Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Anyone here use a Green Egg Bbq?

Looking at buying a new grill, and the Green Egg grill caught my eye. I know one guy that uses his commercially to make bbq for his sandwich counter at his store and he loves it. Anyone here use one? Likes/dislikes...

Large BGE.................................................


mesquite smoked turkey

pork butt

buffalo tenderloin

prime rib

I have an XL and love it. Makes great food, and keeps my family excited about anything I cook on it.

Best brisket ever was from my BGE.

okay, I'll bite. What are the benefits?

&

Is the BGE a BBQ or a smoker?

Keith...you suppose you could fire that madre up come June..???

Sure can!



Both. You can fire that thing up to 700� to T-Rex a steak or slow cook/smoke ribs, pork butt and brisket. You can run it overnite on a load of lump charcoal when doing a slow cook or smoke.

I am just a newb at this. There are others here who are far more experienced such as byc.

Best money I have ever spent tho IMHO.

I've heard of them.



You can easily sear steaks at 800*,



or do ribs and butts low and slow,





even home made pizza,



or a chili cheese dog fatty.

How much are they?

600-800$

Bowhunr - Where did you get that searing grate?

Did you all use a local dealer or did you order one online?

Love mine....

The grate is the 13" cast iron from Big Green Egg. It is resting on the "Spider" from the Ceramic Grill Store.

I bought all of mine from a local dealer. In fact, like it or not, buying one off the internet voids all warranties. I guess that's BGE's way of supporting their distributor network.

From BGE's website:

"Warranties, whether written, oral, expressed or implied, are not extended to persons who obtain the product from any source other than the Big Green Egg or from an Authorized Big Green Egg Distributor or Dealer, or through an authorized BGE promotion. Purchasing and/or accepting delivery of any BGE product from unauthorized dealers or online resellers will void the Warranty associated with that product. The Big Green Egg is not sold at discount clubs, discount chain stores or online or e-commerce stores, and any product purchased from any such retailer is not covered under Warranty. Authorized Dealers can be found at the BigGreenEgg.com website."

Wow. I've been checking them out for months, in fact, I think that's how I found this forum. I guess I drive down the road and check out my local dealer, and see if I can't come up with one at a reasonable price. Most local retail establishments in my area are usually on the high side of pricing.

I've dabbled from time to time
