It is only about a 3 hour drive for me.  I could really use the grid space for hamburgers for large gatherings. . .  :)

    Sweet- only about $500 more than what they are selling for at dealers these days.  From what I have heard on here, the dealer asking price has dropped to about $3500.  

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I didn't see mention of the warranty, no way I'm spending 4k on another rig, and if I did it wouldn't be another egg - especially without a warranty.

    Saw the XXL for the first time at the Athens Texas Eggfest. It was rolled onto a pallet then fork lifted into the truck/trailer. What a beast...

    Wondering out loud here as I really don't know - but what is the diameter of a XXL as compared to the far FAR cheaper largest Weber that I think is called the Rancher or something like that?

    Ranch Kettles are 37.5" grates where the XXL is a 29" grate. A new ranch kettle is $1300.  I've looked at those for years but never even been interested in one. I can't imagine the burns reaching over that much coal to flip a burger in the back!

    Yeah, this is one I'd forego a craigslist deal for a warranty.  Anything breaks on that one and it's going to be a pain and costly to replace.

    I still think it's BS that a "lifetime" warranty is only for the original purchaser.  If these things last forever, there's no reason not to warranty them forever as they pass through generations in a family.  If they want to be anal about the receipt.....fine (even though I think that's BS too because there are no "counterfeit" BGEs.)  You should be able to gift or bequest it someone with the warranty staying in force.  Take a page from the firearm industry--product liability last forever, so warranty your product forever regardless of who owns it.  I'll get off my soapbox.....  B)

    I paid 3600.00 for mine assembled and delivered with a full warranty from my dealer. And that was when they first came out.

    The XXL is listed as having a 30" diameter grill. The Weber Rancher Kettle back calculates to a 37.5" diameter.

    As a XXL owner I say skip it. There are much better cookers on the market for the same price. If you really want to spend that amount spend a bit more and get a Kamari Komodo. (Here comes the buffalo)

    I did text him and he did say 4K o.b.o. Seeing the pic I'm guessing he is a dealer so warranty should be there. If you really want it go 3k and don't go over 3.5k with warranty. Just my .02

    Rumor has it that the local BGE dealer in town would let his go for 3k
