    Moving from electric smoker to Big Green Egg

    I’ve had a large bge for about 16 years and still use it. It’s pretty set and forget my problem was the kids grew up married had a grandkid so we out grew pretty quick. But for the wife and I we still cook on it for just us and the warranty is great
