Big green egg . Primo .etc what would you buy ?

Charbroil. IMO. 10+ years on mine.

I have a big green egg and LOVE IT. However, i like the oval shape of the primo. Looks like maybe a little more cooking surface

I think you'll be happy with either of those. The akorn (sp?) seems like a good product for a good price. I'm not quite to that level...still rocking a charcoal grill with side smoker myself.

I've been happy with my BGE for the year I've had it. I use mine a couple times a week. The deciding factor for me was how far away a dealer was if I needed something warrantied or accessories. There's a store that sells the eggs 10 minutes from the house, closest Joe dealer was about an hour away.

When I eventually get one it will be a Made in the USA Primo

I have a Primo Oval Jr. We mostly cook for five or less and the price on this size was much less (~$600). It is very quick to light and come up to temp using a wagner heat gun. I have ceramic heat deflectors, a pizza stone, and a BBQ guru wifi shimmydo that monitors grill temp and meat temp and adjust intake air to hold desired temp. Can leave a butt on without checking it until it lets me know it is done. Only gets used for low and slow stuff but pretty cool gadget. As Wiley said it is made in the US and lifetime warranty is good just have to pay shipping or drive to Georgia for replacements.

Jesus man, it's just grilling!

I want a tabletop gas grill to take to the beach with me.

Seems like either way i choose i will be happy i definatly want a pizza stone and a deflector

Tell me more. Have seen these(i think) and interested to know if it is worth it. Usually once i get temp on bge set, i just have to monitor temp of meat(with a digital probe unit that I have)

I'm a Egg Head Myself.... I don't think you can go wrong with any of the heavy ceramic grills...02

Primos XL here and love it. You can not go wrong with an Egg either. Mine was returned to the store, so I got a great deal. I think the only thing I like better about the Primo is the divider in the box. I only use charcoal in half of the box. Have a second rack on indirect side for smoking and can then use direct side for regular cooking, get grill marks and then move to indirect if needed.

Akorn doesn't compare to an egg. Bought an Akorn for girlfriend now wife. Gave it away when we got married. Have had an egg for about 12 years. Use it at least twice a week. Warranty is excellent.

Traeger or equivalent

Whatever you decide, bite the bullet and get one of the big name ceramic grills. I believe they will last a lifetime and make foods unbelievably good. Yes, a little longer to get charcoal going vs turning a switch for the gas, but the flavor can't be beat

Are you going to haul it home in your Toyota Tacoma?
