This has got to be the best explanation video I have seen regarding the BGE XL…no fancy production, no extra long intro, just really good explanation of of the expander system. Thank you! Well done!

[@CobbsQ-qv6jp]

Awesome stuff. Brand new to the Big Green Egg.

[@CobbsQ-qv6jp]

Thanks and enjoy the adventure! Will be one of the best purchases you’ve ever made!

[@kevinfoster8953]

Agreed, awesome information with no real selling points. Love it!

What parts and pieces. You have to buy everything for the BGE. Overall helpfull video.

[@CobbsQ-qv6jp]

This is the exact reason I almost purchased a Kamado Joe, although the price is higher initially. Had there been a local dealer, I might have gone that way. As you rightfully call out, you must purchase every accessory. However, if you do make the jump into the land of the BGE; eventually you will pick all those accessories up over time; and hopefully this episode helps understand which items might be worthwhile investing in.

Great Video! Thanks for sharing

Glad you liked it!

Yes! I now use the expander system with the pizza stone as a deflector instead of the plate setter/convector and get much better results for my cooks. I think it does keep more direct heat from the grill set up as in ribs etc.

[@CobbsQ-qv6jp]

Gotta say, I cried when my pizza stone fell over in the box and cracked!

[@gregthewineguy750]

Very good explanation! Thank you!

[@CobbsQ-qv6jp]

Thanks very much.

Thank you very much

Great video. I prefer the accessories from The Ceramic Grill Store in TX. They came out with these systems and BGE copied them. The stuff from The Ceramic Grill Store is stainless and made in the USA. The BGE products are typically sourced from “low-cost” countries where I would rather not support. Of course, I am a US Citizen. Others may think differently.

[@CobbsQ-qv6jp]

I have seen their stuff and it looked great. I wish it was local that I could go put my hands on. But from what I’ve seen online and through other videos, it does look like they have fantastic products!

[@Cjholloway]

I always order online. Good stuff. Please keep the videos coming. I really enjoyed this one.

[@CobbsQ-qv6jp]

@Cjholloway hey I appreciate that. Thank you very much! We sure try!

Way too expensive

[@CobbsQ-qv6jp]

The Egg isn't cheap for sure, and the accessories in my mind should be included, but the warranty cannot be beat. I've already replaced the base and the firebox free of charge. In the long run - it's cheaper than other type grills that eventually rust and need to be replaced. But I do understand your comment as it isn't cheap.

[@YaBoi_816]

I picked up a lightly used big green egg large from a guy on marketplace for $450. Its much better than buying a $250-$600 grill that rusts out every 3-5 years. This will last 40 years more probably. Also cheap metal grills probably have lots of toxins getting smoked in your food. Just food for thought.

[@CobbsQ-qv6jp]

This was one of my primary deciding factors when I purchased my egg. I was tired of my other grills rusting out after a few years. 100%
