No I didn't. CM was headed that way and wanted one too so it all came together with $45 shipping to Calais

[Jimmy]

Ouch, just got a shipping quote from book. 151US and 'possible border crossing fees'

That's ridiculous. Who were they using?

[Jimmy]

He didn't answer that part of my question and I didn't bother asking a second time

I picked up one of these on Friday at Home Depot...my fist time to using a charcoal grill...looking forward to experimenting with it. Grilled up some burgers last night on it...so far i'm very impressed!

That's a really nice grill.

[Tony L]

Yeah, that looks nice. I love cooking using charcoal and the food cooked with it.

The performer is on my wish list ... nice grill!

Spied these today at Costco, they look real solid and at about 1/3 the price of a Primo I'd jump on one if I were looking. Lifetime warranty, stainless grates...

Damn, they have those in now do they. I went looking for them before after reading up on them online. They have good reviews from what I've read.

Is that Bayers Lake?

And that vs a smokin-it...if you could only pick one? I'm guessing your going to say the costco one

[Jimmy]

Oh, and how did the quality look to you?

[NASH]

Oh, and how did the quality look to you?

It was Bayers Lake and the quality looked excellent, it really did look pretty well built. The smokin-it is a smoker, these are whatever you want them to be; an oven, a grill, a smoker so yeah.... Versatility at its best.

I like the look of the front end better than the CT model. I like the CT version grates though. Hinged, and well thought out. Have to see these ones. Might be a good hoptoberfest prize if they drop the price $150 or so on sale.

From what I've read, these are hinged too

There was a NYTimes article I posted a while back where Weber said they weren't interested in the ceramic market. If the price/quality/warranty keeps moving in this direction, they may regret that decision.

Yeah for sure.

The grates on these are hinged for adding more smoking wood or whatever, both top and bottom. It's a sweet rig for 6 bills

I'm thinking hard about one of these. I hate to spend 600 bones on a bbq when I have 2 on my patio now, but it seems like too good of a deal to pass up on.

Do they come assembled?

Not sure if they do or not... but once you get to cooking on a ceramic you'll never use the other ones again so you may as well sell them to soften the hit

What NASH said! The day I moved my BGE in, the propane went up to the curb. I haven't looked back. I did buy a weber kettle for large meals though, I usually smoke meat on the egg and do beans or chili on the kettle.
On a side note, I made a quinoa salad with some smoked celeriac the other day and it was AWESOME!

Serves: 8
Makes: 8 cups
Hands-on time:
Total time:
CATEGORY:

INGREDIENTS:
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
1 tsp cumin seeds, toasted, or 1 tsp ground cumin
High-heat cooking oil (such as sunflower, safflower, peanut or grape seed oil), as needed to lightly coat grill grate
2 cobs fresh corn, husks and silk removed (or 1 1/4 cups frozen corn, thawed) / Substitute canned mini corn cobs (3/8” sliced)
1 cup cooked black beans, drained
1 plum tomato, diced
1 zucchini or yellow zucchini squash, diced / Substitute smoked celeriac root (1/4” dice)
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
INSTRUCTIONS:
1.In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice, olive oil, cilantro, salt and pepper; set aside.
2.In a saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil; add quinoa and cumin. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 12 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Uncover, fluff with a fork and let cool for at least 10 minutes.
3.Meanwhile, heat an outdoor grill to medium-high and lightly oil grate with cooking oil. Add corn, close lid and grill, turning once, until tender and lightly charred, 10 to 15 minutes. (Alternatively, boil cobs in a large pot of simmering water (or smoked turkey stock). Cover and cook until tender, 6 to 10 minutes.) Let corn cool, then cut kernels from cob. 
4.In a large bowl, combine quinoa, corn kernels, beans, tomato, zucchini and onion. Pour lemon-cilantro dressing over top and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate salad for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld, or up to 2 days.

Smoked ribs yesterday... had a hard time putting sauce on them to finish off as the meat was so tender
it almost came off with each brush stroke. One bone actually fell from the ribs when I removed it from the
grill.

Going to try to smoke some cheese on my water smoker using a hot plate today.

[NASH]

Well what do you know, they finally got charcoal and its a great deal!
