Yeah! I'm just sayin' keep saving for a new Large!
We all want a screamin' killer craigslist deal, but until that time comes when you do have issues (like a cracked base) and its not under warranty and you may have to decide whether to spend a couple to a few hundred smackers to make that screamin' killer CL deal whole again, you will be wishing you'd bought from an authorized dealer. But then again who am I to deny anyone their right to a screamin' killer craigslist deal?
I can say that when I got a FREE Large and spent a couple hundred bucks upgrading it and having a couple years of great cooking adventures on it until I found myself in that predicament. I was heartbroken and moped about and bucked up and got a demo Egg and cooked on it so I knew what I was getting. And I feel pretty good that BGE will stand behind it.
