Experienced thoughts on Kamados

You have to ask your wifes permission to spend $300 to feed your family?

Be a man and buy something.

I can't speak to the other grills recommended here, but I would also recommend looking at the big steel keg. They are the same size as the Large BGE and come standard with a CI grate, second level SS grate, stand and grill tool for less $. They won't break if you drop them either. I find mine to be very well constructed.

After doing tons of research, I ended up with a Primo XL. It has tons more cooking surface than the BGE.
Being made in the USA is important, finding out the BGEs are being made in Mexico sealed the deal.

Not knocking the nice Primo XL, but I've compared them side by side at my local grill store to an XL BGE.

I did not see this extra size, in fact the XL BGE appeared to have much more room.
