Great move "Easier to beg forgiveness then ask permission." Just be aware that the pay-back will make the $200 seem insignificant.

What setup did you order?“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

I ordered 2 drip pans (minimax and XL), XL Woo, 17.5 stone, XL Wok, and a XL Kick Ash basket.
I was ordering the Kick ash basket anyway, but it was like $12 cheaper on CGS and got me to free shipping. XL Woo and stone, where cheaper than getting a Plate setter, so I just went that route for more versatility. Gave me an excuse to get the Wok too.

Well she knew about the drip pans, I'll tell her the same thing she tells me when she orders more than she told me she was going to. "Well I had to spend $XX to get free shipping....

I'm in the same boat as @Sea2Ski and thinking of putting in another last minute order. Evil, evil site.

I was at $303, then called today and ordered the 19" pizza stone. So yeah, about $347. Hopefully it all ships tomorrow.San Diego, Ca. XL BGE, 42" Lynx All Sear Grill,Thermapen, Thermopop, Adjustable Rig Combo, Maverick 733, SS Smokeware Cap, Flame Boss 200, Grill Grates.

I gave up. Couldn't get website figured out again during the sale and couldn't get them on the phone. I'm would have been my third substantial order from them. Got my XL decked out and one of my L's, but alas I was foiled this time around.Bill Denver, CO

I was planning to order about $200 worth of stuff but wife said "no" so I heard off. Got notified yesterday that my contract would end on 11/30 so good thing I held off.Marshall in Beautiful Fruit Cove, FL.

My wife stopped asking what I spent. I stop asking what she spent. Fiscally irresponsible but it keeps the peace.

I called CGS a few weeks ago to talk accessories for the MiniMax and my Primo round, and I ordered quite a bit of stuff, he was very helpful. At the end of the conversation he put a bug in my ear about getting a primo oval.... So I did. Not sure why a single person needs three grills but, whatever.
Then I ordered a KAB for MiniMax this weekend, and somehow ordered two. Now thinking maybe I need another grill because I have a KAB that needs a grill... All this AFTER I emailed @stlcharcoal about a Flameboss, and ordered that, and some other accessories.
Does it ever stop???? -

I have promised tmyself to stay away from CGS until the first of the year. Have three kids that need Santa to come through for them this year. Thankfully, the internet filter at work picked up on this forum, so I can't easily check in on all you instigators all day long and I have to say it has really helped with my savings!!Just bought an Egg? Here is what you get to look forward to now:
Plate Setter, FlameBoss 200, Spider, PSWOO-CI, Additional Rig Shelf for dome cooking, Thermapen, iGrill2, Cast Iron, Blackstone, Cooking Accessories for the Blackstone, Cover for the Egg and the Blackstone, shopping for Rub like a fine wine or IPA, and a new fascination with lump and what brand is the best-all to be debated every Friday Night. Next desires-Joetisceriie, Adjustable Rig, Grillmates, table and more eggs

I wish there was a reason. 9 grills for the wife and I. I found a free Acorn grill the other day on Craigslist but I resisted. 10 might be too much!Cashfan said:Not sure why a single person needs three grills but, whatever.

thanks to all for the supporting our ceramic venture. Generally, we are very good about getting orders out quickly but the last week as been......crazy. Shipping is running orders in batches and after tomorrow should be getting back to a more normal groove.
One thing we don't do is interrupt one customer for another, so if you call and don't get us, good chance we are helping someone else. The best thing to do is leave a message. We do our best to return calls daily.
We sincerely appreciate your patronage.

Thats a lot of grills! I had intended to sell the round after I got the oval, but during Thanksgiving, I had all three going at the same time, and really like having two nice sized grills. I have enough spare parts from warranties and accessories to build another Primo Round, but have resisted thus far. And then there is the Blackstone and SV temptations....WeberWho said:I wish there was a reason. 9 grills for the wife and I.

I have a handful of things from CGS.
Wife understands, she likes to eat food off the BGE, so when I ask her for [yet] another item, she says "stop asking, just buy it".
