I went over to a friend's house to watch the Chiefs-Chargers game a few weeks back. He smoked a prime rib with some Rufus Teague rub and some apple something or other in one of the trays of a BGE. He brought in around 3pm, cut and served. I was completely blown away at the flavor! Just incredible.
Now, one of these is on my list as well, so thanks for all of the info in this thread. |

I had the same problem Dane. The cheaper grills can be used to cook great food but they just aren't build as sturdy imo.

I looked at a BGE one time. At the time, I couldn't justify the cost. I've since gotten a cheater Q rig and a cheap grill. They're not as good, but I've got a lot less money in it.

The BGE is amazing, nobody that criticizes them owns one. It's inly the people who don't have one that say something else is just as good. There is a reason it's the grill/smoker that everything else compares itself against.
Buy the large, the XL isn't quite as good at long smokes.

Weber only makes the Smokey Mountain line of smokers. I wouldn't necessarily call them "cheapies," but they aren't a Kalamazoo either... When you know you have arrived, you own this: $17,500 **** the Harley, I want the best BBQ grill ever made. |

There are currently a ton of kamado style grills now available. (We had the national BBQ and Patio Tradeshow here in SLC this past year and there were far too many to count in terms of products.) The Primo line is getting a lot of love right now. Here is the floor plan from the 2014 HPB Expo: http://www.expocadweb.com/14hpba/ec/.../indexTab.aspx |

I kind of figured that my parents smoker fell apart due to the price point. The Kamando's look like a great option, so i'll look into those later this year. There's no use now because rainy season has begun (and it's actually raining this year). |
