The BGE includes the egg itself, firebox, grate, fire ring, grid, temp gauge, ceramic top, ceramic feet, instructional dvd and manual.
IMO you will need the following to get up and cooking:
Nest or Table
Daisy Wheel Top (my dealer included it in the base)
Plate Setter
Raised Grid
Ash Tool
Grid Tool
The dealer I bought from included all of the above as a package plus the wooden shelves, fire starters and 20 pounds of charcoal. Like any other guy hobby there are lots of other bells and whistles that can be added down the road, but whats listed above will get you up and Egg'in.
