Hey I know the owner of that company!!!! And you just spent a ton of cash on that thing. Nice grills but so out of my price range.

Follow this blog. Jason is religious about his BGE, and cooks on it 3-4 nights a week if not more.

I thought about it but then you run into a brick wall when it comes to the ceramic coating...although I am sure you can get some damn fine results from other "less expensive" grills on the market.

Hell, $700 would get you enough materials for a nice "do it yourself" BBQ pit in the back yard. But not here to knock the guys decision, I am here for the food

yup, sure did.....Best thing ever. He loves it....I had the money from a good month with my drafting so I decided why the hell not.

Ive had food from both, and a 70 dollar ugly drum smoker (price pending on how concerned you are with form over function) and make some pretty damn good sweet meat. Don't get me wrong the Egg is awesome and a whole lot easier to use, but once configured correctly I'd take a drum smoker any day.

And it sounds like it's a gift that keeps on giving with all the good eats you've probably enjoyed from it.

yup. It is an every weekend thing during the spring/summer months and then every other weekend during the fall winter.....I love that he cooks the big stuff outside so that we don't heat up the house!!!

I've got a couple of friends with them, and they love them. The gipsies ive had were tasty, buti'm not sure I would say "better" than any other charcoal grill.

Congrats on the purchase.
