Greetings from a BESRG newbie
« Reply #-1 on: March 03, 2016, 11:13:51 AM »
Hello BBQ fans!
I've just joined in the hopes that I can absorb some of the awesome collected knowledge here...

I found the site while searching for tips and hints on using my Big Easy SRG and discovered the wealth of info here.
I've already put some of it to good use and done a couple of Boston Butts - which turned out mighty nice thanks to the use of the "Tommy Ring"
Butt, I'm trying to up my game with the Pork and also want to try Beef for the first time. 
(^ see what I did there)  ;D
I've had some success with chicken.  I made some great drumsticks, and I've done a few roasters too - they turned out tasty, but they seem to come out a little less done in the center than we prefer.  Due to that - I'll also be doing a little research to refine my technique so I don't overcook the outside and undercook the inside.  I suspect I need to go "low(er) and slow(er)" on the temp...

So, rather than lurking anonymously I figured I should sign up and participate!

Hopefully someday I'll have something to contribute rather that just asking questions - but in the meantime I'll just try and learn as much as I can.
I've got very limited experience with such things - I'm a regular user of an infrared gas grill, but I certainly could use some help with that too.

I should probably make this post in the Big Easy section too since I've made comments that could elicit suggestions/recommendations that are probably more appropriate there...

Thanks to those that take the time to share their experience.

Nice to see ya, lots of BESRG'rs here, myself included...  I'm with you on the chicken, I don't like it under done at all, in fact I bought a second thermometer so I can watch IT in breast and thigh at the same time...  I seem to have best results using shelf, so chicken is higher in basket and cooking on high with the lid open, then shut lid for last few minutes if skin needs more crispness....
