Does anyone own a green egg smoker/ grill? If so, what size and how do you like it? I have a large cooker I'm trying to sell, and when I sell it I'm considering a green egg.
 
I only know of one person and they love it. I'm not sure what size it is. I can't see spending that kind of money on a charcoal grill. I think the last time I priced one it was around $700.
 
Get the large. I've had several people tell me the steaks I've cooked on it are the best they've had in their life. Just T-bones or ribeyes from the meat case at Walmart, but seared at 700* and then finished off at 400*. Makes great bbq chicken or porkchops cooked slow at 300 too. Once you get the vents set it holds the temp for hours. They're not cheap but it'll probably outlast me so not bad when you amortize it over about 30 years.
 
They make two sizes, lots of accessories.

From what I have read about them, they are the top of the line cooker/smoker and will last a lifetime if cared for properly.

If you are going to spend that kind of coin, you might as well go big and get the large one.

They are not cheap.

EDITED: I stand corrected, they make 5 sizes. mini - XL
$315-$1200 without frills........on ebay
 
I use and sell the PRIMO grills they are Oval so you get more cooking area. I can get 4 Boston Butts on my large Primo at a time. Best cooker I have ever had hands down!!http://www.primogrill.com/home.html
 
Well I have a big smoker ( have done 20 slabs of Ribs ) But I have to keep checking the Temp sometimes all night. With the Primo I can set it and it will stay right on temp with 5 pounds of charcoal for 12 hours plus in the pouring rain... I can grill steaks to perfection and make some of the best Pizza you will ever eat..

I have a large smoker that I'm trying to sell. I used to pull it and cook for large groups, but no longer have an interest in that. I want a ceramic smoker / grill that will last me the rest of my life.
 
Sure I can.... Take a look at the Primo site and tell me what you want as far as a stand or if you don't want a stand and I'll
get ya a price, We are closed tomorrow, So it will be Thursday. Before I can sharpen the pencil for you...
 
At a distributor I worked at, I sold a ton of the Primo grills and they are the best out there. I would suggest the XL Oval with the cypress table and then you can add the extended cooking racks, which will almost double your cooking area. One suggestion with ANY ceramic grill...NEVER use charcoal fluid to light charcoal.
 
They appear to be very similar, except the Primo claims to be the only ceramic cooker made in the USA. I thought the Egg was made in the US, but I haven't researched it. The Primo oval does have a little more cooking surface. I'm not sure how they compare in price.
 
The Primo have more cooking area than the Egg. With the XL Oval as I said before I can do 4 Boston butts with no extra racks on it. I'll be doing some cooks at the store this spring if anyone wants to see how well they work...I'll post when I'll be cooking...If nothing else it's free food...
 
there are 4 sizes of Big green egg.... I have the medium and can get two boston butts on it.... Shop the price around as the price can vary alot....

I received mine from my dad and have been nothing but pleased with it and how it works...

there are several Big green egg forums you can get info on them from....
 
I have a large green egg and love it. Never used the primo. I do know the green egg has lots of choices for accesories. Either way you probalby can't go wrong. Ceramic cookers IMO are the way to go. I paid around $600 for mine.
