Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I flipped every 30-45 seconds over a wide open big green egg, and for maybe 3-4 minutes according to my probe.
  • planning to unwrap and finish seasoning Friday night and smoke it for Saturday on the big green egg with a mix of oak charcoal and mesquite and hickory chunks.
  • At that price point you can find a used big green egg or other smokers.
  • The BGE can grill, smoke, bake pizza, bake bread all kinds of stuff. Great grills. Great hand me down!
  • If you have an offset, use that for smoking, but the BGE is an exceptional charcoal grill even if you never use it to smoke. You can get that sucker blazing hot. Honestly, my favourite charcoal grill of all time.

Cons

  • I believe that’s a kamado or big green egg style there are Reddit apps?
  • Just a gas grill and a proper offset to add and I’m probably done (maybe a big green egg).
  • Using a BGE (I know not ideal, but you go to war with the army you have)
  • They're not cheap. They have accessories for days. Unfortunately, most of their accessories seem to be needlessly expensive. Even if you don't use it for smoking, they're great for grilling. But they're very temperature stable which is n...
  • BGE had an enthusiastic following, but was slow with improvements. Lots of BGE branded accessories are overpriced and copied from the user community.

They're not cheap. They have accessories for days. Unfortunately, most of their accessories seem to be needlessly expensive. Even if you don't use it for smoking, they're great for grilling. But they're very temperature stable which is nice for cold weather/overnight cooks.
