Have you seen the Green Egg? I have been thinking about getting one.

We did some nice steaks last night on the grill. I may try to do some shrimp tonight.

Seakdivers mentioned the Egg in last years BBQ thread. She really seems to like it.

Me, I'm too happy with propane.

Tonight's dinner.

AHHH K-Bobs !!
YOUMMMMERS !!!!

Get The Thrill Of The Grill or any of their books, but I suggest that one first.

Green egg. I stopped by hardware store other day to look at a pressure washer. They had the egg. $699, the stand was around 90 bucks and the shelves that clamped around top 75 bucks.

I have two green eggs - a large & a small. It is not the kind of thing to buy if you are perfectly happy pulling a burger off a gasser.

I have a nice 'spensive Weber Genesis Gold that hasn't been used since we bought the first egg. :)

BBQ after action report
 

Yesterday turned out to be a nice day for a BBQ. There was a late afternoon sprinkle, but that only helped to cool things down. The breeze running crosswise through the backyard was cool and kept the skeeters at bay.

From the Cellar, Bruce and Wolf showed up. Wolf and her friend brought a nice bottle of wine which we didn't get a chance to open and Bruce brought ice and a case of Rolling Rock. I should have mentioned that the guest list was only about 20 people, so I have to apologize to Bruce for not being specific about quantity when he asked if he could bring anything.

Marci made a veggie plate, but did not bake desserts, and she want a little overboard buying desserts. I forgot to mention the dip Wolf made with (cream cheese?) and salmon. I haven't had a chance to try it myself, but there's leftovers in the fridge and this will be a part of tonight's dinner.

I cooked plain chicken and chicken in a spicy BBQ sauce I made by mixing half-and-half BBQ sauce and wing sauce. I tried (and failed) to manage my grill time by precooking the chicken and keeping it warm and covered in a 200 degree oven. I started with the BBQ chicken 2 hours early, so by the time I was ready to serve, it was falling off the bone from having been slow cooked in addition to grilled.

I also made (cheese)hamburgers and hot dogs (Hebrew National). Nothing else special except I used up my hoard of Habanero Pineapple steak sauce that I picked up when Clemens Markets closed.

It was a great night to be out on the deck under the stars. I'm sorry I didn't take any pictures.

Thank you Wolf and Bruce, for the wine, beer, and dip.

If I'd had known is was going to be 20 people I'd have brought 2 cases.

Just why in the HELL didn't I get an invite??? :bitching:

Thank you, Rich, for your hospitality, great eats, and conversation! The habanero pineapple sauce was extraordinary ... hopefully we'll either find some more or figure out how to concoct our own! (might make for a good day of experimentation.

Tester-San and I both had an excellent time.

My dip recipe seems to have disappeared from the Nabisco website ... I'll have to hunt around for it, in case you would like it. Luckily I posted it here.

After seeing your BBQ pics, if you'd have come I would have made you cook.;)

Actually, I think I did invite you the last time.:)

Yes, I think you did. Sorry couldn't make it.
Grilled other day. Also cooked 1st picking of purple pod beans, new taters. Grilled chicken thighs and eggplant. Click photo for more.

Rich, I wanted to share this with you. This is by far the best tool I have ever used for BBQ cooking. I use it for everything but fish, obviously. Chicken, steaks, ribs, it works on everything. Check it out:
