Big Green Egg

[PantherMan89]

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.

I've had big blue waffles in the past but never green eggs.

If this is the first one this year I should have made the thread title "the official 2015 big green egg thread"....how about a little help mods?

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.

I love using them, although I have't bit the bullet yet.

 

 

Great cooking vessel, but I would not use it as my primary smoker, as I like to smoke overnight so it's ready for lunch/gametime.

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?
