BGE Dealer Going to Quit

i started to post something similar rod... but i held back. glad you said it.

one idle comment about sears and BGE in the same sentence, and everyone goes absolutely batsh!t nutty.

I may go cook up a batch of 45-day dry aged galvanized bolts wrapped in aluminum foil on my egg with a rutland gasket. Then I will leave them on the coutner precisely 4 hours and 1 minute before consuming them.

i bought ge and citi at the bottom. ge will be fine, citi (c) is a toss up.

but you can't sell high if you never buy low.

keep them in the cryo and they will be fine

Hi Folks,

Let me set a couple of things straight and put everyone's minds to ease. Regardless of what you might hear on the rumor mill, Big Green Egg is not selling our product to Sears or any other "big box" comapny. We value our dealer network and we work hard every day to improve it.

The Big Green Egg Cookbook will be available to Big Green Egg Dealers exclusively until June of 2010 at which point it will be put in the general distribution network for the publisher. So Sears is incorrect when they say it will be for sale in February. Originally it was going to be March 1st but we had them change that to June 1st and Sears obvioulsy doesn't keep in touch with their distributor very well.

For the fortunate folks who pre ordered and paid for their books through Big Green Egg, those books will be signed by Ed Fisher, which makes the book much more special, and in my opinion more valuable.

So you might be able to get the book at the reduced price, but you can't get that until June at the earliest, and the one you bought and paid shipping on will be the special autographed copy.

I bought my egg 5+ years from BarbeqGalore and they had no service at the time. Of course, they are now out of business in Norther :( n VA. The local place in Fairfax, VA sucks and would not order me a new ring because I did not buy it from them.
Fortunate, the BGE HQ has GREAT service and has always come thru for me.

If you go even one minute past four hours, then you will die. Just thought I would let you know.........

Don't do it...your egg will become filled with poisonous fumes, seeping into the ceramic and poising future cooks you will make your family very sick...and aluminum foil is made of Tin, at least up hear in the north

and what is "regular" coffee anyways? :blink:
 

"regular" coffee is made from coffee berries that were eaten and digested by civet cats whose diet contains a good variety of dietary fiber

 
Thank God, I always had that confused with Kopi Luwak and I'm not that brave. LOL.

One thing I have noticed throughout life is how salespeople always have a "reason" they don't carry something any more. And that reason usually makes them look good.

Then I always wonder if, well, maybe they didn't pay their bill or represent the product well enough.

In the case of your dealer, even if the minimum order IS 12 eggs, that doesn't sound unreasonable for a dealer who is supposed to be selling the product. You get a "wholesale" discount by buying volume. 12 is a "case", minimum 1 case. Sounds normal.

Happy New Year!

For some reason your post makes me want a beer.

I know if I was selling Eggs, I would buy more than 12 at a time. Sounds like they aren't selling them very well.

You and I each have 3 eggs...so we alone would make up half an order.

If they understand the product and teach the new customers, it will create the passion that is common around here. That combination will sell eggs like a snowball is made.

Seems to me that if dealers want to sell the eggs, they need to have the forum bookmaked on their computers to show customers. They should treat the forum as a value added item. If potential buyers see that they get tons of advice pertaining to the BGE here, they may be more inclined to shell out the bucks. I know this forum was a selling point for me.
