friday afternoon. As for the egg- it is the bomb- i choked on the price as well but can honestly say that there is nothing like it - i have done butts and ribs in the middle of winter with 6-8 inches of snow on the ground, and we cook whole chickens and pizzas regularly. It is how we cook in the summer time use it at least 2-3 times a week.

Now you've gone and got me droolin' all over myself! :D I love the roasted pork!

Can I be your neighbor at NABX?

Those butts look good. After a few days on consultation with Scott, I picked up my own egg. I had been watching craigslist for a very long time and got lucky and found one used. I did some chickens yesterday and then did a clean up burn today. I just finished cleaning it out. I'm going to put the new seal in this week so it will be ready for next weekend.

Hey Scotty that's awesome man!! I'm gonna cook up a pot of baked beans for the BBQ - can't wait !!!

Aaannnnnd... done.

All this egg talk got me motivated, so I just replaced the seal on mine. We'll let it set up for 24 hours to see how I did.

I wish I was there with you to enjoy some of that pork. It looks amazing!

As Mr. Ted Nugent once said...

"I'm startin to drool all over myself
I got the droolin', droolin'
get all wet, salivate, salivate
I got salivate late, salivate late, salivate late
Got salivate, salivate,
salivate, salivate, heh heh heh"

I'll bring plenty of napkins

Gonna have to salivate,
'Til I can start to masticate! :evil::piggy:

Ted also said: "Kill it and grill it!"

Gotta' love the Nudge...

smell this..

and this... 20 LB turkey for thanksgiving. I built my grill out of a piece of 25 inch steel pipe that was scrapped out of the Great Lakes dredge "Long Island"It weighs about 900 lbs . The cooking surface is 36 inches X 25.5 inches. I will post up some pics when I find em'.Can't wait for some BBQ in WW!

You guys are killing me here!

Keep it up!!!....this should get Todd out of that hospital bed faster

I've been thinking of getting a Big Green Egg, or a nice offset smoker like the Horizon. The price of these would not fly beneath the wife's radar. I did find a smoker for under a hundred bucks (in the states they are on amazon.com).

I've done some nice ribs and chicken as well as some wicked salmon. It takes a bit of practice to "dial" it in, but for under a hundred bucks it was worth it simply for the fact that the food was so good that it has made the wife "consider" a BGE or a nice Offset smoker.

the whole gizmo folds up fairly small into a carrying case. with an adapter hose it hooks up easily to a normal 20lb propane tank rather than using the pricey little green ones.

Prairie- that looks like an interesting item for when i am on the river for a few days or so- as for the green egg- Once your wife trys something off the egg she will be hooked. I bought a medium one used and once the wife tasted the goodness- she pushed me to get a large because it means she gets even more good grill'ns. And since i think you are in the great cold north remember you can grill in the snow with a BGE.

I'm pushin' for the egg for sure. Pushed so hard for the egg the last time that I ended up with a daughter. The portable smokin' unit is the Bradley Propane Smoker. 99bucks in Canada and in the 80 to 90 buck range in the u.s. .

It's just getting warm enough up here to think about getting it on the go again!

i have many smokers and grills they all work good. gas
smokers are great in the winter. but by far the best and most expensive is my xl green egg. price tag over a grand.
i have never regreted it. I cook on it 300 days a year. My wife at the time thought i was crazy to buy it, now she
loves it. Here are some ribs waiting to go on.

mmm good looking ribs. What ingredients do I see there in your dry rub?
