With grilling season right around the corner I am in the market for a new grill. I'm replacing a cheap one I've had several years and it's long past due. I had heard of the big green egg but just started looking into it. I know they're quite a bit more expensive than most grills. All the reviews I've seen for it are exceptional. I like that you can use it as a smoker as well as a grill. So, I figured I'd ask the huddle if anyone has it and if it's worth it.

Have you used that yet? I almost bought the same exact one this weekend at Lowes. Was wondering if a 2 burner would get hot enough to sear a steak if I don't feel like doing it on a cast iron skillet first.

 

Fired it up Sunday night and only used 1 burner for 2 t-bones.... didn't take long for the left side burner to get right about 300.

 

2:30 sear one side, same on the other and again flip for 2 minutes each side.

I made the 2014 BGE thread....I am a fairly new user....

It's absoluelty worth it. There are so many things you can do on it like pizza, wings, steak, brisket, pork chops, butt, etc...too many to list.

I bought mine with a table off Craigslist and paid about half, just keep checking CL....there will be a good deal, but jump on it fast, as they don't last long on CL.. Don't get anything less than a large.

I also have a weber 330 genesis...I would say I am about 50/50 in usage between BGE/Webber.

Thanks for the info. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with a large. Anything in particular you like better about your webber?

      Blowout incoming and the wheels fall off. Parsons will have multiple sacks, prob a FF. Media immediately starts saying the Bryce era is over

      It's worth noting that we started playing something that looked like football after going down 17-0 against the Dolphins.  Up to that point we had rushed the ball 3 times and Bryce had two turnovers.   Then we ran it 5 straight times with Rico and he started cracking off some big gains and led to our first touchdown.  Another 37 yards of rushing later, Bryce goes 1 yard complete, incomplete, incomplete to get that field goal before halftime.  Then we committed big time to the run in the second half and played some really nice complimentary football.  The Panthers had stumbled on a formula, and it started with Rico being crazy productive.  Something they only learned because Chubba was injured and Bryce started that game so poorly they were forced to lean on Rico. Fast foward to Dallas, they essentially lean into the same game plan against the Cowboys and I think everyone was surprised by how quickly it started to look complimentary.  In my opinion the productive offense really helped the defense as well.  We played quite solid against a top offense. Finally we make our way to the Jets and Bills, Chubba's return.  You can't say the low scoring affair and return to ineffective football against the Jets was all on Chubba, they were indeed a better defense and so was Buffalo.  But the production difference between the two backs in both games was both visually and statistically obvious.  The bigger picture is the offense took a major step back as well.  They are other moving parts and it's isn't all one thing, BY9>Dalton by a decent margin at this point.   But yeah, Rico's vision and athleticism is just better than Chubba and it jumps at you.
