    I don't have a Grilla Kong, but I do have their Grilla pellet smoker. I can't speak on the quality of the Kong, but I have dealt with their customer service a couple of times. There was never any questions asked and they were very helpful and easy to deal with.

    To say that bge is the only one who will still be around is ignorant.

    I propose that you post this same question on the Non-EGG Kamado Forums and report back with your findings.

    Is said friend handy or is he a pencil pusher? This would be an economical build and would get him into the game. Plus he'd literally know his cooker inside and out. Clearly Svend is on whole nother level.

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

    @SmokeyPitt that seems a little beyond my abilities.  All kidding aside that's a cool project to do with my daughter

    Long term purchase. Save up then buy when the time is right

    Not sure if it's related to Pitmaster but the 4 year warranty would stop me from buying.
    I'm a guy who has no issues buying used eggs, I actually prefer it, but I'm cheap.   The egg warranty is good, but is limited to say the least.  Just ceramic issues due to manufacturer error which if we look at it honestly would probably come out in the first year or so with heavy use.  
    I just got my complete XL replaced under warranty. Had a crack on the bottom, local dealer gave me a hard time, mothership made it happen. Got a completely new XL. I can personally say that the BGE warranty is second to none. Thanks to Bruce at the mothership! I will continue to purchase Eggs, and recommend them to my friends and loved ones.

    I am not a rich man. I had a hard time spending for my BGE. There is a guy here who sells Saffire. It is plenty nice. He sells his large for $749. That seems all good but you still have to buy accessories. If someone really is looking to save you may go that route but in the end I thought if I was going that far I might as well come off the other $150 and get the BGE.

    @Acn what's there to disagree with?  I'll assume you've fat fingered my above post.

    Or he doesn't think you and/or your daughter have the skills to pull it off?

    Please skip the "just get an egg" or "#BGE4LIFE" comments.    I was looking through other Kamado options, I have a large and MM looking for friends, and I really like the Grilla Kong, price seems right, features seem right.   But is it just a rebranded pitmaster kamado?  
    that grill is made by vision grills. forget customer service, they voided my warranty day one.they decided one day to void the warranty from a certain dealer, the day i bought mine. no problems with the grill except the daisy is cheaply made and there was a rubber gasket on the gage that melts off with the first use. mine was the kub, equivalent to the mini. either home depot or lowes sells vision, you can go look at one. the side tables are easily removed if you want to store them out of the weather

    Visions voided the warranty or Grilla did?

    Vision voided his warranty but it's because it wasn't sold through a vision dealer. Green egg does the same thing.
