    BGE or Komodo Joe

    Well, I found the following when searching for information about Big Green Egg warranty. https://biggreenegg.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/BGE-Warranty.2020-final.pdf I knew about this first part. This applies to KJ too. But KJ "dealers" are seemingly everywhere. Big box stores, the...

    Which pellet grill for the money?

    $500.00, is not going to get you much in the way of a good good sized pellet grill.

    BGE or Komodo Joe

    I am not surprised at all that your merchant who used to carry BGE, told you that the KJ was a better product. They know it. I don't know your merchant, but I am sure that your merchant is likely not in business to lose money by selling inferior products and having people come back to him...

    BGE or Komodo Joe

    Thank you ososmokeshack. Indeed. Everyone is most certainly entitled to an opinion. However opinion tends to be a lot more helpful in response to inquiry, if reasoning and documentation can be pointed to in support of said opinion. The more the better. To wit, we have president out there...

    BGE or Komodo Joe

    His merchant's opinion might carry more weight than either yours or mine. Especially if combined with the information in this thread which has been provided for his perusal.

    BGE or Komodo Joe

    Let's try this again. On the question as to whether or not one or the other will "work", we are in agreement. Our opinions are the same. They will both "work". However it seems that the original poster may have already been clear as to whether or not one or the other or even both would...

    BGE or Komodo Joe

    Of course either will work. But he didn't ask if either one or the other would "work". He asked which one of the two was a "better product". Presumably for him if he's buying for himself. But yes, certainly either will "work". So will a Weber kettle. Said that he was "interested in...

    15lb A5 Wagyu brisket

    Still need some time to mull my offer over I see. No problem. Take all the time you need. I'll be here.

    BGE or Komodo Joe

    Sure. Cards on the table. I currently own two WSMs, an 18in and a 22in. A 22in Weber Kettle, a Kamado Joe Classic, an Otto Wilde over fired infrared broiler, a Rec Tec RT 590 pellet grill, and last but not least, a Camp Chef outdoor stove. I am the former owner of several grills...

    Featured Which one??

    Congrats on the Rec Tec.

    BGE or Komodo Joe

    I'll get to your other points later in my response. But to wit, an even more telling point begins here. Below is pictured the Kamado Joe Classic I. It is more comparable to the current and recently past, Large BGE. Both are 18in in diameter. The older version KJ, which you can still get...

    BGE or Komodo Joe

    Oh, OK. 1. Multipiece fire bowl, instead of one piece. The multi piece setup minimizes the chance of cracks in the fire bowl due to repeated heat and cooling cycles which lead to expansion and contraction, and yes, cracks. BGE is still using a single piece firebox...

    Kamado Joe. More included in the package. Same warranty as the BGE, more innovation,

    15lb A5 Wagyu brisket

    I can see that this is wearing on you. It's a 15lb weight on your shoulders. But you're in luck. There's always a silver lining. Send that brisket to me and end your strife over it. It's the least I can do for a fellow forum member.

    Featured Which one??

    Exactly. The double walled bottom, "feature", appears to me to be a "feature" that is looking for a problem. But cannot find that problem because of the fact that heat rises. This is why hot air balloons work. I'm with you. In light of that fact, well then why not have an insulated top...

    New Rec Tec 700

    I liked mine so much, it is an RT 590, that I bought another one a couple of months later and gifted it. The person I gifted it to, uses theirs more than I use mine. We are both happy with our Rec Tecs.

    RT 590 or Camp Chef woodwind Wifi 24 w/ sidekick

    How is Camp Chef's customer service vs Rec Tec's?

    Grilla Grill Silverbac Alpha Vs. Traeger Ironwood 650

    Good luck whichever way you decide to go Eric. And you stay safe as well. This COVID -19 is no joke. At their price points, the Rec Tecs are hard to beat for what you get. Their 6yr warranty on the RT 700 shows the confidence they have in their product. And their customer service after...
