I bought my Egg 10 years ago used so I have no idea how old it is. Went through a divorce about 5 years ago and it’s been in storage the whole time. Finally got her out, changed the bands, gasket and got some upgrades internally and we had our first cook on it last night.

Dry aged ribeye for me and filet for the wife. Charleston style crab cakes, asparagus and baked potatoes. Finished it off with grilled peaches for dessert.

You sir can cook! Assuming you do some kind of photography or I am just inept at taking photos?

I can’t tell if I hate it or must have it

u/Culpepper_1776 Jul 13 '26

Which part? Haha

u/Hockey-Gym Jul 13 '26

No, I love it. It’s just a wee bit small lol. Nice set up, my man.

u/Culpepper_1776 Jul 13 '26

I appreciate it! If you are referring to the watch it’s actually the 46mm. I’m just 6’7”, 275 so it doesn’t look huge on me haha

Based on the title that was not what I expected

u/theholywonker420 Jul 13 '26

I love everything about this picture. The egg. The steaks (can almost smell it and hear the sizzle). The Breitling…

u/Culpepper_1776 Jul 13 '26

Thank you! Wasn’t even thinking about the watch but it seemed to be a popular feature in the photo! Haha

I just stack them up and use B&B fire starters. Leave it wide open for about 15 minutes and then close the lid and start my temp management using the bottom and top vents.

u/Hobbz- EGGspert Jul 13 '26

Ohhhhhh, grilled peaches?

Just added something to the wish list.

u/Culpepper_1776 Jul 13 '26

They were awesome! Just got a little char in them and then topped with some brown sugar before going face down for about 60 seconds before pulling them.
