Greetings from a BESRG newbie
« Reply #-1 on: March 03, 2016, 11:18:03 AM »
Hello Big Easy 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 BESRG 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.

This is essentially a duplicate of my New Member Intro post here in the Big Easy section since I've made comments that could elicit suggestions/recommendations that are probably more appropriate here...

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

I think ya need to cook a lil longer..the beesr takes longer because it's electric. But you get nice crispy skin if ocoked a lil longer...and when it's done close the lid, turn it off and let it sit for about half an hour..makes it real nice. Good luck.   .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

Welcome to the best Big Easy info on the net!      We can help you I'm sure get the most out of the BEESR.

Just ask and someone here will answer just about any question you have


I just wished I had a patent on the Tommy Ring   ;)    :D :D :D

Hello from Pittsburgh and welcome.  You've come to the right place, lot's of helpful people here.  I've learned so much just by reading thru some of the older posts.  Anytime I'm trying something new in my SRG, I search here. 

I use mine for just about everything, most of the time it's me and the misses, so my Quantum 4 burner rarely gets used, I think I use it once last year.   Great little machine. 

Enjoy
