Big Green Egg

No offense to other wives,but my wife is the best! This father’s day (my first), she gifted me the most amazing, awesome, mouth-watering grill in the world, the Big Green Egg.

This thing is amazing and I plan to post a log of most of our cooking here.

On its debut I baked bread, cooked a whole chicken, and grilled steaks, kebabs, and sausages, and salmon for the baby.  What a day!

If you don’t know the Big Green Egg, it is a (heavy, 140 pound) ceramic grill and smoker that runs off of hardwood lump charcoal.  With very little charcoal, this puppy is able to burn for hours.  The temperature is easily adjustable by setting the vents (on top and bottom) to allow or restrict the airflow inside and it gets very hot – up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit or more!  Within 10 minutes of lighting the coals, my egg was at 600F!

The foods thus far produced by my Egg have been fantastic.  Juicy, perfectly seared, and visually appealing too!

In the near future, I’ll be building a table for the Egg so look forward to that and more cooking adventures!
