Chiminea - MSRP?

Hi,

We bought our Large BGE (+table and accessories) from a local BGE authorized dealer, the closest one at the time.

Since then, our local Ace Hardware has set themselves up as a dealer.

We're now looking to purchase a BGE Chiminea with stand.

We called both places. Ace hardware quoted roughly 350 for the chiminea plus stand with no extra charges.

The other dealer quoted 500 for the chiminea, stand and the cooking grate :blink:! When asked, he said we could knock off 23 dollars if we didn't want the grate. On top, he said he placed an order with BGE this morning and if we wanted a special order it was 75 dollars extra.

Based on the 'special order' fee alone that dealer will get no more business from me.

But... what is the MSRP for the chiminea?

Thanks
UKMatt

    According to the MSRP list that I picked up at Eggtoberfest 2009,Chiminea-glazed $297.95, Chiminea stand $38.95, thats all that is listed hope this helps.

    I can't answer your question, but my Ace just dropped the chiminea price from $325 to $299. I was going to ask if this was a good price. It must be.
    The Ace folks here seem to be on the same page as yours. I'll go up to Denver to Outdoor Kitchens. They will order anything no problem.

    Thanks to cookn biker and JCinNV for the input.

    I guess we'll go with Ace at ~350 for the chiminea and stand... Can't wait to fire it up now!

  • Looking at our cost, not knowing fgt. cost, with what your getting That is a fair price. Ace is making some profit. If I needed one I would pay that. Stay warm & Smiles to you.
