Title: Finally got a large Big Green Egg!
Post by: MossyMO on September 18, 2013, 09:51:54 PM
Been wanting a ceramic grill for quite a while and last weekend just about purchased a Primo Oval XL from a guy we met at a vendor show, but decided to do a little more research and looking around. Then Sunday evening I saw an ad in the classifieds online of a guy selling a large Big Green Egg asking $500. Gave him a call and he said he works all the time on the oil pipeline and doesn't have time to use it and has never used it since he purchased it a little over 3 months ago for a total of $1350 with all the accessories. After expressing my interest he said he would hold it for me till the next evening because I seemed sincerely interested and he was tired of the phone calls low balling him with $100 and $200 offers.

When we got there Monday evening it was everything he said it was and we left with a new large Big Green Egg for $440! Now I have been busy for a week and half and it is looking like I won't be able to have time to try it till next week or the following weekend...

This came with all Big Green Egg accessories which included the nest with side shelves, ceramic plate setter, a food glove, ash tool, spatula, meat fork, bag of lump, duel function metal top, ceramic damper top, drip pan and large v-rack, stainless steel cooking grate, cast iron fire ring, 3 ceramic egg feet, ceramic fire ring, ceramic fire box and a Tel-Tru temperature gauge.

Thanks for the lump recommendations, I have never been a fan of lump with Weber's but looks like I'm going to have to like it for the egg!

you got all that brand new for only $440?  wow.  that is so cool marty.  congrats.  now that you got a egg what does Tanya get?   ::)

It was one heck of a deal Sparky. Tanya has always claimed the Yoder was her's... she just allows me to use it every now and then!
