This is Dan, new President of Big Green Egg. I am following up with the results from the "Listening Tour" launched last month. We heard from an incredible 4,525 EGGheads who took the survey to provide feedback. After making sure that Carlos from Nebraska received his XL EGG package as our random winner, we processed and analyzed the input from your fellow EGGheads. We are excited to share with you in the short video below what we learned and our plans for the future as a result.

 Allow me to ruin the surprise...here are the headlines from the video, based on EGGhead feedback:

  • BGE is tripling our investment in product innovation and looking for a Product Development Leader to lead the charge. Talk about a dream job!  See the job post below.
  • We are inviting you to be part of our exclusive EGGhead Panel. What is that?

- An insider group of EGGheads from around the world who volunteer to provide us feedback in exchange for a "first look" at ideas and new innovations, as well as additional recognition as our thank you. 

- All you need to do to participate is fill out a couple of quick questions in the link below, accept the terms and conditions and we will get going in 2024.

    Check out the video and links below for more details.

    Thanks again and happy holidays, my EGGfriends!

      That's cool.
       
      Really kind've tempting to apply, I meet all the qualifications except 1) I know Affinity Photo and not PS, 2) I don't live in Atlanta (and abhor the humidity), and 3) my MS is in Industrial Engineering, not Design.  I did apply for the Egghead Panel, though; that'd be fun.

    • Two suggestions. First fix the gasket situation. Second bring back Eggfests. There are others but I won’t be greedy.

    • This could be more engaging if you asked people to nominate members of the forum
      they think would be great for the panel.

      I nominate John to be in charge of the panel......now how about the bourbon tasting room.                                     It took me about ten years complaining that we needed a bge bottle opener before we got one =). Free bourbon should be a nobrainer

      They should look at forum members post counts and start at the highest and work down that list and contact the members and ask if they'd like to receive "X" to use/review.

      Something tells me you did not read the OP’s description of the panel.  Because that’s not how this works.  That’s not how any of this works.

      I reread it.  Bge needs a team to develope a good product like bge bourbon. Then ten years to age it......somehow I don't see a panel being formed with this forums members

      Fortunately besides ringing up Covid vaccine shots, being old means "you never have to say you are sorry." =)
      Whatever it takes, just get this forum off-life support.  Participant sustained new blood is the way ahead.
