DachsieSlave Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 It's here!!!! It arrived safe and sound, and it is gorgeous. Due to its late arrival and places to go the first cook was simple and quick. Some Roadside chicken breast. A butt is rubbed and in the fridge to go on first thing in the morning. Pics and more thoughts to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdbower Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Congrats! Just in time for the holiday weekend here in the States! I was just joking with my wife that we need to go out and buy meat so I can have the first official cook of the year, despite the ham I had on 2 January.

orthoman Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 chuck roast Well, after sitting in my garage until I could stand it no longer, I finally got my baby from my garage to the back porch. I am doing my first cook - a 10 pound chuck roast with a nice rub that firemonkey suggested. It already smells out of this world! I am already awestruck at how stable the temp is! I have never been abel to use a grill with charcoal to sit there at 240 degrees with the needle just sitting there at one temp with virtually no adjustment - it's unreal. This grill is truly a low and slow machine! With my smoker, the temps were always all over the place, adding logs, wood chips, etc, the temp up to 350 then down to 180 then up to 250, etc. It was a pain in the rear to cook anything, you basically had to sit there with the smoker all day watching the temp guage. The smoker old smoker is going out on the curb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
