Big Green Egg - no more debate
BigMike:
Roswell Hardware is right down the street from my house. I was in there on Sunday looking for something and looked at their HUGE display of BGE's and accessories. Since 90% of the time, I grill for just 2 or 3 people, I'm thinking the Large would be the right size. They're running a sale now and the Large BGE, next, ash dohicky, 20# charcoal, and grill grabber is $799. Looking at the accessories it looks like someone could go broke on those alone. Must haves are a cover and shelves. What else?
I'm still debating. I have to replace my grill in the spring. I probably use it 3x a week. Then there is the whole learning curve.

That's a good deal. The large will be fine for you. You can cook more than you'd expect in a large.
You can get accessories for much less, especially if you buy off brand stuff. I have a loof lighter that I think is okay, but think I'm going to switch to a map torch.
Lastly, do it already. Learning curve is easy. People actually think I know how to cook occasionally.

I think I saw a similar price with nest and wings and some other stuff at Cooks Warehouse in Marietta/Roswell (near Merchant's Walk).
Damn, 2 to 3 times a week is pretty intense...The egg seems like a perfect choice since it is a lifetime cooker.

If you use it 3x a week you'll get your money's worth quickly. And you won't have to replace it for a very long time.
It takes 10-15 minutes to be ready to cook, but most of that is waiting for it to reach temp once you've lit the charcoal. I say go for it if you're intrigued. If you don't like it there's gonna be someone ready to buy it from you and you're not out much money.

And that is the reason to buy a BGE versus another product...just like with Jeep parts, good brands are always worth something later.
