    Hi, my name is David and I'm an Egger

    I've been using a Big Green Egg for more than 20 years, but I just recently joined here. I've tried to up my game over time and am now pretty confident around pork butt, ribs (I like St. Louis), steak and chicken, but I am still cowed often by brisket.

    We have a party every summer that we call the Salute to Meat. We have 35 or 40 people to the house and last year we made pulled pork, home-cured and -smoked bacon, brisket, spare ribs, our own home 40-day dry-aged ribeyes, butterflied boneless leg of lamb and kielbasa (which a friend brings from Connecticut and I just grill). This year I'm adding home-cured and -smoked pastrami, from the recipe here.

    It all comes off the large Big Green Egg that has taken a lot of abuse over the years. I almost hurt myself on New Year's Eve this year when the Egg got well over 1,000 degrees during the final sear of the reverse-sear steaks, and I had to replace the gaskets when it got warm enough to do that.

    I like feeding people, and I think people here probably are here for the same reason. I like to know how things are made and I hope that there might be something I can contribute, but I know there will be a lot I can learn from you.

                  Welcome, David! Lots of Eggers here.

                  I'm the guy who says, about brisket: it's just a freakin' roast. Toss it on the heat and cook that sucker. I was intimidated by them until I thought, I've done $400 prime rib roasts, why am I worried about a brisket.

                  The pastrami recipe is the single best recipe on Amazing Ribs, and possibly the best thing I've ever cooked. It is that good. I would advise you to home cure one, but while you are waiting for your cure, do one with a store bought piece of corned beef. That way you will have pastrami to eat while you are waiting for pastrami to cure. Win-win.

                          If I cooked on a BGE I'd want to join a 12-step program too.

                          Joking aside, Welcome!
