BGE - The Big Green Egg
So a few of you asked that I post pics of the BGE, the BGE "in action", and the finished product so you can grap on an idea of how it does. Even though I left these steaks on a minute longer (crappy meat themometer lied to me) than I normally would, they still came out great.
Here's a pic of it when I got it new: Inside, not a bad sized cooking area, and you can use the whole grate instead of just the middle or just the sides (since it cooks evenly): Steaks on the BGE, mmmm, hickory smoke: And the final product (ignore the fungus on top): So, there you have it. I still haven't gotten the sear down perfectly yet, but these were seared fairly well. I'm believing the claim that you have to try really hard to make a dry piece of meat in this thing. So those of you who have been thinking about getting one for a while, go for it. Edit: Had to fix the above images since I moved my hosting. Here are some newer pics too: Beer pan for brisket: Finished brisket: Ribs on the smoker: Finished ribs: Prepped salmon. Best salmon evAr. Sorry, no finished pics of the salmon though.

I am!! !I was just thinking on the way to work today that I should as for a BGE update. The cart stand is nice too.
Have you seen any info on how it deals with extreme climates (being left outside in them)? |

Yummy man. I've heard about the BGE on here but have no experience with one. Can you tell me where to get one, and how much? That steak is exactly how I like it, well, maybe a hair too done, but still Delish looking.

What kind of mushrooms are those? I'd love to add to the flavor of my already awesome grilled salt and pepper ribeye.

Edit: Woops. The cost of that BGE (that's the large one) was $700. Last edited by aod; 05-18-2005 at 10:03 AM. |

Now close your fist (don't squeeze at all, stay relaxed) and press the same area -- that's "medium". Tighten your fist and press again -- that's what "well done" feels like. -A |

norseone: take your left hand and touch your thumb and index finger together, now take your right pointer finger and touch the palm of your hand right under your thumb. That is what rare meat should feel like when you touch it. Thumb and middle finger is medium rare. Thumb and ring finger is medium, and thumb and pinky would be well done. |

I assume that they are refering to the part of your hand between your forefinger and thumb. Based on how far apart these two fingers get spread, you can judge how well done a piece of meat is. It's highly inaccurate, but people like doing it anyway. As far as ideal temp, it depends. 160 degrees is what you should cook it to in order to kill anything on it, unless you are using a piece of meat that is whole. Some pieces are coming pre-tenderised, so they have a potential to be contaminated with ecoli. If it is whole muscle, then it depends on how you like your meat. Rare - 140 Med rare - 145 Med - 160 Med well - 165 Well done - 170 These are the internal temps. Personally, I like my meat somewhere between med rare and med. |

Actually that picture makes it look a little more rare than it actually was. It was borderline medium and I was shooting for medium rare.

So who's got more grilling tips/links? I'm a n00b at this stuff, and while the food I grill usually comes out edible (except for those first lamb chops, sigh ), it just doesn't qualify as "great".
