People plan their Saturdays around these events, and call to find out what they are cooking that day. It's hilarious. Needless to say, people end up buying hardware while they are there, too.

We have been trying to find a dealer who has the new mini-max for sale. This is the perfect size for taking camping. My husband has contacted three dealers in our area. None had any idea what the mini-max is. They said they would check, but none have gotten back in touch with him. Does anyone carry them for purchase? Has your brother heard of them or carry them?

Check around and see if you can find a Kamado Joe dealer. Their version is the Joe Jr. which is what I have, you'll save some money and it comes will all the accessories you need.

A little jealous of the ceramic cookers, especially in the winter months coupled with the wind.I have been a tried and true Weber guy for a long time at home and on the road. Have 2 18" WSM's, Performer with Gas assist and the new jumbo joe for the road. I have added temp controllers for the long cooks and have gotten 16 hours out of one load of Kingsford on the smokey mountain. Been able to crank my Kettle up to 600 for pizzas and such but the allure of the Ceramic still creeps in.....

Do you brine the turkey? I was thinking about trying one for Easter.

Depends on what kind of bird you have....if it's already injected with a solution, the brine might make it very very salty. I have brined butterball's but cut back in the salt and only go for 8 hours or so. I brine almost any bird no matter what just need to know what you have.

I have never wet brined a turkey. I have dry brined them with kosher salt the night before and let them sit uncovered in the fridge. Then I make a mix of whipped butter and spices to rub on the skin and under the skin. Heavenly!!! The drippings make fantastic gravy.

Good tips folks. Thanks. I'm still learning the BGE way of doing things.

We love our kamado too (not a BGE). We picked up a Vision Kamado at costco a few years ago for less than half what a new BGE would run with the same accessories. We cook everything on it from pizza to meatloaf. I have a coworker that swears by his traeger so we regularly have friendly cook-offs using the same meat and rubs. The egg takes longer but the meat is always more moist and full of flavor (he's had leftovers the last two times...I wish I did). This year it's been decided that we'll be packing the smoker with us on camping trips.
Few food pics just because now I'm hungry

i love my Big Green Egg and think it is the best! I have owned many smokers, grills etc. The egg is air tight and HEAVY cerramic and that is the secret to great cooking. Noting else comes close. Great for many, many dish's from the best smoked salmon to a great pizza to juicy steaks. Forget the money, life is short!

Tried this method yesterday for Easter. 15lb spatchcock turkey on a large BGE - came out great. I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of this thing.

Glad it worked well for you. My family loves when I make a turkey.
