Sorry, I never posted the results of the first use of the Green Egg. As the last post noted, I marinated a Pork Roast over night and then smoke it for about 3 hours at 250, applying a store bought Apple Chipotle Glaze over the last hour.

The results:
AWESOME!

Rumor has it that the future father-in-law may have said it was the best pork he ever had. Although, I did make sure the beer and wine were freely flowing before the meal, so you can never be too sure.

Last night, I even grilled some chicken on it. Susan marinated it in Buttermilk which helped the texture and apparently got rid of the blood vessels. I am not a big chicken fan, but I have to say that this turned out pretty well. At least very tendor. They were chicken filets and I tried to cook them at 300 - 350 until I got to 160. I never could get the meat thermometer to read that, but the chicken was obviously done, so I took it off. Better than the chicken was the Thai Peanut Noodles, Susan mixed them with. Not sure all that was included, but Peanut Butter, Cilantro, Sesame Oil, Garlic were all included and that was tossed with the chicken and the whole wheat spaghetti. Just had it again for lunch, damn good.

Here are some more Green Egg pictures. Check out the pork!!
