My friend just bought a Red Egg styled cooker today from Costco. He really loaded it up for his first cook

    Very nice. The food doesn't mind if it's red or green. ;)

    Just curious. What brand is it? It doesn't look like my Joe.

    I am not sure of the brand. He bought it today from Costco in Livermore California...... His total price out the door was $749 including everything

    That ain't a bad price at all. I like all the ceramic cookers. Have both a BGE and a JOE.

    Awesome. Been toying with the idea of getting a controller myself. I was considering the guru .

    I certainly don't know it to be fact but I have heard that Costco carries the Vision brand. We do not have Costco in our area. Wish we did. That's a good deal he got there.

    Thank you sir. If it's Vision they are really liked on some of the other forums that I frequent.

    Based on the photo I'd say that is the Large Red Infinity Series by Grille Dome.

    I have a Joe Jr. The pattern on mine is different. Not saying it ain't a Joe just looks different than mine. If it's a Joe that makes the price even better.

    Husker may have called it correct. Infinity.

    Doesn't look smooth enough to be a Grill Dome. And the dome in this one doesn't look as tall as those on a Grill Dome either.

    «««»or»»»» it's a Vision Grille. I've just don't recall seeing a Vision Grill in Red. But there are quite a few brands out now that have several color options.

    Husker that was my first thought as I have heard that Costco carries them. But the more I looked at the pic on the right I wasn't sure what it was.

    Have you ever put your hands on a Vision? @sgh ? The one I looked at felt like a cheap knock. And with that vertical you showed me today, why on earth would you want a pit controller. I'll be dreaming of a cooker like yours forever now.

    @Biggreenpharmacist‌
    No I have never saw one in person but I have read good things about them on other forums. As far as the controller I was considering it for the egg . Everyone seems to love them. I have made it this far without one I guess I should spend the money on something else .

    @Biggreenpharmacist‌ do enough Overnight L&S and you'll want a pit controller of some sort. If nothing else but for peace of mind.
    Big verticals and offsets can have similar benefits but, most tend to just go w/ manual dial in on those.

    I think it is a joe. They were selling joes at my Costco a month or so ago. One of their traveling showcase items.

    Back to the topic of getting a Stoker
    I purchased one around 1 1/2 months ago and love it.
    I researched BBQ Guru, The Big Green Egg version of BBQ, Cyber Q, Pitmaster IQ,

    I wanted one that was wireless and had the most apps available for it and the Stoker had the best selection for IOS and Android.

    Also the fan on the Stoker has a damper door that when it is not running, the damper door closes and no air is let into the bottom of the egg.

    Also the Stoker has 6 inputs where you can plug anything into any jack and they also support K-Series thermocouples if you purchase a K-series adapter.

    Good luck

    That looks like a KJ. Unless somebody copied their nest and grid system.
