Hey all,
My first post here, but I have been a faithful lurker for almost 2 years. Love the forum and I have learned a ton. Ive been trying to recreate the stuff I pick up from you guys on my gas grill. There have been some successes and a few colossal failures but generally lots of fun while I dreamed of getting an egg someday.
Well guess what? Today Im cooking dinner for my parents and my sister's family. My little retired Dad rolls up with 200 lbs of XL Big Green Egg in the back of his truck. I say something along the lines of "Holy Cow, are you nuts? Take that back to the store"..He says " Stop talking and help me unload it, it weighs a ton"
So we wrestled it to the back patio and I guess I am the proud owner of a brand new XL. Is that crazy or what?

Six To Go,[p]You are going to love the egg! When you get a meal right on it - wow! The main downfall: you will have a hard time finding restaurants you like.[p]Just make sure to post your questions (you will have some), there is a ton of great people on this board that help alot.[p]I wish I had a father like that. All I got this year was a pat on the back with 'how come you can't me more like your brother?"[p]:)[p]

It's great to read this first thing in the morning- a wonderful story. Now you got the big'un, you can do anything.
Prepare yourself to be a fanatic, many of us here are.
Have fun!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Might as well sell or give away the gasser because once you get going on the BGE you can never go back. Well have to go check the temp on my shoulder, only 7 hours to go.

Six To Go,
If my Dad were to do that, he would have to...[p]a.) unload it by himself
or
b.) wait for me to recover from my sudden lightheadedness to help.[p]What a great story. Welcome aboard.

Six To Go,[p]That is a great story...My wife bought my large egg with all the extras..table and everything behind my back before Father's day!...[p]I bet the look on your face was "priceless" and I bet that just that look was well worth it for your father!
