andybarn · January 2018

Excellent condition-Garage kept. Never been exposed to elements. SWMBO does not care for smoked foods. Thought i could change her mind. HOPELESS !!! Spoiled her with sous vide and Blackstone Griddle..
Extras include:
XLWoo2 Adjustable Rig Combo
Oval Stainless Grids (2)
18" Stainless Drip Pan
Extra Crossbars
Kickash Basket
Smoke ware S/S Dome Cap
Flame Boss 200 Temp Controller
Cyber Q Controller
What would be a good asking price. Don't have to be in a hurry to sell!!
Thanks for all the info I have gained from this site.

Sorry to hear the sad news. Some would say "get another wife"?

You have a lot of extras but since there is no warranty for the new buyer, maybe 8-900?

I agree it’s probably will bring $800 ish, depending on your market (Craiglist). You will get more by selling the controllers by themselves. Same way with accessories. Price everything out separately on the forum, and you might be surprised what people will pay if you are willing to ship.

My first wife only liked food off the gasser. Got rid of her and the gasser. Second wife loves meals off the BGE, and the Blackstone! She's a keeper.

Agree with above, I would split up the higher end extras and sell separate.

Where are you? Prices on the west coast are higher than the east coast.

I'dgive it another shot, ditch any smoking woods try just searing your SV cooks for a while

This ^^^^^. There has to be something going on to make the food too smokey.

I would be very interested in this, if you're within 250 miles or so of 49093. I'll give $1000 cash.

As you may know, different types of lump can impart different levels of smokiness. I’ve often baked on the Egg without anyone being able to tell. A neutral lump may make all the difference.

Also make sure the initial white smoke clears prior to putting food on.

I bet you $1 he is using BGE lump

100% agree. Do yourself a favor. Order 1 bag of Rockwood, let smoke clear, then try again.

If your wife still says no, then sell the egg (or try a new wife).

SWMBO doesn't even care for food cooked with Briquets in weber grill.

Keep the egg. Sell the opposition!

Not everything is for everyone, your loss will be someone else’s gain. Good luck. I’d try as suggested above, buy a bag of rockwood and do some straight up grilling without any added smoke wood, bake some pizzas too if you haven’t already.

Thanks for all the responses and suggestions.

If this thing was any closer to Butt Blast it would already be gone

Sweet deal

ChokeOnSmoke · January 2018

My wife doesn't like smoke either. Cooking with no smoke flavor isn't a problem or difficult at all to do with the egg. Simply wait until clear smoke comes out of the top. That's it. I've made many things on the egg that you don't want to have a smoke flavor like cookies or pretzels. Not a problem.
It's not the grill, it's the chef that controls the flavor.

Try the CharBroil lump. Nothing comes close to its neutral flavor. It burns cleaner than any other lump. Its as close to cooking in an oven as there can be. While she may like that, others may prefer the smokiness of Rockwood.
