    welcome back man. Glad to see you coming out of the fog :). Don't have any input on the grill that hasn't been mentioned above but just wanted to say it's nice to see you back.

    thanks brother, life is good again. spent a few years rebuilding my foundation, clearing my head, and I am fortunate to bounce back to where I am.

    can't wait to grill on something other than a weber kettle too!
    Boom

    The others may be cheaper but none of them have the knowledgebase that this place has and that counts for a lot.
    you don't need to own an egg to take advantage of the knowledge base.

    Yeah, but that's kind of cheating. Like if you buy a Blakstone griddle from BB&B...

    Haha, ya I thought about that right after I posted it. I guess I was just referring to the comradery that comes with owning an egg.

    I will have be much more hammered and well beyond escape velocity to talk  anything negative about any Weber product.  I would venture that the great majority of forum posters have owned and cranked great groceries on a Weber rig and may still do so today. FWIW-

     Weber and BGE live in harmony ... actually Weber lives in harmony with every BBQ grill or smoker.

    Only commies hate Webers.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    The Weber 26.75 with slow n sear is one of my all time favorite cookers.  It does a few things better than an egg, a few things not quite as good.  That's we we need large patios.

    I think 95% of Webers are now made in China so I would argue Commies love Webers... =)
