XL BGE? 24 inch diameter cooking area

GrillMeister

I've heard talk of an Eggstra Large BGE with a 24 inch diameter cooking area. Anyone else hear about this?

Car Wash Mike

GrillMeister,
Yep, sure did about 3 weeks ago. My distributor called and told me that he had heard they were making a bigger egg just not much after that.[p]CWM

Heard from a VERY reliable source that it was demo'd at the big California home and garden show last week. Details will be coming out soon!![p]Jim

QBabe

JSlot,[p]I heard about the demo at the California show too...pretty "egg"citing![p]Tonia
:~)

GrillMeister,[p]I saw the XL at the show. It's going to be a great new offering from BGE in late spring. Looks great and BIG. A must have for the real eggers.[p]

GrillMeister, I saw the Dinosaur Egg at the show last week and even tasted some food as they had it in action. It was a beautiful sight to see.

GrillMeister, Anyone have any pictures of this XL BGE?[p]BeerMike

GrillMeister,
Call me quirky, but I'm firmly in the camp of "Bigger is Better." My large BGE is actually as small as I will ever go with a grill. I know a lot of people love their med's and smalls. I'm just not there. If there is a dinosaur egg in the future, let it be part of my future![p]Does anybody know if it is round or oval?
Not to throw water on this particular fire, but based on my personal experience, I think I would want to see some actual user reports about hinge performance before jumping on this wagon.

It is round.[p]Jim

Just like an egg should be.[p]John

BeerMike,[p]My local dealer saw it at a show. He was impressed.

GrillMeister

tn slagamater,[p]I heard it weighs 200 lbs. That's gonna sell alot of carts & egg nests.

GrillMeister

rock,[p]Hmmm. Most large Weber Kettels are 22" in diameter, and the monster egg has 2 more inches. That's some serious cooking area.

GrillMeister, I was at egg central in atlanta this past weekend and B.A. said they were coming out with a new 24" large. Did'nt know eggs-actly when but it is on the way.

WooDoggies,[p]Eggs are round?! How many drinks did you have last night? ) The eggs where I live are cylindrical looking but they ain't round. Got sort of a taper to 'em. You know, so it's easier on the chicken when she pushes the d*mned thing out. Otherwise, her backside would slam shut on her and that just might hurt that chicken.

Brett

GrillMeister,
What does this bad boy weigh in at?

JSlot

Word on the street is it comes in at around 200 lb. I'm guessing just a little above that. The charcoal grate itself weighs 15 lb.! LOL.[p]Jim

GrillMeister

backyard bbq,[p]I can see another toy coming at Christmas this year![p]Now, how to explain it to Mrs. GrillMeister? Maybe I'll give her one of my Large BGEs?

GrillMeister

Tim M,[p]It looks like we've got several confirmations of the 24" diameter and the 200 lb. weight.[p]Maybe Da Mayor will have one at the Waldorf Eggfest so we can have a look-see.

JSlot

I hear that arrangements are being made to have one at Waldorf. Chances seem to be about 90% from what I gather.[p]Jim

Cornfed

JSlot,[p]I heard chances were only 89% that one would be at Eggfest. Who's your source? Huh? Huh???[p]Just kidding,

JSlot

I needed that laugh this afternoon! Thanks![p]Jim

GrillMeister

JSlot,[p]Great. Are you gonna bring a whole hog to cook on it?

JSlot

Wish I was gonna be there, Ed. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, the EGGomaniacs were committed to a contest in Spartanburg, SC before the Waldorf date was announced. We'll be there in spirit![p]Jim

Smokin Joe

Hey Mac, Have you been hanging with StumpBaby??? LOL Joe

JSlot,[p]The Jets just signed some guy named "Tongue." I think we all need a laugh![p]http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/view_toparchive.php?id=668[p]Later,

slicktop,If B.A. said it's on it's way,it's on it's way!!

WooDoggies,
Count me in on this! I want one, and the sooner the better. Weight and cost are both details. Means that I can do bigger and better things on the BGE!
I know what I am giving my sales force for incentives next year!

Guess the our opponents are gonna take a lickin' now!!!!

Cornfed

JSlot,[p]Too funny! What's this I read above about you not making it to Eggfest?!? You'll be missed. Good luck in the competition, though. And send us some of your ribs...[p]Later,
Cornfed
