I am an Egghead. I cook on a Big Green Egg. I am known as Spring Chicken in Big Green Egg circles.. I also do a little woodworking. My wife and I recently moved from Spring, Texas to Covington, Louisiana. As such, 'Texas Spring Chicken' no longer seems appropriate. So as of today, 10/15/17, I have become Covington Spring Chicken.

Salmon on the Egg
A couple of days ago I smoked a salmon filet on the Big Green Egg and it turned out great. I spread some honey on the meaty side of the salmon and sprinkled liberably with some Dizzy Pig Jamaican Firewalk seasoning. I pre-heated the Egg to 375° and threw in some smoking wood chips. I used the raised grid with a drip pan underneath. I put a cup of water in the drip pan, laid the salmon on the upper grid and let it cook/smoke for one hour. Then I shut the top and bottom vents and let the Egg cool slowly to 200° over the next two hours. I basted the salmon every thirty minutes with a honey & bourbon glaze and again when I took it off. Let it cool a few minutes and served it. Fantastic! Even my neighbors liked it and insist that we do it again soon.
