Nope, that joker is heavy. It's in its final resting place on my deck, I'm not moving it again.

I wasn't in the market, the wife thought she could get a good deal. $750 for the large egg with the nest, from what I can tell...I think it's a good price.

It is and I'm not sure how they're set up but I'd bet it similar. If so, firebox divider is very useful.

I don't think the egg has a divider.

Definitely get one of these. They come in handy.

I have a Looflighter and a cheap electric starter. I have gone back to the cheap electric starter. Don't have to wait around and hold the button like the Looflighter and much cheaper.

I agree you don't need a platesetter for chicken. But it does prevent drippings from flaming up and charring the chicken. I wouldn't skip the chicken if you don't have the platesetter, but I would definitely use it if you already have one.

Also make sure you toss in some wood chips or chunks. Love the smoky flavor!
