Big green egg BBQ cart

[poto]

Whew. Glad to be back in the hairy-chested he-man BBQ club. Gonna have to grow some chest hair now. Almost 50, and still nothing to show but my scrawny ribs.

I have a friend in Canada who used to make tandoor ovens for Indian restaurants. They get pretty seriously hot inside. They require some considerable skill to throw (they'll crack as they dry), and a large kiln for firing. Electric kiln will work, since the ovens are not reduction glazed. But I haven't seen one as deeply elegant as your tiled monster, GB.

(Sorry for perpetuating the hijack...)

"...,mmmm, barbeque!" This, to me, is interesting. I own a ceramic BBQ as well, and they fall into the same performance/price category as Festools. Plus, like Festool, they embrace a slightly different way of accomplishing a common goal (mmmm, barbeque!). I have found several other members of forums that I haunt frequently, who enjoy using these cookers, as well. In fact, I would estimate a much higher incidence than in the population at large. Could it be that those of us who are finicky about tools for wood are the same way about tools for food? I won't even start about choosing knives for the kitchen! Eh, eh? Can I get an amen? Or have I said too much about my other little obsession?

Hi,
    This one looks more like a Faberge egg!

When I have to describe the BBQ without having a picture, I tell people "If you had a pet elephant and it died, and you cremated it, THIS would be the urn that would hold the ashes." The manufacturer calls it "functional yard art". Of course it weighs over 550 lbs. as well so, that makes it one of the heaviest backyard BBQs I've ever had. In addition to BBQ, the pizza it cooks is out of this world. Y'all get to Salt Lake City I'd be happy to show it to you (might even be something on the grill).

Gentlemen,

Thank you for forcing me to spend my money!  Saturday night, my stepson stopped over and mentioned that he was going to a barbecue seminar.  He mentioned that his friend had a Big Green Egg.  I said, "Hey, I saw a post about a stand for Big Green Egg on FOG."  Then I said, "BTW, what's a Big Green Egg?"  Seeing that I was one of the unwashed, he expounded on the benefits of a BGE (as the aficionados refer to them). 

I looked out the family room door at our old grill and thought, "Hmmm... That might be nice!"  Now I've got the hots (pardon the pun) for one. 

So Thanks - A - Lot!  Now I have to buy a BGE to keep up with my step son!  And it's YOUR fault!!!  I'll be broke before long.  Well... FAT and broke!  ;D

Dan.

So are you inviting all of us over for a cookout. You know, to see how it works, not just for the food. ;D

once green, you don't go back... or something like that  :  Never say never but I have no plans to ever go back to using a gas grill.  My brother turned me on to the Egg.  It cooks evenly, doesn't burn he meat and will hold a temp for hours on end.  It's fantastic!  Oh, and the flavor... just melts in your mouth... mmmmmm... getting hungry right now!  BTW, just finished up the the table top again a couple of days ago.  Came out even better this time.  4 coats of spar urethane with a 320 sanding between each coat using the RO150FEQ.  Smooth as glass.  Helps to have Fuji Q4 sprayer to lay it down.  I could probably sell these to some local BBQ dealers who carry the egg but the materials cost me $250 at a local wholesale hardwood dealer.  They would have to sell for $750 or more to make it work out for everyone.  But hey, quality ain't cheap!

AMEN!

OK, I'll start.  Hi. I'm steve, ( group says hi Steve) and I'm also handy in the kitchen and slightly obsessed with new foods, I mean, I make knives and that kind of stuff, but I also like to cook.  Good Eats is my favorite show, and yes, I've even learned to make marshmallows. :

Whew, I'm glad to get that off my chest!

...Good Eats is my favorite show...

[enthusiastic] Yeah!  Alton Brown is by far my favorite cooking show host.  Where else can you get biochemistry lessons taught by sock puppets?

I'm sure Gordon Ramsay could take him, though.
