I can't really give you much info on grilling, we use our Weber kettle for routine meals and the BGE for smoking or for feeding a crowd.

www.amazingribs.com is a great site as well, though not BGE specific.

Egg head forum is pretty good I dont have a green egg but my weber can do most things I like.
I saw this on there twice wrapped pork tenderloin. Posted in whats for dinner but didn't get much response. Looks easy and tasty but I do wonder about the bread if it gets soggy. Might be a good one to get your feet wet on. http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1...derloin#latest Last edited by srvy; 04-26-2015 at 04:57 PM.. Reason: forgot the link |

Anyone have one of the Char-Griller Akorn Kamado Kooker?
http://smile.amazon.com/Char-Griller...dp_o_pC_nS_ttl Reviews suggest performance is very close to BGE with a price tag that's 1/3. |

BGE is good but has major negs and only one major positive.
Positive: Its insulated and will hold heat with very little fuel, regardless of outside temp Negs: 1. Very heavy. You can roll it around your place, but a huge pain in the ass to take anywhere else. 2. Even the XL is very limited on cooking space. I can fit more on my plain old weber kettle than the BGE XL. My WSM smoker holds about twice what the BGE holds. If you are only cooking for two, not an issue, but if you want to do a larger bbq with several different meats or dishes, there really isn't much room on the bge. 3. Price. The big WSM is $400. A nice Weber Kettle with gas start is $200. BGE is like $800. Just not worth it. 4. Materials. It's ceramic. Ceramic can and does crack. Knock a WSM over and it'll dent. Knock a BGE over and it's trashed. Anyone that drops $800 on a smoker/cooker with a tiny amount of cooking space is going to tell you they love it. I would pass though. |
