I've been wondering how the big green eggs do... its way past time for a new grill or smoker for me.

Hands down my favorite purchase I have ever made, and that's including the jeep. I have been cooking on it a few times a week for 2 years now and have only messed up one meal, and it was my fault. A good wireless thermometer and a BGE is a tough combination to beat.

Thanks! Good to know. I've been looking at pellet smokers too, although they look pretty convenient, they don't seem as versatile as an egg, or even a traditional kettle.

My in-laws have a traeger (spelling?) pellet smoker and for long smokes it's awesome. But, you can't really use it like a grill and for high heat cooks (pizza, steaks, etc.).

I use my traeger to grill all the time. It gets to the exact same temp as my Weber.

Hmmmm, my inlaw's has some pretty sizable venting on the back that I would think would keep it from getting to that 650-750 sear / pizza sweet spot. I've never used it for a high temp cook so I stand corrected.

Regardless, I love their traegar for smoking, it's damn near foolproof.

Yup, that's where my hang up has been, I didn't think you could get a pellet smoker/grille that hot. Good to know that it's possible.

Thanks for the input guys!

Whoa! I don't think it gets that hot. I think more around 450 on high. Sears meat just fine IMHO.

It is pretty idiot proof though...which is why I like it. ;)
