I stopped by Offenbachers in Fairfax Va last night to pick up some charcoal and noticed that they had an XXL BGE. Rolled over to take a look and holy hell!! 5 grand!!

Now for that 5 grand you get the egg, the nest and the plate setter. You also get the cool little lid band that says first 1000 made.

    Imagine if you didn't burp it correctly??
    A clean burn would look like a jet engine spewing blue flames.
    Lid mis-alignment would be so annoying.
    But its soooooo big!

    My dealer at Kansas City BBQ Source has one of the original 1000, with the plate setter, nest and I believe the side tables for somewhere in the $3000's originally over $5000 for all that.  My guess that would also come with 20 lb bag of lump, ash tool and starter sticks.  It's still up there, but better then $5000.  I think I would rather have GoodOne Marshall they have for $2200 that will cook my food and is more portable to compete with or do cratering if I was to do so.

    If your serious about buying an XXL last time I was at Dizzy Pig in Manasas they had one she said she'd like to get rid of and would discount since it takes up so much space. Not sure if someone's bought it but it would be worth checking out.

    A local Ace had one listed for $2,999.  I didn't ask if anything was included in that or not.

    I am very happy i didnt get an xxl...back when they were coming out, i had the money in hand ready to buy.   First, it was thanksgiving, then christmas, then memorial day, then fathers day and well, not spending $5k then was the best thing i ever didnt.   Id rather have a couple of xl eggs and a large and a minimax and all the gurus, multigrid racks and accessories for less than $5k. 

    But the dramatic buildup to xxl prepared me for the dramatic buildup for the minimax, which, looking back, is something i use the heck out of.  The xxl might get used 6x a year but i am not even sure this optomistic estimate would play out.   But, when i look at how many times i fire up the minimax, i am so glad that is the extra toy i bought.  It has practical applications, is transportable and is far and away the bge i use the most

    Hmmmm, is it just me, but why try to sell a brand new, never used XXL way under priced and without warranty but using a picture of a large...not even an XL picture? Any time when I would try to lay out that much coin for an unwarranted XXL then I hope some one had already taken my credit cards away from me!  =)

    I don't know.  They're about 100 miles south of me. Call them and see what the deal is. I'm just passing on the  info.

    When I called jambo they were a heck of a lot more then 5K and a 10 month wait...just sayin

    @RRP yes we are still doing the food truck. Doing more of the events and catering now then just going out for the general public to find us. It's kinda nice working just a few days a week and making enough money to live on.

    Big Green Egg co really messed up on this product release.  What they should have done was have it ready to deliver rather than tease us and risk canceled orders or the market cooling to its latest gadget.   I was so ticked at this that it became personal to me with the subsequent similar process with the minimax.


    I am wondering if the xxl will remain in production amd whether parts availability will continue 10 yrs from now.   Xxl is really a commercial caterer or restaurant user and i dont know what its production cost us but the pricimg of it is ridiculous.  bGE in the process said, hey we will tease you with this awesome item, amd by the time pricing is set it is like hey we will thank you for waitimg this lomg so we are not only gonna grab your nuts but now we will pull amd twist.  That isnt bge intent but thats how i felt.  5 grand, i wont.  650 ish out the door on minimax, ill deal with it

    BGE has no threat besides maybe kamado joe. Prices are up there. Its not for every class. You have to be somewhat insane to consider and then follow through with buying an egg. Unless cash isnt an issue. I look back and ask why did i pay hundreds for some ceramics?? But its a want, not a need. XXL IMO is amazing but obviously unrealistically not practical for daily/personal use.

    Once the pricing gets around $4,000.00, one should really start looking at the Komodo Kamado line and start comparing.
