  • @CTS & Frankie: worst flame war ever! You guys stink at this. ;) Tazcrash, if you want to see a flame war.... http://www.greeneggers.com/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&func=view&id=1235309&catid=1# Enjoy!  =)
  • I just wonder how long this business model will be sustainable.  Even with the increase in price over the years, it's going to be tough finding the funds to fulfill warranty claims...
  • I think warranty claims get taken care of by someone else now... not Bruce. When I had to file a claim, a friendly gentleman named Duane got back to me.
  • The firebox still looks usable anyways. Although I would offer less than $600 due to the crack.
  • Yeah didn't see the comment about current owner not bring able to get service. My bad.
  • Found an XL on Craigslist for $600. Has a cracked firebox, missing ceramic cap, and needs a new grid. Good deal? I have an XL already, but my buddy is in the market for an egg. If you have a warrantied XL, you can get the guy a new firebox. I kin…
  • DANG.  Would you like some ground beef with your cheese?  ;)
  • I've just been told directly from someone at BGE that the rain cap is not being discontinued.  Just the feet are. (I asked, because I had to file a warranty claim for my rain cap).  
  • I would try to find reviews on customer service, and what is the warranty policy. There are some other very good cookers out there, but the warranty service from BGE is one if the best.

  • It will be covered. Even an egg given as a gift from a friend is covered, as long as it was gifted brand new.
  • I assume GD means Grill Dome and Grill Dome = Brand X.  I looked into them when I got my egg, I thought they had pretty good customer service & warranty.  Maybe not a lifetime warranty, but something like 20 or 30 years on the ceramic parts. Jus…
  •  "I have both, you buy a BGE if you want the community and you are going to travel with it, you buy “X”  if you aren't going to travel" -that really resonated with me-because there is no way I was going to start travelling with a smoker -although no…
  • good price? MEDIUM - Big Green Egg: Seasoned and comes with Plate setter and Table. Selling because I have the Large BGE and don't really need or use the medium egg that much. Retail new $625.00 without the plate setter and table. Happiness in a …
  • I was just driving and listing to AM radio here in Central Texas and heard a advertisement for a local BBQ store. The whole message was about the BGE. I dont think I have ever heard or seen a public advertisement except for a small poster in a few a…
  • I'm sure they will replace it with no prob.  I think you missed the part where he says he's in Canada.  I wouldn't cross my fingers on getting a new lid.....
  • Hmm.... is the mini supposed to come with feet?  Mine didn't.
  • Anybody ever tried roasting their own beans on the egg? What were the results? I've never tried roasting beans before but everything else on the egg is great. Probably no advantage to do it on the Egg, as the beans have to be constantly stirred to p…
  • of course, that means you were actually watching the Price is Right.... hahaha I know, i know, you were just clicking through the channels. oh snap, you got me.   i'm now accepting Paypal donations for my Cable TV fund.....
  • after searing, try lowering temperature and/or indirect to finish it.
  • Eggdome, try leaving the top vent wide open (or completely take it off), and control the temperature with the lower vent.
  • Quinn:  Are you in Jefferson county? And the amount of air pollution a cow releases from farting is probably more than the pollution released from cooking it, haha....
  • I guess I should have clarified.... I was saying what I myself would PAY for a used large, considering no warranty and no accessories/nest.   That said, these other guys are probably pretty accurate as what you might be able to SELL it for though. …
  • I'd say without accessories, 250-350 for the large, simply because it has no warranty, I would not pay more. My condolences on your loss...
  • Thanks Mickey. Technically gride is spelled "grid".   Just kidding  ;)
  • so let me get this straight.  if i get the old one, i just need them to re-order the 10" grate, not a whole new ceramic base?
  • if the grill diameter of the new version is larger, i assume that means the inner diameter of the ceramic base is also larger than the old one?
  • @ Odie91Measure the cooking gride. Must be 10". Your dealer is not up to speed. Many have double hinge with 9.5 gride. May or may not be SS. he said he's getting it from the Ace Hardware warehouse.   if he arrives with the old version, i assume only…
  • just ordered the MINI today from Ace.   i explained that i wanted the new version with 10" grill.  guy called in to check and told me the old and new version are same size, just different hinge.  nevertheless, he's picking up the new version for me …
  • I was joking about the Costco comment.  But on a more serious note, maybe check if there is an Eggfest in Alabama?
  • Buy it at costco..... sorry, i just had to  ;)
