Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Not sure about BGE

Folks,

I have a size L BGE with the wheels stands and other items, all still banded together in their boxes. I won the grill in a silent auction around Halloween. I was excited about it at first, now I'm thinking of just selling it as it's still NIB. The thing is so fuggin heavy and seems like a total pain in the azz. Not even sure how I could get it out of the box, assembled and back to the pool deck without breaking the thing. Need advice here, sell it or try to make it work. What say you?

Thanks

Don't own one yet, I see one in the future. Have a friend who won one also, warranty went to the purchaser as long as it was still unused.

Its not hard to put together,I wheel mine from garage to back pool patio very easily

Well one thing is for sure. There's a ton of help and knowledge here to keep you going forever.

I would keep it because you will never regret it. I promise!!

Besides, you can darn near get as much for a used one as new. If you don't like it sell after you at least try.

I use my WSM and my pellet smoker waaaaaaaaayyyyyy more than my BGE. Both are capable of turning out fabulous food as it's the cook not the cooker.

The BGE is overpriced patio bling IMO that doesn't justify the additional outlay.

Oh, but it can sear! BFD. I'm searing using a #10 can the some green beans came in with some holes poked in it and a charcoal grate and it hits over 900 degrees.

Selling it today to another 24HCF member. I wish him well in his new cooking adventure but honestly can't bring myself to buy into the hype and chant the BGE mantra.

Denny Denny Denny why ya gotta be a hater

While I doubt that I ever will fork over the $$'s required to purchase a BGE, if I were to win one I'd certainly put it to good use.

Darn things should come with a pack of seeds and some dirt.

Glorified flower pot.

As Denny said don't bother with the patio bling. I'll be glad to pay freight to Nebraska to get it out of your garage.

Heck Mike I would drive out and pick it up. But I'm afraid I'd be knocked out and tied up in a room under the stairs!!

FWIW I labored a long time over deciding whether or not to buy one. Glad I did as it was one of the better investments I have made. I run mine all year long unless it is just too nasty to be outside. It will light when it is so cold my propane grill won't. I use it as an oven, a grill a smoker, a cold smoker. Lots of guidance here on this forum and one old sourpuss it seems (gotcha Denny! )

Maybe one day......

Yeah but it ain't near as easy as loading up with chopped cork and plugging it in.

And you might have to shovel snow to get to her!! Note smoke from pig!!

I cold smoked 6 or 8 lbs of cheddar cheese in January with mine. After aging it for 2 months it disappears fast around here. A buddy at work told me he would buy all the cheddar cheese I cared to smoke as long as I shared with him

I just put a 5.5lb prime rib on my medium. Smells great!!

Denny you okay?? You're not going into BGE PTSD are you?? Because you will!!

We're here for ya' buddy!

Yup, ya got me pegged.

Missin' my ex-mother in law more than that oversized coffee cup.

My big dawg MAX and I are cleanin' up a rack of spares done yesterday on the Treager drowned in Sweet Baby Rays sauce.

To further help me cope with my depression I think I'll crack a mason jar of apple pie and then put on some tunes to help me through this.

Thanks for caring tho'

Denny quit being a hater! Pellet smoker?

Thanks for the chuckle,

Doubt I would spend the coin on one, but if I won it,

Game on.

The BGE's are the most overpriced pieces of schitt grills that you could ever throw your hard earned money at!

.... don't waste your time
