Loaded mine from Lowes in the back on the Lexus RX 200....about 45-50 lbs...base is solid and has a nice wheel set-up to move it.

Looks good. Take pics of the pizza next time and post them. I would love to see.

Did you use store bought dough?

Yeah, I was going to say 60 lbs. The BGE is nice but you need 1K to get going. Use this little baby for a few years and upgrade if you still like the Kamado cooking and have the money. Unless you're ready to drop the 1K and don't care go for the BGE.

No, ready made pizza.

But, next time will buy dough from Trader Joe's and put one together.

i bought one this weekend too. Cooked a papa murphy's pizza on my wife pizza stone. I held the temp at 500 for 15 minutes and it came out great. Cooked a few boneless chicken breast last night too.
