    It may not destroy the BGE but it IS a kamado -

    @Ozzie_Isaac - I really doubt that will happen but I also think that the great majority of Weber buyers will never give the BGE a look.  
    Weber's business model (from my view) is that they build a solid grilling product and the saw a chance to penetrate the high end charcoal market (think Porsche and the Cayenne when SUV's first hit).  Their brand will move product although their price point for the tri-pod (modeled after the XL) is pretty aggressive.  
    I don't think the kamado cooker manufacturers have a worry as the kamado is a market where you have to go and seek a product.  That said, I have  eye-balled the Weber and can appreciate their strategy.  FWIW-

    I must admit I would love to have one, but the price is to steep for me.

    For the  $$ I would rather get a cabinet.

    I saw it today. It's nice! It is the same price and same size as a XL BGE.

    I would love to see that.  I haven't seen any here in town.  Don't think we have any premo super platinum dealers here.

    Any guesses on how long a load of briquettes will keep that thing cooking? Maybe it is a non issue given their hinged grate and and hinged defuser.

    Remember its a weber audience though.  They don't do anything over 6 hrs usually.  They don't know how to bbq.  There stuff is fake bbq for liberals and @nolaegghead.

    I bequeathed my 22 wsm to my younger brother when I got my egg, hard to remember, but I don't think I had many 10+ hrs cooks without having to throw in more charcoal. If the wsm were a car, I'd call it a gas guzzler :-)

    My 22" WSM goes 18 hrs, no problem. I've never cooked longer than that anyway. I've seen this new grill in person and it easily holds as much lump as the 22" WSM. It's double walled, so it's going to go longer than the WSM. I bet Webers literature on the WSM is conservative also. But those that know how to use them easily can cook as long as needed without a refuel.

    I'm excited to buy this grill. This year it's not happening. Family vacation this summer will be eating that money up.

    I was a BBQ newb when I had mine, so probably didn't get it mastered during my time with the WSM. @cookingdude555 are you in a warm humid climate? I've never heard of anyone getting 18hrs on a WSM, thats impressive!

    Couldn't agree with this more.  Many peeps here struggle with the WSMs, and end up getting an egg.  Bashing the WSM without knowing how to properly use it.

    I just did a 16 hr butt cook on 17lbs of lump and 10 or so briquettes on the 22 WSM, could've easily went 20.

    Avoiding the heat sink running waterless, and Minion method startup, are key.

    why are you so fascinated with that 12 year old picture taken after a contest I won a large BGE plus $1,000 cash on a 100º+ asphalt parking lot? Hell, there were guys there with shorter shorts than mine that day! BTW don't you even have a clue how you are coming across? Sorry I didn't have hard-on for you for your poster wall.

    I agree I never got more than 10 hours out of mine. I use a 22.5 kettle still and can get 8 hours out of it but not sure how anyone could get 18 hours without lots of mods.
