For Father’s Day in 2006 my awesome wife gave me a large Big Green Egg (BGE) and life changed as I knew it! Starting after a move to a new house in 2008, my outdoor cooking took on a new dimension. I became actively involved in the original BGE Forum (Greeneggers.com) as “Misippi Egger”, where I met many great cooks, many of whom are still friends today. I had an outdoor kitchen included when we added a screen porch and began to expand my Egg family. I currently own a large, small, Mini and the new MiniMax eggs.
I have attended the Georgia Mountain Eggfest and cooked at the Porkopolis (Cincinnati) Eggfest as well as at all three Gulf Coast Eggfests. I have given many demonstrations and taught classes at my local BGE dealer’s store. I am a KCBS Certified judge and have competed at KCBS events in the past.
More recently I have become interested in charcuterie – curing and aging meats (wet and dry aging) as well as the newer modality of sous vide cooking.
Many of my friends have suggested I author a cookbook, so I have decided instead to create this blog. I plan to include recipes, techniques, tips on Egg cooking, & accessories for the Egg, as well as discussions about curing & aging meat, cold smoking and sous vide cooking.
I hope you enjoy the blog. Comments and suggestions are encouraged!
