re: Strongly considering getting a Big Green Egg grill. Any thoughts, advice and tips?

I was the first poster that mentioned it took a watchful eye to smoke on. I only smoked on it a few times, but that was my experience. And compared to my electric smoker that uses the amaze-n-pellet smoker that I can just light and don't have to touch for 10 hours the ceramic ones take more work, JMO.

Come on man, electric? Lol. Hell I can turn my oven on and add some liquid smoke to my meat at the end. Not the same thing though. I can cook burgers on my skillet on the oven easier than any grill out there, but that aint grillin.

I'm not gonna argue the egg or a ceramic does everything the best, but it does a lot of things extremely well and extremely efficiently. But the egg is my only grill right now. I'd like to get a propane one, but haven't justified it. I can sear a steak at 700, cook a pizza, smoke a butt overnight for 14 hours after setting it at 10pm and waking up for it to still be at 240 degrees at 6am, etc.
