You may have seen Google ads for several websites claiming to be "outlets" or sale prices of 80-90% off Big Green Eggs and eggsessories. Big Green Egg does not discount products online. Third party sites advertising as Factory Stores or Outlets are NOT legitimate sites. Only legitimate bricks+mortar dealers (https://biggreenegg.com/find-a-dealer/) are authorized to offer products online.

Like many specialty products, the Big Green Egg is currently available exclusively through a network of distributors and Authorized Dealers (Retailers) who are knowledgeable about the EGG and its many features and pride themselves on customer support. Discount Clubs and other similar entities are not Authorized Dealers, and are in effect reselling products they have acquired elsewhere. Big Green Egg does not recognize or offer a warranty on any EGG purchased from an unauthorized online reseller, so be wary of anyone claiming to be an online Big Green Egg dealer. For Authorized Dealer online EGG sales, delivered to your home by a certified dealer in your community, visit http://shop.biggreenegg.com/

    Haha - my local dealer has a big display, but ask for a price on hinges or some other component they don’t stock as it’s 15 minutes in a 4” binder.  Yes, binder.  To come up with - I know we can order it, just not sure of the price.

    I have a friend that bought online, but not at a discount. It looks now like that wasn’t a BGE dealer, but since he paid full price, does the warranty still count?

    I am confused, are these scam fraudulent sites really selling eggs or just pretending to sell them?  If I buy a pretend egg can I get pretend warranty parts?

    I received an email from a lawyer in Nigeria telling me that my long lost uncle passed.  I am his only surviving relative and I am set to inherit his BGE collection, I just need to wire money for shipping.

    I saw ad for a Mini Max online. Price-$99.00. For that price I could replace it four or five times and still be better off. I'm curious if the MM would ever show up.

    I’m positive I’ve spent $99 on dumber sh!t. Try it! You probably have better than a casino’s chance of the thing showing up.

    $99 is nothing.  I've paid more than that for a hand job in LA.

    My dealer went bankrupt.  I do still have my receipt though.  Hopefully another dealer will honor it if ever needed

    @Tip2Tip - maintaining the SWMBO does have its expenses and likely more than the street version.   =)
