The Big Green Egg

I just realized that I never finished my 40th b-day adventure posts.  Since that was almost a year ago, I don't think I'm going to be able to do a total recall of the events of that awesome week.

Instead, I'm going to pick up to a more recent line of 'adventures' starting with a new addition to the Toguchi household. I'm talking about the Big Green Egg.

It all started a couple of months ago when my Bradley Smoker decided to kick the bucket.  The stability of it was in question already, but it finally broke down and the feet basically disintegrated leaving the door to not be able to be proper secured.

This sent me on a mission to find something to replace it.  Of course, given the state of this guy, I needed to find something that was built a little better.  After asking around and some well placed pictures and influence, I opted for the Big Green Egg.  I went with the Large version of the ceramic cooker, which should be plenty big for me and my family.  As long as it can hold briskets, ribs, pork shoulders, etc. It should be perfect.

As I learn more and more about this food contraption, I'm sure you will be seeing more posts in the near future.  Egg On!
