Pork chops on the Egg. They came from a good friend and small family farmer.

If the pig was such a good friend, why did you do that to him?

Edit: looks like he was pretty tasty.

You cook some impressive meals on the egg. I’ve never considered one because it looks like a commitment. Most of my dinners have to be to be done in 30-60 minutes. How long does it take you?

It took about 30 minutes from the time I started the fire. Of course we had the chops marinating in the fridge longer. The great thing (not the only) about the Egg is after you finish cooking you shut it down, it immediately extinguishes and the coals are ready for the next meal. With something like pork chops the Egg is ready to go.

Nice, I’ve always assumed it was more like a smoker and a big commitment. I had no idea that you could shut it down. I’ve heard great things about them.

For the next cook, you just top up the charcoal as opposed to brickettes which all burn out.

Many times you can just stir the old coals and light it up. That's what I did on the chops.

I got my egg a year or so ago for Christmas from Mrs G and the in-laws. Quite probably my best Christmas gift ever.

Many years ago a friend of mine who I went to school with at UF cooked the very best standing rib roast I have eaten on the Green Egg. I had one within a week and wouldn't be without it.

This photo just popped up on my FB timeline from 7 years ago. I think it was ribs but I hope it was worth it!

Since it sounds like you are not happy about who’s coming, call them and cancel. Them PM me directions and your beverage preferences. I can be on the road in about 5 minutes.

They must have a good sense of smell!
