Got a new BGE XL. What did y’all do for a first cook? I’ve read a lot of conflicting things about seasoning the BGE first with some people doing it and some people not; a lot of people saying they just “seasoned” their eggs with a low and slow long cook (brisket, pork butt, etc) opposed to a short, high temp cook (steaks, burgers, etc.)
Currently storing it in my garage until I get my cover and put a few coats of sealant on the table.

Did you make that stand? The wood to egg distance looks a little too close to me. As for first cook, just follow the directions for first time fire and then simply start cooking! This ain’t rocket science!
I’d get it good and hot before I cooked in it. As for food, it’s hard to beat pork butt. Tastes really good and hard to screw up.
That’s a nice table! I need something like that badly. So annoying to put everything on the ground
There’s really no such thing as “seasoning” an egg at all, the recommendation is a lower temp to seal the gasket but it’s honestly not very important.
