So, those of you who bought BGE from Costco, have you heard back in regards to your warranty, and whether or not they will honor it? You are seeing BGE's pop up everywhere. They are now at Freidman's here in Northern California, a chain of ha…

For those of you living near a BJ's warehouse store, apparently on the East Coast, I am hearing from a few different people fhat they have the Large BGE at Bjs includes nest, cover, everything for $799.00.

Tonight I did a spatchcock chicken, indirect with a plate setter, a couple chuncks of hickory. Used my maverick, keeping the gril temp at about 375 and let the deepest part of the thigh get to about 175. It was cooked, really to perfection, but I h…

Good night, Jim Bob.

I too have a rather unconventional way of cooking Rib-eyes. I like to mound my lump all to one side. when the charcoal is good and hot, I put the rib-eyes on the charcoal side, sear them, with the flame licking them, for about two minutes, then mov…

You and I know all about BGE but most folks don't. Moving to major markets certainly trumps the bait-shop/egg-dealer model. I don't see any posts from BGE upper-management denying involvment with Costco. It looks to me like a corporate move to r…

Good luck with your cooker, JM. I know the Big Steel Keg has a lot of loyal followers out there who think highly of their grill. Perhaps this might fall into that same category.

Hello, from Sonoma, ca

Yeah, I dunno,.. The Green Egg is built and manufactured in Mexico, I recently read about American manufacturers experiencing problems with the quality of concrete prefabbed blocks coming out of Mexico. Makes me wonder if the Green Egg is really saf…

Bunch of guys bragging about the size of their lumps.... you know, it's not really about the length of your lump, it's about what you do with it! ;)

Arrg, Matey, sorry for your misfortune, hope you get better soon. BTW, the eye patch is a great way to pick up chicks....

You don't really need to "protect" the Egg - the table, yes. But the Egg, no. Some folks who live in areas w/ large amounts of snow keep their Eggs uncovered, and cook on them, ALL YEAR ROUND! :-) Currently I don't cover my Egg, but should be fin…

Gdenby: "If you light a bigger area, the dome temp goes up faster. In fact, if a torch is used to light most of the lump surface, it may be impossible to not exceed 400F dome, and take an hour to cool below that." A very good point. I will have …

Sorry 'bout that. Tried t embed a video of a guy that has a gas conversion but it didn't work out...

Been using Full Circle my last couple of bags. It seems to be well priced at our local store. In the Bay Area and it burns really well. Here in CA, Lazzarri is a popular brand and well priced at a local feed store. However, it's all mesquite and a …

Sorry, didn't word that real well. It is probably not standard procedure, but we did a turkey on a med egg some years back where we used and inverted plate setter, in place of the fire ring, creating more room in the dome for the turkey.

When I cook ribeyes on a small BGE, my preferred method is to remove the fire ring, bringing the grate just inches from the coals for a good quick sear. I can say that the removable fire ring is an advantage because when you are using a kamado that …

Hey, more power to that guy! Alton Brown demonstrated it pretty good on one of his shows on Food Network. He took two large clay pots, used one as a base and one as a lid, created a heat source and smoked an out-of-this-world Boston butt on it.

You're right, Devil... can't deny that... I tend ta shoot off at the mouth a bit more than I should. If they had that Large BGE in my neck of the woods in the $800 range I woulda grabbed it.

John Ross and Village Idiot- Congratulations, John Ross. I think you are the first troll on this forum. Hopefully, the last. WTF are are you talking about? A troll is someone who post inflammatory remarks on a message board. I responded to a…

Congratulations to you if you can get that set up at that price in your area. Everywhere I have looked in my area, I couldn't touch one for less than $11-1200. Won't beat a dead horse any longer, but I saved more than a couple bucks, try around $600…

It is tough to screw things up on a kamado. Overcook it by a bunch, and it's still tasty...
-
Hey, I did the exact same cook last night. Spatchcock chicken on the raised grate, potatoes underneath it in the main grate @ about 350 for a bit over an hour. Came out fine! I just wish I could get the outside of the chicken a little crunchier. Thi…
-
Yeah, I would agree with you there, as I was saying, I wouldn't have bought it for $769, but for $499, couldn't pass it up, and btw, $800 for a lg KJ with stand? They are still significantly less than BGE. I thought their prices had gone about even …

I'm pretty sure my wife follows her on YouTube. She was showing me one of her vidsthe other day. She's really good, and seems so comfortable in front of the camera...

There was a guy who had a picture of one on his egg, on the BGE Facebook page, it looked like a very nice fit.
-
Not defending the price, certainly... but sometimes they have models you can pick up from the dock, wherever that is, starting at about $2200.00. I think right now, the companies that are taking the biggest bite out of BGE's market share in the l…

lol...range from $2500-3500+
