Get a Kamado Joe. I absolutely love mine.
Primo and Egg are both nice. But since you asked get a Pit Barrel Cooker and a Chargriller Akorn. You will have about 700.00 dollars left over for meat and beer. Or just beer. Yep that's it. Beer

I preferred the new one at home depot. I just got one, it's gray and comes set in a cart/table.
Edit: It's 30$ more than the Lowe's one ($329.99)

Wierd, must be the location. Here in my area it was 329.99 and Discover sent me a 10% off coupon for HD as well as 5% cash back this quarter..lol.

Yeah, as great as the bge is, after reading into it, i personally prefer the kamado joe and primo, especially in the xl sizes.
But ya, I would also recommend getting an akorn and maybe a wsm or pbc.

I can't seem to find it listed online on Home Depot's site. When did they start carrying this?

The Primo is a super fine kamado. I'm a fan of them as well as the Kamado Joe and Big Green Egg. Out of the three, I think the Kamado Joe is the best bang for the buck because of it's price point. As far as cooking is concerned, I don't think there is a dime's difference between the three.

The oval shape of the Primo XL sets it apart. Of course that all depends on your budget. If you are tight for money, the UDS + chargriller option is not a bad way to go. I have a Primo and big daddy smoker (UDS). When I am smoking low and slow, I use the UDS. The Primo is used more for grilling these days, but works very well for smoking too.

I think it's a new product. I wasn't able to find it on their site either...and they aren't carrying the cover for it yet.

I used to have a BGE for years and personally and while it made good food, it was terrible at making chicken. No matter what method I tried, it just not do a good job with chicken. I ended up selling my BGE and got a Char Griller Akorn, which I thought performed better and also made great chicken. About a month ago, I bought a used Traeger 070 pellet grill and I haven't found the need or desire to fire up the Akorn.
I haven't tried the Primo, but if you're stuck on a Kamado style cooker, the Akorn is a good performer. But, if you have the budget for a Primo, you might take a look at pellet grill instead.
