I promise I will never do it again.
We are at a vacation home in San Diego and my family wanted some pulled pork... I had a BGE to work with... so I used it. The butts turned out pretty good, cooked pretty evenly, however... I'm sure it's a "practice/experience" thing, but tending a fire etc, can be a real pain, especially when working with a timeline!
Lessons learned:
1)The BGE can make some good Q. Everyone in the family loved it, but my wife and I knew it wasn't anywhere near the best I've made.
2)Don't assume the person before you cleared out the ash... don't ask me how I know...
3)Though I could get temps pretty stable on this thing... I much prefer "dialing it in" on my PG1000 or SM020
4)End product was the driest butt I've cooked, still good, but not as moist as I expect from my cookshacks.
5)Charcoal... probably should have used more.
6)Remember not to take the quality and ease of the CS/FE cookers for granted.
7)Though it was nice the Rental had a BGE, only rent a house with a CS in the future
Loving this vacation... but missing my cookers at home...
What shall my penance be?
