Oh, you say that in jest ! Would you have done it any differently ? Like I say, at least someone is enjoying it.

I bought my first lg at eggfest in ocala fl in 09.Now I have 3 lg in the back yard.IT'S JUST THAT GOOD

You are right Gary, and I wouldn't change it at all. Actually, I think it is so cool that someone likes something I cook enough that they would even request it.

If there is an Eggfest near you, the new eggs used at the fest are sometimes sold as "demo eggs" after the party. These once used eggs are usually sold at a discounted rate, and they are already put together.

is the discounted rate enough to justify going a loooong distance and having to bring it back in a truck or Tahoe? We may be going thru PA in September when the fest is there so it could be a possibility --

I want one so much I can taste all the things you all are cooking and I still have trouble loosening the purse strings for it -- yeah yeah I am cheap - I will spend more to get quality like the egg but it is hard for me to spend the money - if that strikes a cord with anyone else

Im an accountant and Im cheap, two characteristics that lead me to be extremely stingy, just ask my wife! but if you really are looking to invest in an egg and question if your finances can handle it, then I would wait, I love my bge and use it all the time. It took me nearly a year to where I could afford one and thats when I discovered purchasing one at a local eggfest for $200 less then normal. One way to ensure you can afford a nice egg is to budget your money and seek ways to save your money. Maybe you can reduce playing golf so often or play at a public course during twilight hours, plan your meals out for the week and avoid hitting up Chilis at the last minute because your family has nothing to eat. Buying in bulk at Sams Club or Costco has reduced my wife's and I food budget by nearly 30%. Their is a multitude of ways to save more of the money you make and can lead to peace of mind when buying a big ticket item. But if you buy an egg and dump 1000 dollars into it (which is pretty easy!) and next month you have a major repair or worse get laid off at work, your going to be in a bind and resent buying that big green egg. But when you do decide that buying one is financially feasible your will love it. Just look at all these awesome people who have a wonderful hobby. Hope i didn't rant to much but just something to think about.
