Any thoughts regarding Nest Handlers
I have a large BGE in the nest and move it in and out of the garage every time I use it. I'm very careful and keep a hand on the nest and the egg while rolling it back and forth but have a fear of tipping it over. Anybody have any experience with the handler? Are they worth the price or even necessary? Thanks in advance for the knowledge.
One large BGE in Louisville, KY.

I have one on my large... Barely move my egg, I wouldn't be without it. Makes moving it so much easier when needed.MSV Chill Spot

Night and day difference. In your situation, you'd be crazy not to get one IMO.

I bought one for my large a year ago and honestly forgot I had it. Still sitting in the box somewhere. Thank you for the reminder. I've heard good things about them

Have one on my medium and my XL. I love them. Personally, I think they should come with the nest.

Plus one on adding the handler to your nested egg. The handler makes it easier to move, but more importantly it creates a solid link between the nest and the egg.

Pretty sure mine was 80 bucks, but that was nearly 6 years ago. Think they are going for 120 now MSRP. Large egg by the way.I raise my kids, cook and golf. When work gets in the way I'm pissed, I'm pissed off 48 weeks a year.Inbetween Iowa and Colorado, not close to anything remotely entertaining outside of football season.

The handler is a must have for moving the egg around. I take my Large over to the neighborhood pool, over pavers and a couple of curbs. Without the handler, I would be nuts to attempt to move it that far.Happily Egging since 1996, still egging on my original large BGE, along with 6 other Big Green Eggs of assorted sizes.
