BGE: XXL (Double XL) introduced today

[Jaskew82]

According to their facebook page, BGE has introduced a new, larger, Big Green Egg. No specs yet but looks like it is around 26" diameter. Looks pretty massive. Must weigh around 200 lbs.

 

[rwalters]

Wow!!! Wonder what that bad boy is gonna cost??

 

[Jaskew82]

The XL is 24" and 218lbs so the XXL is probably 26 - 30" and 275 - 300lbs.

 

[Hexis]

I'm hoping for more like 30". ~ 700 sq in v. ~ 450 on the XL. That seams worth a separate model. 26" would be ~ 530, that seams like a waste. 28" would be ~ 615. That's a pretty big difference too.

Now I gotta start warming the wife up to the idea...

I'm willing to bet you can afford a new car before you can afford one of those!

Great now I can't say mine's the biggest anymore. :tsk:

 

[silverfinger]

Looking foreword to seeing the specs
I always felt the largest one they have now is to shallow,
making it so you have to have a heat deflector in order to slow cook on it.

looks huge

 

[deepsouth]

awesome.

 

[Wampus]

WOW....one more smoker that I'll want and won't be able to afford. :twitch:

 

[Jaskew82]

OK so unless this picture is a joke, this thing is MASSIVE!

 

[Jaskew82]

The above picture is probably just a one-off for the show...

 

[bigabyte]

Better be REAL careful about burping THAT one!:scared:

More info on BGE site. From the site:

"Chefs and backyard grillers alike will be astonished to see a stainless steel cooking grid that measures 29.25 inches / 74.3 cm in diameter for a whopping 672 square inches / 4336 cm2 of cooking area."

My XL is a baby compared to that monster!

With St Patricks Day quickly approaching,
Where did they find the Leprechaun to pose for that picture?
And is that big green thing behind Him filled with Gold? :laugh:

I think I want one!! Any clue when they will hit the Market and what the price will be?

Pretty sure this is the prototype EGGZILLA that will not be produced.

 

[Jukas]

Great Googly Moogly that thing is massive. I bet you could fit a small hog on that. I wonder what it's going to cost.

 

[HeSmellsLikeSmoke]

Dang! Gonna be able to roast a standing pig in that sucker.

 

[luke duke]

They probably would have been better off making it oval.

From the looks of that photo, you'd just about have to stand on a stool to do the cooking. Sure that can't be right, but still looks gargantuan. Gives new meaning to 'super-sized'. :shock:
