Looking for a BGE chimnea.

Jeremiah

The title says it all. I've been craigslist-ing it for a while to no avail. I have no need for one, but dammit I just want one. PM me if you have one to unload.

Don't PM, post here with pictures!  Never seen a BGE chiminea.  Plus, I like watching bidding wars.

@Fred19Flintstone could probably post a pic of one. I believe he has one.

Those were one if not the very first BGE product dropped when the new guy took over from Ed Fisher. I'm not real sure that even say 80% of the people posting on this forum even know such a product was ever made. Good luck finding one!

Last time I was at Tasty Licks, they had one on the floor for sale. Not sure if they still have one or not.

I think you get up to PA once in awhile, might be worth a phone call.

I have one. You can't afford it. 

Use it as much as the BGE. 

(And the chimney comes off so you can cook over it too)

No idea if they actually have one but their website still lists them: http://marchlimerick.com/biggreenegg.html

Here is a picture of mine. But not for sale. Purchased new in 2014. My Egging Buddy has 2!!

Yes my dealer had one last year I wanted it really bad but ended buying a XL. Passed up the chimniea went back later to get it. The BGE salesman said it was so hard to find the salesman bought it and took it with him. That's the only one I ever seen

They are the unicorn of BGE ownership. I am lucky enough to have a pair of them.

But I also have BGE hoarding issues.

Also, the stand they come in sucks,  it puts the smoke right near eye level when you're sitting next to it. But a large nest is perfect. Love my chiminea.

@gmbbs   very cool

Fred19Flintstone

I have one and I like it.  I don't use it as much as I thought when I bought it, it's nice to fire it up on occasion.  @Jeremiah if you were closer, you could prolly talk me into selling it.  I have no idea how to ship this without breaking it.

@Fred19Flintstone
To ship without breaking, you might have to build a crate out of plywood and find someone to package it with their instapak system.  It is an expanding foam that encapsulates the contents.  My previous employer had one for shipping large electronics or machine parts that needed to stay looking like new.  It is cool to watch.

@Fred19Flintstone where are you located? I have been looking for one as well but on the west coast

Was one local here.  I posted about it, but I bet it's gone now.

Yeah I remember that, I called them, but it was already sold by the time I called.

I'll have my eyes open.  

Did a quick search on SearchTempest, with no luck in a 400 mile radius.

I've been planning on buying a chiminea this spring, but damn you @Jeremiah now I've got green on the brain.

Does anyone have a ci chimenea?  Any opinions on those vs the common clay ones?

GaBGE

Not BGE brand but I was at Home Depot last weekend and they had several different chimeneas.

I found one someone was getting rid of when they were moving- I already had a clay one SWMBO is fond of so I gave it to a neighbor.  They like it way more than a clay one.  Now that my clay one is on its last legs I wish I would have kept it.

If the lead bullets don't kill ya, the leaded water will.  No worries, I have a well.

@legume I use my ci almost every weekend during spring summer fall.  Bought on CL for $80 sandblasted and high temp paint like new

Thatgrimguy

I was camping and got to play with one a couple months ago. Only one I had ever seen. I made an offer of $350 but they weren't interested in the least.

I have this same exact one. It came from China via Sam's Club many years ago.
It works fine, however it is very rusty. It could use a little TLC.

Fred19Flintstone

That's a great idea using a large nest!  I gotta pick one up!

It probably wouldn't kill you to give these guys a call even though they are in N.Y.

They are already closed for today! And here's the weird part - they are closed Saturdays but open Sundays!

Not everybody's Sabbath is Sunday.
