Had burgers at a buddies house saturday for the spurs game. He used the Big Green Egg to cook them and they were so damn good. After the first flip you could see how much moisture they were retaining It was a late game and we didn't eat until almost midnight so no pics, sorry

It is a ceramic grill/smoker/cooker. Lots of people like them for the multi use aspect. They are $$$

Yeah they are nice but expensive. I've found a few large ones on craigslist over the years for around $600, new that size is about $1000-$1200 if I remember right. My buddy has the medium one which maxed out the space with 4 half pound burgers.

Leg of lamb just went into the slow cooker...

I wish Costco had the bone-in ones, but w/e.

Marinaded overnight in a rub of paste made in a mortar and pestle containing lemon zest, fresh rosemary, garlic, olive oil salt and pepper. Took it out of the fridge this AM and seared all sides in a cast iron skillet. Into the slow cooker with 1/2cup red wine, 1/2cup broth, couple sprigs of rosemary and the juice of a lemon. I also threw in all the little bits from the bottom of the searing skillet.

I can't open the slow cooker! It adds 20-30 minutes on to the cook time and I already got it started late!

OK, the after pics...

Super moist and fall apart tender.



Used some of the slow cooker juices to make a gravy and served with oven roasted red potatoes (EVOO, S+P, lemon juice, oregano) and steamed broccoli.

The rosemary in the above lamb complimented the flavor really well. Not sure about with a smoker though. You know what flavor herb might be awesome though would be fresh mint. Not sure how that would smoke though.

I'm not sure mint would translate well in the smoker.

Oak is preferred for lamb too I do believe.

Yes we have them. Just never took the time to eat at one. The closest Panera Bread to me is only a 20 minute drive.

When I did my racks of lamb on the smoker, I used a garlic and herb seasoning with some rosemary and back pepper. Rubbed on EVOO first, they were amazing

It had some marinade/sauce on it that was like pineapple juice, and soy or Worcestershire sauce, and it was served with grilled pineapples, onions, and peppers.

Made a 2" thick ribeye last night and finally had the nerve to use the IR burner on the grill.

I did 4min on each side on the IR, then 3 more minutes per side over normal burner @ medium for a medium cook.

The crust and flavor were outstanding!

S+P and a little EVOO on the steak before cooking, a little EVOO on the steak after a 10 minutes rest before serving. It was better than many non-aged steaks I have had in restaurants.
