XXL BGE...wow!

[food4thot]

Went to a Weber dealer to pick up a rotisserie kit for my Performer today. They also carry the full range of Big Green Eggs.

Had an XXL on the floor. The thing is ginormous. That plastic turkey looking thing is roughly the size of a 12-14# bird



Came with a certificate as being one of the first 1000 built. From the website:
The XXL is available as a Limited Edition in 2014 at selected dealers around the world. The first 1000 delivered will feature a special Commemorative Plaque and a Certificate of Authenticity as an Ed Fisher Limited Edition XXL EGG.

List price was around $4700. They had it discounted to $3900 with the nest.

I just bought a BGE XL and I thought that was big. :shocked:

I guess if you entertain a lot of have a large family it would be worth it.

Those look like 12" tiles, for scale. How much does it cost?

How much was the XL?

They had a large egg mounted in a nice wood table with casters for about $1400.

Bourliers?

Yeah. The Clinton Township location that also sells lawn equipment

I went to the BGE store in Atlanta early in Feb. The BGE XXL on the showroom floor was a "limited edition" first 1000. The price tag was $5K!!:twitch:

...No problem I'll wait for you to get off of the floor.

I could tell how big those rigs are if someone would set a beer can beside them. :becky:

 

[Big George's BBQ]

That thing is huge Must weigh a ton I am very happy with my large and if we had people over ,ore often would get another

 

[Shooter66]

That is huge!!!

 

[jbounds286]

yea its way overpriced...it doesnt make any sense at all...you can get a nice MASSIVE trailer smoker for that price

 

[Jason TQ]

Yeah it's a little overkill. I saw one a few moths back and it looks like they are getting cheaper :-D. I love my XL and don't see much reason for this one.
