True story...
I had a great day doing lunch for the Winner of a BGE in a Backyard Makeover Contest in Ingersoll, ON today.
They won lots of stuff, including a Lrg BGE. When I arrived, he didn't seem to interested. We set it up and I got him to fill it and light it. Still little interest.
I cooked tons of samples for the Masses of his friends. Still nothing. Then I made him do about 40 Burgers for his friends while I did Steaks and Shrimp for him and his wife on my Medium. You could start to see his mood change once all his friends complimented him on his Burgers. Then I fed them their Lunch.
Done Deal! They are hooked now!
He told me honestly, he could have cared less about the BGE. He was thinking of selling it. I asked him if I could buy it then. He said NO WAY! It is staying right where it is, thank you very much.
Ah yes....another Newbie Egghead is born!

Nice. Until you know, you don't really know. Make sense? LOL. I used to play Ingersoll in Men's Fastball years ago.
Wish I could win a makeover and get a free EGG. How sweet is that. -
Nice work Tim.
Obviously, the guy just needed your eggsperience for enlightenment. -
-
Good job Tim. Tim
-
Nope.
Heart 104.7 fm in Woodstock ON, in cooperation with Mike's Electric (the BGE Dealer in that area).
Winner also got Landscaping, a new Deck, Patio Furnature and a bunch of other stuff. It was a good time! My bet is the party is still going. -
Agreed! :laugh: I expect he'll be calling me next week for a deal on a second egg! :laugh:
-
It was just funny. Here I thought they'd be all excited when we arrived. They really didn't give the BGE any credit to the value of their overall prize. By the time I left, it ranked number 1! (But I think we trampled the new sodded yard. He seemed OK with that.)

Oh ya.
Just wait until these guys get rockin. I told them all about the forum and not to get too worked up at the looks the neighbors will give him when he starts taking pictures! :laugh: -

Yepper...it happens----once you cook they will come!!! I cooked fer my guys off my shift and their families and several were VERY PLEASED, and I've almost got a couple to fork out some $$$ fer their own!Hunting-Fishing-Cookin' on my EGG! Nothing else compares!
-
Sorry Molly. Retard forgot his camera this morning.
-
Good Story! I guess a new egg is hatched... I need to stop using all of these puns!
-
Good job Tim~
But did you have to cook on the egg to sell the family and friends on it. I (we) could have picked it up for cheap. Daaamn they tasted the food and now the price went up (if they'll sell at all)
Michael -
Ya, me and my stupid salesman mentality. Next time Buddy. Next time. What was I thinking?
-
Tim...Great story!! Another BGE addict. Hope you told him about the forum?? :huh: Nice Job...
