SuperBalla Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I have 15 lbs of baby back ribs, purchased from my best friend, the local butcher. The rub went on yesterday. The Egg, lump charcoal, and cherry wood are ready. About 5 hours of low and slow, indirect cooking on the Egg--followed by an hour of light mopping with my smoked onion bbq sauce. Snacks include home-made onion dip, chili dip, stuffed mushrooms (herbs and cheese), and jalepeno poppers (along with chips, pretzels, etc.) Sides include home made mac and cheese, home made baked beans, and some vegetable dishes that people are bringing over. Dessert, I made a cheese cake and my wife made her famous, no flour, chocolate tort. Two televisions with direct TV football package and ales aplenty. And the Gators beat the vols last night. sigh...Life is good. 999511[/snapback] Yum...

untateve Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 nice meal this evening. I always wonder if everyone is enjoying a feast as much as me. It was nice when, at the end of the evening, a couple of the guys spontaneously asked if they could take home some of the left over ribs (I tend to make too much, just to make sure no one leaves hungry). Now, if only portis could go off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deacon Bill Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 The Egg is a very heavy ceramic--it holds heat nicely. You have an adjustable vent on the bottom and one on the top. Because it is ceramic, in combination with the vents, it's very easy to control the temp. I've done low and slow from 180-190 degrees, to searing a steak at 800 degrees. I have cooked as long as 20 hours on one load. You can set up a regular and place another metal rack on top of that for direct cooking. It is also possible to set up indirect cooking with a plate setter. [Plate setter--think pizza stone with legs] Invert the plate setter and place the metal rack on top. That's the set up I'm using today with my ribs. under the metal rack, but on top of the plate setter is a water pan filled with apple juice. Right now, I've got the temp at 210 degrees and it will hold steady for hours until I adjust vents. I use lump charcoal and on long cooks (pork butt, ribs, etc), I mix in the wood I want within the lump. I think I answered all your questions. Any others? I'm always happy to talk about the Egg. 1000030[/snapback] Is the egg a Florida phenomenen? My brother in law lives in Lake Mary, and he bought one. He swears by it. We went down to visit him in June, and I'm here to tell ya' that it's the real deal. He even cooked pizza on the doggone thing. Thinking of buying one myself, but the larger version of the egg is kinda' pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
