New to me BGE...like new

[indaswamp]

While cooking with my friends yesterday, they tell me their neighbor has a large BGE he is wanting to sell. He listed it on the neighborhood facebook page. I looked at the picture, asked the price, and said,"Sold!" Went pick it up this evening. I got a hell of a deal! I have been cooking on my buddy's BGE for over 25 years so when he told me about this one, I jumped on it. Should never have to buy another grill ever....as long as the BGE does not crack that is.

I miss cooking on a kamado. Taught how to smoke salmon on it. That was over 40 years ago.

I have had my LBGE since 2010 or so and have only replaced a fire ring. I learned everything on that thing and still use it all the time. I had acquired a few more pits over the years but when I got divorced I sold the rest and kept this and the Smoke Vault for cold smoking.

I guess with all the knock-offs that came to market in the last...what...5-10 years; the resale value on BGE's has dropped. Why would someone want to buy a used BGE for the same price as a new Akorn or other Kamado style grill? I could not belief what the selling price was.

Nice score. I had one for years I loved for grilling. I never really did much smoking on it.

The benefit that comes with being an original BGE owner is that its warrantied for life. Anything cracks or breaks is all replaced without question.

Guess I need to check with the owner for documentation of ownership. I hear ownership and warranty is transferable.

I had an “avocado “ lasted 10-15 years. It was $400 new from Menard’s, they only sold it that one year. Never got around to upgrading to a real egg.
Congratulations on your purchase.

I drove to Baton Rouge today to Goodwood Hardware. This store is a Big Green Egg dealer and has awards for BGE sales. They have an extensive parts department and I needed a new handle for my grill. The handle was missing. The owner told me is rotted and needed to be replaced. No big deal. Anyways, I had never been to the store, but had heard a lot about it. This store is huge. 1/4 of the store is dedicated to grilling. I walked around for about an hour looking around...

I had no idea BGE made these pizza oven lid wedges to turn the BGE into a pizza oven...I saw these at the Goodwood Hardware store. First time I'd seen them. I picked up a pamphlet and there are a lot of cool new accessories for the BGE I did not know existed.
