@Photo Egg second place is always striving to get to the top of the mountain. The company at the top may not see/ignore the run-up with the competition. The fact that there are a few companies after your lunch should fuel innovation. Time will tell. Momentum is a powerful thing in the market-place along with slick advertising and a product that at least meets or exceeds the parent company hype. Standing still always means you are losing ground to your competitors.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Bge is in first by a wide margin. KJ is in 2nd by a wide margin.

@pgprescott you'd have better info on that than me. I just remembered from a previous thread he stated something pretty specific about the new kj' before they came out, and when I asked him about it he said he used to work for kj. Pretty sure I've read before that company sales are private, so who knows.

Coach Finstock Teen Wolf -
The other thing about KJ's advances, good for them. My thinking is bge has a few years to do something about it before they feel it in the pocket book. When I bought my egg I didn't know there were competing products. My guess is that's true for many first time buyers.“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.”

Quote-"You just don't see many Primo dealers anywhere and even fewer Grill Dome dealers."
Exactly my point, both laid claim the coveted #2 spot at one time within the last 10 years.

Traeger does just that. As do many other manufacturers of many types of products.
I don't really care who sells the most kamados. I'm trying to think of any product or product category where the item that is the most popular, as judged by units sold, is also the "best" item in its class. Certainly not true of watches, or computers, or tvs, or cars. I'm sure there must be something for which that is true and I'm just not thinking of it at the moment.

As they say, the price may well be lower in the store. In store prices frequently are lower especially at end of season when they want to clear some space.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk -

I have 2 BGES, will have a third very soon. I have gone to the road shows, seen the KJs in dealerships. Have not seen the first one to guarantee it will do anything any better than what brought me into the ceramic cooker lifestyle.
I like what I have, I have a great relationship with my dealer, I cook great tasting food.
Is there something out there with all the bells and whistles? Sure. Will it cook as much as mine with great results each time? Dunno.
I do know my set up, bare bones, has been awesome thus far, on both the XL and the MM.
I am good. I like my BGEs."Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

Some of you know I am looking for a MM or small as a second eg for daily cooks.
Found the Joe Jr yesterday online at WalMart for $482 while my local Ace wants $599 for the MiniMax. But on looking closer shipping is $196 making the total $678. Not such a bargain anymore considering I can drive home with the Mini from my local Ace.Marshall in Beautiful Fruit Cove, FL.

You and I both know why KJoe had to go the regional retailer route. We both know why they restructured their outside sales rep program. You and I also know why they are in Costco, whose model they are following and what happens if they loose Costco.
I give the guys at KJoe credit for doing what they have to do to compete. They do one thing better than any other and that is use their fan base to hype the KJoe brand on the internet.
