Thanks for all of the replies. Opinions certainly seem varied. Had me a pile of whiskey drinks that night, just HAD to have that egg. Reckon I'll put it together and give it a whirl.
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
WTH have you been? Watched Talladega Nights the other night and briefly thought about you!!
I've been all jacked up on Dew!!! BaHaHaHa!
In all seriousness though, my Eggs are pure enjoyment. It's something I can do that helps me blow some steam off at the end of a work day and at the same time the Misses appreciates me helping out with the meals. Plus, she can't count how many beers I consume if I'm doing the cooking outside. Lol! I cook on my Eggs 3 or 4 days a week ... even more when weather is good.
sell that monster and get a weber 22" kettle with the smokenator 1000 insert. if you want to splurge, get a kettle pizza adapter too. and you can pick the whole thing up and plunk it into the back of your truck without ripping yer nutsack.
Yup!!! All I can tell you boys is that I still have my first ceramic BGE purchased almost 20 years ago at $399. It works better than anything I have in the shop. $399 over 20 years and still ticking. Not bad.
I've had the Primo Oval for close to the same and it works even better. Well about the same but I still dig the oval design over the BGE.
Actually, my first BGE was the older terra cotta clay pot design. It's also still ticking up on the family Biltmore mountain. Just can't take her over 400 degrees or so.
How can you beat 20-25 years out of a cooker???
And BTW...favorite grill is my $30 Weber Smokey Joe! A man can never have too many grills/smokers!! Sound familiar??
FUG a bunch of BGEs. It's the cook not the cooker.

I know exactly where you are. That's usually where I wind up having to refuel. Beautiful country through there. Thinking about a home/land search from there North.
