Howdy ya'all (sorry, had to get that outta My system)
So, now, time for everyone to either be happy or hate Me LOL
Was walking through Hy-vee a few months back and saw a display, text to win a big green egg from Heineken.
I texted it in as I was shopping and promptly forgot about it, until I got the call 6/14 to verify eligibility and after answering all the questions, I was told that I won...
All I could think of to say to the lovely sounding women on the other end of the phone line was "are you ****ting Me???" :dohcould've handled that one better, oh well LOL )
Anywho, so, what I'm writing all this about is, I'm getting My egg tomorrow (YAY!!!!! ) and was wanting to pick the brains of some other egg owners here and see what the best accessories are to pick up first.
To start with, this is what the prize came with: large egg, side tables, nest, ash cleaner tool, charcoal, a grill lifter and some starter sticks.
I've been reading up on the BGE and heard from a few different sources that the first high temp cook you do you're pretty much going to have to replace the gasket that comes with it, so, thinking I'm going to need some sort of replacement for it. Any suggestions on what a good durable replacement would be?
Also thinking about either a plate setter for it, or, if possible, something that is cheaper for it that would work as well as the plate setter so I can do some smoking on the BGE.
Last thing I'd like some feedback on is the different types of grills with extension shelves and such. Is there a good aftermarket model out there or should I stick with OEM BGE parts?
Thanks in advance for any and all responses, I'll try to attach some pictures tomorrow once I have it all setup and ready!!!
