Panini and Henry,
I love the Big Green Egg and it's everything they say. I always wanted one but never would have bought one. I knew someone who was moving from a house to a condo on the beach where no charcoal grills were allowed. We struck a deal, I helped them move in exchange for the Egg. I felt like a sweepstakes winner. Previosly I was always a Weber guy. Henry, there heavier than you can imagine, but you can get them on wheels, Mine is built into a table. The fire starts fast and it really retains heat so you don't use coal that fast. The two things I love about it the most are: A. Once you get the temp set it will stay right on it for hours, great for the ribs we're discussing on this thread. B; you can easily get the temp to 750 degrees or more( my thermometer stops at 750) and baby, you can really sear a steak. Man I THOUGHT I cooked a mean steak till I got it. One minute on each side at 750 them close all the vents and wait about4 min. and its done. You have to crack the vent s open before you lift the lid or you will have a fireball when the air gets in. Sorry for the long post, I guess you can tell I'm a fan.
