(AW) Night Night Piggy

Digi Q works in the dark

Well, the over night low and slow worked a treat. Set the BGE to cook over night at about 200f for about 16 hours!

What we did

Injected with a 50/50 mix of apple juice and cider vinegar, and then rubbed with a mix of 'paprika, sugar, chilli powder, onion granules, black pepper, ancho chilli powder, chipotle chilli powder and garlic granules'. Cooked at 220f until the meat hit 165f, then wrapped it in foil, and back in the egg until the meat hit 190f.

Prepping the Pork

Pork butt injected with a mix of apple juice and cider vinegar, covered in our pork rub, ready for a low and slow tomorrow...

(AW) More Pizzas

Tried the pizza stone with more pizza this time. Again, perfect crispy bases and tasty toppings!

(AW) Perfect Fillet

I've got a steak in the BGE

Again, despite the cold weather, perfect steak makes everything better....

What we did

Seared at 650f for 1 1/2 mins a side then dropped to 350/400f and cooked until the internal temp hit 135f.

(AW) Digi Who?

Life changing tech

After chatting with my BGE guru up north (MN) I have bit the bullet, re-mortaged the house, and bought a Digi Q DXII for the BGE. Now low and slow can take place over night!!! No more 4 am starts!!!!

(AW) Pizza Slut

Boy's night in

Being neglected by my wife, my son and I had a Saturday night to keep ourselves entertained and fed. Time to try the Pizza stone! So we raided the fridge for toppings, and set up the BGE, and made pizza.

Old baker's trick

One thing I was told, was to use baking paper instead of pelenta to prevent the pizza dough sticking, and to let you make them in advanced.

Overall, the Pizza's were a resounding success, and has prompted us to get more creative with our toppings!!!

What we did

Home-made dough, topped with the usual stuff. Cooked on the BGE with the plate setter legs up, grill and then Pizza Stone. Cooked for 10 minutes at 550f. Epic

Another trip to restock

Running low on lump, so another trip to Gog Magog farm shop. Whilst purchasing the lump I spotted a BGE Pizza stone for sale. Well, not one to pass by the opportunity to create something else on the BGE, I had to buy it. Bring on the next opportunity to cook Pizza!!!
