Ehhh, to be honest I was just quoting a friend who bought one. He is a great cook and grills a killer steak. He was having buyers remorse, and ready to go back to his old Weber egg. [Reply]

I have owned a pellet (trager), a smoker, a 2 natural gas grills over the past 10 years. I bought a Green Egg 18 months ago. I got rid of everything else after 4 months. For me there is nothing that has even come close. I am still amazed at how easy it is to keep the temp at 225 for 16 hours or cranking it up to 700 plus for the best damn seared tenderloin I have ever been able to make. I even wood fire Pizza on the damn thing.
It is not as "convenient" as the gasser but grilling has now returned to being a hobby and the passion has returned.

I am in the same boat and once my house is built ill be getting either a BGE or a Kamado Joe (or however its spelled). I wasnt kidding about my previous post.... For me, pellet "grills" are the equivalent of putting out deer corn...sure it works but is it REALLY a victory? IF your wanting it to be that easy, just pay someone else to do it.
On second thought, are there any threads on BGE/Kamado and such? [Reply]
