Honestly, if you're going into it with doubts; maybe consider sitting patiently a while and see if you could snatch up a good used Egg or even buy a demo Egg from an Eggfest. I don't know if there would be any Eggfest in your area or not.
Hell, find someone locally and offer them some beer to let you cook on it.
The nearest dealer is 120 miles away. But I don't call people until I know exactly what I'm looking for. I have found demos online but they are pick up only.
Cooking a couple times won't tell me anything. I want to use one for a year or two. If I like it, it stays. If I don't, I'm going to upgrade my pit and buy a Genesis.
