I bet you do buy another. Most of us are on our second, third,sixth,etc.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

Fingers crossed I win one in Salado.:)Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

My 3 in no particular order...
1. I can cook in cold weather
2. Amazing temperature control
3. I can cook just about anything on it ... BETTER!

1. Lump goes a long way. No need to reload on a low and slow.
2. You can set the temp and walk away.
3. Cook all year round in any weather (rain, sleet, snow, etc.)

I can't agree more with the above posts, except for # 3 in
travisstrick's post. You will most likely own two eggs. Even if you win
one (wish you luck) you will most likely feel the need for a third one.Here are my three:
1. Temperature control, from 220 to 750+ not a problem.
2. Quality of the food. I never had anything dried out come off the egg.
3.Trying to explain the virtues of the egg to folks who have never heard of an "egg".
If I could add a fourth it would be the warranty and support that comes with every egg.
-
1: super effecient and stable controlable temp.
2: direct or indirect as you wish.
3: great support from the BGE community and well-tested after-market accessories.

Brand new owner and event organizer of a KCBS sanctioned event "Smokin in the Square". Have watched the likes of Dr BBQ to Byron from ButtRub.com cook anything from seafood to brisket in competition. With all that's out there, even the pro's will tell you that there is no better piece of equipment no matter what your level.
1.) The meat is amazingly moist every time
2.) Any type of cooking, direct or indirect
3,) Efficient as all get out
PS Got an extra large for Christmas and just snagged a small one for the portibility. Cooked steak and stuffed apples just tonight!

1.smoke flavor-more and easier than my gas grill.
2. temp control- with guru better than my oven.
3. seared steaks.
I grill therefore I am.....not hungy. -
The biggest advantage for me was that in Canada it was impossible to smoke with my offset smoker from November to April. I just made ribs on Sunday and it was just as easy at -5ºC as it is at 35ºC in July. Grilling was never a problem but any low and slow cook was a summer time project only before I bought the egg.Gerhard

You actually go out between nov and April. Better to hibernate until may -
1. Food Quality
2. The entire cooking experience
3. The brotherhood that comes with owning an Egg. Since March 2011, my BGE has spawned 5 other eggs to by buddies.

1. Cooking out doors is great.
2. And I agree, the family of Egg owners is a real blessing when you have a question.
3. Control, Control, and Control of temp for long periods of time with little effort.

Incredibly versatile - can sear at volcano temps or hold 250 for over 20 hours
Will last your lifetime
The only air running through the egg is just that required to combust the charcoal, therefore your food doesn't dry out like it does when cooked on a gasser
It's not a gasser
This forum
You never run out of propane
Pizza is terrific
Cool eggcessories
The food that you cook on the egg will often be the best your guest have ever had, and they will tell you that.
