Twas the night before Egg shopping...

So tomorrow is the big day.  I'm driving out to Minneapolis to pick up my Egg! A bit of a drive, but looking forward to picking it up and starting to add some content instead of lurking all day.

RAC

Congrats! Which one did you get?

Exciting times, I hope you get some sleep tonight! Welcome to the club.

Congrats on the new Egg!  I love mine (have only had it for 2 years now), and am looking for a good deal on a large as a gift for my daughter and her soon to be husband. I was kind of hoping to see some sort of sale for Memorial day but so far... no luck.

Griff2w2

I found my deal on CL actually.  A dealer had a bunch of demo eggs he needed to unload and turned there to get some extra exposure for the event.

Didn't they tell you there is no 12 step program for the addiction you are about to experience. )

Have fun! And congrats on your new egg.

Welcome to the club and congrats on the new egg. Where are you driving from to go to Minneapolis and where in Minneapolis is the store? I worked in the Minneapolis area from July 2012 to October 2013. Nice in the summer, but a lot of snow in the winter.

 Awesome day for you! Take your time unboxing and assembling, it`s all a part of the journey, good luck and remember to stock up on Budweiser!

@Ladeback69 I'm driving from Minot Nd. The store is on the skirt of the east side

Griff2w2

SO Turns out the store was in St Paul. (I don't know the area but always have my trusty atlas)  Operation was a total success and the dealer is one hell of a class act!  Doing a practice burn that's dialed in to 240 (ish) dome.  The best part? My "better half" is out of town this weekend!

Don't waste that charcoal, run to the store and grab something to toss on the learning burn. Welcome!

Griff2w2

Lol thanks for the advice. I have a shelf filled with royal oak I've been using on the grill I learned on

+1 on what @DMW‌ said..get some protein to accompany your 240℉ ish practice run ;-)
