Big Green Egg

I bought it locally at a store on Reno and I think it was just west of meridian, or maybe it was McArther. I forget the name but they sell outdoor patio furniture, hot tubs and billiard tables. And of course grills. They only had Treager (which is built in China now and are a POS) and the GMG, I think they had Green Egg grills also.
I taled them into assembling it for me at no extra cost. Think I paid $950.

Well I'm stocked up on my BBQ stuff and I order pellets from Amazon. But I will stop in and peruse it sometime.

I love mine and wouldn't trade it for anything else. Find the Ceramic Grill Store's website if you do buy one. Their stuff is incomparable for BGE. Also get a Kick Ash Basket if you grill hot, they aren't necessary but you can get to high temps quicker, I ran mine for several years without one and clean out is a snap.

I've cooked about everything including cobblers in mine and have even cured and smoked my own bacon, ham and pastrami.

All that said, there is a little bit of truth in what @conditionzero said about offsets. The flavor isn't as strong and charcoal has a bit of a different flavor which can be fixed with enough chunks added it, but it's still not the same flavor as burning wood that hasn't been carbonized like in a stick burner. Like you, I don't want to take up a huge area so I sold my Cookshack electric and bought the BGE since it does it all. Totally happy with the purchase.

A few examples:

^^^ This was coffee infused bacon. That's why it looks "off".

@Shadowrider has it dialed in on BGE. That one in the classifieds is a deal. Kamodo Joe also makes a nice one that comes with a few more accessories if you’re going new. It’s a whole cult on ceramic grill cooking/smoking. Lots of YouTube videos. Smoke, slow cook, 600 degree searing, you can do it all.

We use our Green Mountain or Blackstone for all our outdoor cooking.

BGE all the way.

Get at least a large.

Smoke, grill, roast, bake it does it all
