Ribs---Good Eats!

Our 2nd attempt on the egg was a little bit more adventerous than the 1st one. We attempted baby back ribs and they turned out eggcellent! We used the 3/1/1.5 method except we switched the 1 and 1.5 cooking times. We started the whole process around 2pm, Saturday afternoon with plans to eat them around 8 pm, but ran into some difficulties lighting the egg and getting the temp. to a constant 250 degrees and didn't eat until after 930pm. But once we got under control it was a no brainer and were able to set it and forget for 3 hours.

Just before the foil wrap


After 1.5 Hours in foil

After 1 hour with sauce and turing every 15 minutes

All cut up and ready to EAT!

Note: we did this with a homeade plate setter and no bbq guru to maintain the temp.

My 1st Cook---Fajitas!

Our 1st cook on the BGE was Fajitas, and man were they good! We chose not to do them directly on the charcoal and went for the traditional grilling on the grates. We brought the Egg up to 500 degrees and then threw on the meat. We grilled on each side for 2 minutes and the shut the whole egg down and left on for 3 minutes and when they came off they were a perfect medium doneness (alan will argue that is was a little medium rare for his tastes), but a perfect temp for the wife! The thicker part of the skirt steak could have stayed on for a little bit longer.

The marinade is 2 limes squeezed, one serrano pepper finely diced and some chilli powder and red pepper, and salt and pepper to taste. Check out the good eats below!

It Finally Has Arrived!!!

We finally got our EGG! It has been on long month but it finally arrived Saturday morning. It only took 45 minutes for Alan to get it all put together. Just in time to cook some fajitas on it for dinner. So taking after Russ (the influence for making this purchase) you aren't truly and Egghead unless you have a blog and post your cooks for all the other Egghead's to see. I have never thought of or been so excited to see a piece of meat cook and document the whole process until we purchased the Egg.

One of the easiest things to put together!
