I'd be pissed if I was the mother ship. I saw one at a bass pro a few years back and it was brown

Lmao...because Big Green Egg was the first company to make a ceramic grill.

@Photo Egg Not quite D bag.

You are just toooo funny Mr. Man

And how much did they want for that?

Not wanting to get in a Sunday night pissin contest, but what Darian was saying was tongue in cheek. The ceramic egg has been documented back to 3,000 years ago! Ed Fisher in Atlanta was importing clay Kamados from Japan for years before he began having the BGE mfg in 1974 and it has been copied again and again for years! When you have a successful product then copy cats happen. The strength is in the company and warranty after the cheap copy cat is carried out the door.

I don't think anyone is arguing the history of ceramic eggs. The point trying to be made is BGE has created and marketed a brand of ceramic eggs. It would be unfair and illegal for Another company to try and sell their ceramic egg using the same colors and likeness.

My neighbour got one at Lowes. It was $549 and the lower vent pulls out for cleaning. He calls it his "egg-a-like". It seems good for the money. He has trouble getting it real hot, not sure why, I haven't had a chance to play with it. He's happy but keeps saying its no egg!
