Big Green Egg

[sanfrantreat]

Does anyone have one, and what do they think of it. Is it worth the price they are selling it at???

[andrewk]

Am I the only one who is completely puzzled by what this post means?

What big green egg? Where do they sell this large egg?

[tsolomon]

It's a type of grill/smoker.

I've had one for about 2 months, and I love it. With a little practice, it's very easy to control the temperature, which makes it easy to cook anything from a 7-minute steak @ 500-550 degrees to a couple of slow-cooked/smoked whole chickens @ about 225 degrees.

Everything we've cooked on it has been delicious. Whether it's worth it or not depends on how much you would use it. Also, if you just want something to grill burgers and an occassional steak, there are much cheaper options that will do the job quite well. But, if you enjoy or think you would enjoy being able to cook a wide variety of foods, then the BGE is an excellent choice and well worth it.

One of my buddies has one and they are amazing. The dang things weigh a ton or I would have stolen my buddies already. You can adjust the heat perfectly to anything from 100 to 850 and it will hold temp with very little effort or charcoal. The BGE does have to have special "natural" charcoal but it is so efficient using it up that it is not really a big deal.

If you have the money buy it.

The Big Green Egg charcoal is awesome. I don't have any experience with the somker but the charcoal is a lump style that renders very little ash. That in fact is what we used to use for competition pig cookoffs.

They are nice, but costly!
I picked this up a Home Depot for 99.00 and it works awesome!
I am a native Texan so I likes my brisket! and it really frees up some time to enjoy the day and relax.
As opposed to monitor a smoker for 10-12 hours.. the motto for them is "load it" "light it" and "leave it".
They say if your lookin' your not cookin'
And I have cooked many 6-8 lb Boston Butts in 3-4 hours since I brought it home and DAMN!! you can shake the bone out of the meat with 2 fingers

I have had the Weber Smokey Mountain for a few years now. It works great and is solid like most Weber grills.
I can smoke Pork Butt on one load of charcoal (12hrs).

There is a super website: The Virtual Weber Bullet that is awesome with videos, how-to's, and recipes. It has a great forum with great folks just like this one.

[sanfrantreat]

I'm tempted .. very tempted.. gotta work it in to the budget lol
explain to the gf why i need one lol
