Hi, I'm new to the forum and in the market for a new BBQ cause my old gas grill has had better days. I've googled and found a lot of info on this but it's all a few years old. So far it's between the Big Green Egg and the Primo Oval Xl. The BGE dealer seemed very knowledgeable and I only stopped in the the Primo dealer for a minute. Didn't wait to talk to anybody as I knew the guy in charge of that department was on vacation. Price wise the Primo's more expensive.
I'm not trying to start a brand war or anything, would just like to know which would be better for a charcoal beginner, lots of experience with gas but none with charcoal. I can go anywhere from me, the gf and my 2 year old to a day entertaining for 10-15 people.
The Egg Dealer is close to my work while the Primo dealer is close to my house and another one close to my work. I was wondering if I have a problem with it and need the warranty do I deal with the manufacture or the dealers?
Also I think I remember reading somewhere that the Primo is harder on coal and harder to maintain the temperature?? So many conflicting things and a lot of info was a few years old and I imagine things can change a lot in that time. Any advice would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
