jldc, I don't want to be an *******, but ...

You just can't resist it? What followed seems to fall into that catergory, and you obviously knew it before you typed it. Stating that it was cheap german knife rather than just saying a knife covered in pork was nothing but antagonistic. And really, does it matter if he chopped or pulled it? He's the one eating it, and as long as he's happy with his results, who cares how he got there.

I love my BGE. It wasn't cheap, but I had a few bucks to spare, and I've gotten a lot of mileage out of it. I highly prefer it to the offset smokers that are so popular in Texas. Those things are usually enormous and rather single purposed (sure, you can grill on one, but not with less than 2 lbs of charcoal like I can with the Egg). With the BGE, I can be grilling, wood firing pizza, or ready for an all day cook in 15-20 minutes. I've never felt too limited by the cooking area of the Egg. I've cooked a 20 lb turkey, a couple of pork butts, several whole chickens, enough ribs to host a small party, and about 10 lbs of wings on it. Sure, I can't simultaneously cook enough to feed 100 people, but I've always managed to cook more food than I need, even when hosting parties up to about 30 people.

My last post in the wings thread shows a good example of how much you can stack inside the Egg.

Nice job on the pork, j!

I like the BGE. I think that if you want a smoker, and money is an object, you can get buy with something cheaper. The BGE is a great smoker and a great grill (especially for high temp applications) and if you take advantage of its all around capabilities it seems more reasonable.

As mentioned, due to the insulation there is no other smoker that is similarly sized that can cook as long without reloading. If you do a lot of traditional BBQ, being able to go 12-24 hours basically hands off (if you have a bbq guru or similar) is very, very nice.

Relax KC, I have the same knife in my block.
