BBQ Guru

Nathon had a brilliant idea for Bryan's Father's Day gift this year. They had seen this contraption at the Eggtoberfest last fall, and it was really the only thing Bryan mentioned when he got home that day that he thought might prove to be very useful.

So, the BBQ Guru Competitor might not look like much, but it monitors the temperature inside the BGE, as well as the temperature of the meat. It's great for maintaining a consistent temperature for long periods of time (like say, when you're sleeping). Some people do overnight smoking, and this thingy keeps the air flowing as needed all night long, instead of us having to get up every hour to check and make sure the fire hasn't gone out.

Bryan was really excited when we told him what we're getting him. I hope it lives up to its hype.

Broken Egg

Our neighbor, Stewart, just bought a Medium Big Green Egg a few weeks ago. He was tired of cooking on a big, bad, stainless steel gas grill that burned everything to a crisp.

Anyway, he came over to our house to look at how ours was assembled when he was putting his together (alone -- first mistake). Apparently, he got his all assembled (in the garage -- second mistake). When he attempted to carry it through his house to the back deck (third mistake), he dropped it on the garage steps and the bottom piece shattered into a thousand pieces! Oops!

Yes, he had to go back and pay to replace the bottom half of his BGE. It was a bummer, and the people at the store dubbed him the "Big Green Idiot." But he felt better immediately after re-assembling the thing and cooking dinner on it. He's LOVIN' it now!

Just call us the Big Green Evangelists!
