Yummm, sounds delicious! Father's Day and you're the cook huh? Hope your neighbors have their windows closed, as that delicious aroma would keep me up all night.

I'd rather cook if it is at our house and sometimes if it is at the in-laws.

Ill get paid back, if uknow what I mean.

Its still a steamin 84 degrees and 100% humidity as I sit outside having a coors lite andsmell the aroma. I have woke the dogs up in the neighborhood. I have fought my dog from climbing the table, and let me tell you it wasn't easy.

It's smoldering here as well, even at 11pm. Tomorrow's forecast is 100 deg. with heat index up to 108.

Will you just go to sleep & leave it cooking all night?

Yes, thats is why I love the egg. I filled the BGE to the rim with charcoal and some hickory chips and the temp has been holdng steady at 225 for the last 2 hrs, I am taking it off a little before 9 in the morning.

Wish I had one. I'm in very unfamiliar territory when it comes to smoking meats, but love to eat them!!

Looks awesome. You must have bought some different grates. Yours looks better than mine. I need to get a grate like yours.

That is the optional cast iron grate, I bought 2 of them and cut one not quite in half so I can remove part of a grill to add more wood or charcoal if I need to. I used a carbide cut off wheel to make the cut about 1/3 across.
