Dealer (local Ace) threw in the 50th anniversary thermometer and 10% off all accessories. Everything but the nest rack holders (semi regret that purchase) seem very high quality. My Dad has a large so am familiar with BGE. Still need to install the egg mates. Fire ring was cracked when I unboxed it but the dealer immediately swapped it for a new one. Have a 45oz tomahawk to smoke/sear tomorrow for Father’s Day.

  1. Excellent choice. Love that anniversary thermometer

    Hell yeah, you even got the right size!

    My XL is not so shiny and pretty now, but I love how it cooks. I’ve had other eggs, and everything about them gets better the larger they get: heat stability, airflow, good smoke.

    One of the best things I got for mine were the Ceramic Grill Store set. BGE sells something similar and it’s more expensive. You can add additional levels of grill, half moon stones for two zones cooking. It lets you really take advantage of all that space.

    Enjoy it!

    Congrats, be super careful with that rug and decking below to keep the fire guard closed when your lit.

    Also you’re gonna drop ash on that rug when you clean so if you’re precious about it bear that in mind.

    Congratulations! In due time for me. I have to play it safe because I just showed my wife the Smokeslinger I am going to obtain and she saw the price

    Aww I love them when they are that young and shiny.

    Now get some soot on that thing!
