I am relatively new to the BGE world, this is my 4th year with our LBGE.  So I am curious as to who out there in BGE land has the oldest BGE still in service?

    Not sure my overall age but its all been replaced at one time or another except the bands.
    XLBGE, LBGE, Charbroil Gas Grill, Weber Q200, Old Weber Kettle, Rectec RT-B380, Yeti 65, Yeti Hopper 20, RTIC 20, RTIC 20 Soft Side - Too many drinkware vessels to mention.

    Just Vote- What if you could choose "none of the above" on an election ballot? Millions of Americans do just that, in effect, by not voting.  The result in 2016: "Nobody" won more counties, more states, and more electoral votes than either candidate for president.

    my dome on that one is still original.  the mexican made band that year was not made too well, most failed in a couple years. bge replaced mine maybe 10 years after the 3 year warranty expired.....springs were smaller and the band to handle was welded on just that one year

    I believe Ron has one that was fired sometime around ‘Nam.

    hey...I saw that!

    Actually I bought my first in 2000, but like fish said I'm sure there are older ones still in use since the BGE wildfire began in earnest in the late 1990's. That was midpoint when Eggfests sprung up all over the country when independent dealerships - of which many were mom and pop businesses fanned the BGE flames. 

    BTW @WoodworkerBED in case you want the history about Ed Fisher and the origin of BGE then watch this 21 minute 2024 YouTube 50th anniversary tribute.
