I've been wanting a Big Green Egg for years now, just had more important things financially to concentrate on. All that is out of the way and a fantastic deal on a large Big Green Egg fell into my lap yesterday. Picking it up on Wednesday! Comes with the accessory kit, charcoal, and stand all for just less than the cost of the large egg itself, and all brand new in the box.

So, here are the important questions I have, lol.

-Any rubs that you seasoned smokers use swear by for pork and brisket?
-Starting out, until I get a feel for my egg and become a more seasoned smoker, I'd like to get a digital thermometer that can be read outside the egg so I don't have to continually open and close the lid. Can anyone recommend a fairly inexpensive one?
-What should I cook first!?

I know we have some experienced meat smokers here at the asylum, so please come one come all and chime in!
