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?

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
