In the 60’s, our neighbor who worked on the docks told us that there was going to be an auction on Japanese kamados because of non payment of duty. We bought it and the accessories and we used it to cook/smoke our brined turkey and our sweet potatoes. It was huge compared to the big green egg. We had several offers to buy it but we held on to it until age finally caught up with it.
Kamado Joe's are the same thing...except they come with the accessories. Big Green Egg appears to be less expensive, but then you have to purchase the grates etc...
Got rid of my green egg because it was a hassle to get it going and manage. Switched to pellet smoker that can mange the temp very closely and do everything the egg does and more. 10 minutes from start and I'm cooking.
Don't know what you talking about but I guess it's individual thing, that's one thing I always brag about , how fast I can get green egg start, less than 10 minutes I promise you
I get that, they are pricey. But my first BGE has been sitting outside, uncovered in the Arizona sun since Sep 11 2001 (Barbeques Galore stayed open just long enough for me to pick it up). Other than needing to replace the wooden handle, it looks nearly new and working like the day I got it home. Cheers!
That might be a long time down the road 😁. My first as been sitting outside uncovered in the Arizona sun since Sep 11 2001, looks nearly new (should replace the wooden handle...) and is working like the day I got it home.
I can do all those things on my big kettle charcoal grill, and it's not even a Weber. I guess if the c-level officers and the directors of the company I work for want something showy for their vacation homes, they can buy a big green egg -- I sure as hell won't. My kettle grill cooks up a bunch of steaks or burgers, whole chickens, pork shoulder roasts, whole salmon, low and slow briskets or racks of ribs, and even loaves of cornbread and trays of veggies very well thank you. And I have my little hibachi grill for few steaks, burgers, kebabs, etc. Enjoy your relatively small market big green egg. I'll never buy one.
I love all the community charm and stuff, but isn't cooking in that charcoal smoke really unhealthy for you? I'm afraid there's a substantial body of research suggesting it is. Best wishes✌️🤝
I love this show but I hate how it always sounds as if the presenters are reading a storybook to babies. The words all drawn out and warm, the cadence so rhythmic and un-natural..
no, because there is no such thing as man made climate change. Al Gore lied and he is an Anti-Christ. If we get rid of carbon, the plants and trees will die and there will be no oxygen for us.
lol. NO, it doesnt. your charcoal weber grill is like a kids toy, like an easy bake oven compared to the green egg. once you actually try one, you will see what im talking about.
