Ebay Egg If so, they seem pricey for their small size...or the pictures just make it look small...maybe it was cold, or it just came in from a swim! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |

I have one thats atleast 15 years old, recently painted it black. Killer BBQ and smoker! Hard to gauge the heat at times but really cooks much better than a Weber and tastes better than a gas grill. I cook tons of King salmon in the summer.

BGE's are made out of Space Shuttle type insulating material. Very efficient and consistent for long cookings. They look interesting, but don't seem to have the volume of the plain-jane steel jobbies, like my New Braunfels. Then again, there is much less fire tending.

They actually use little fuel and can get very hot like a blast furnace if you open the vents. Slow cooking is their forte, hold in the heat with the thick walls.

so Geoff Im guessing you like it?
I have one of those stainless monstrosity BBQ's. Im looking for slow cooking and flavor, instead of being able to incinerate my food (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chowtime.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) |

Yes, I do like it. Since I tend to cook fish mostly is works very well. I do steaks sometimes but Monique isn't a big meat eater. I can slow cook and flavor fish using different woods, like apple or alder just like the NW Indians did. I also like the low tech approach it has cuz you can't just turn up the burner, Flame on! BTDT

about 5 years ago i bought a kingfisher cooker that uses propane and wood. can get balzing hot for grilling or nice and low for smoking. nice unit.
but.... if i had a chance to do it again, i would buy a pellet grill from these folks... traeger pellet grills you use wood pellets of different woods (alder, hickory, cherry etc.) and you can smoke or grill on one unit. i have had steak and smoked goods cooked on one of these grills and it was the best i had ever tasted. no affiliation yada yada yada..... just a good unit.... |

Nothing beats a 22" Weber with mesquite charcoal and oak pieces smoldering on each side.

Think Im going to order it... I found it for $645 with stand, side shelfs, cover and other accesories + free shipping
Im not to crazy about htose pellet grills.. when I was buying a wood stove for my house, I looked into them. My big concern is the supply of pellets... I know I can always get a cod of wood, but will pellets (wood) always be available? |
