I have an Akorn. Much cheaper and I've had a lot of fun with it.
I agree with this. I too have an Akorn and it was the best purchase for the money.

I have the cypress cooker from bayou classic and have no complaints. If I were buying again I would get the Vision grill linked above. It I has a clean out tray for the ashes and a slot to insert an electric starter probe.

And that's exactly why I said these things have no business in competitive grilling.
You must be the type that thinks college baseball should use wooden bats.

I like how the ceramic grills cook my food. I seem to be able to control the temperature easier, and I can cook at a wide variety of temperatures. The gasket seal also helps keep the food from drying out by holding the moisture in. I have a Primo XL and love it.

NBC Sports formerly VERSUS formerly OLN (outdoor life network) had a BBQ competition series on many years ago.
myron nixon and other famous players would win 'perks' like survivor or something before they were given their current challenge meat.
i remember clearly the episode where they had to pick from 4 or 5 different smokers (one being an egg) and Myron won the challenge so he got to pick his smoker first.
the announcer (bob bison maybe?) asked what he wanted and everyone rolled their eyes because it was a forgone conclusion.
he said 'i'll take that egg'.
i remember he won that day too

Ive cooked on the Egg and own a Kamado Joe...........no difference in the two other than color and the design of the "platesetter."
I have not experience with the Bayou.
If I were buying one today....It would probably be the Primo XL just because of the size and I think the oval shape give you a little more versatility.

Green Egg is $1099, Komodo Joe is $949 and Bayou is $699. Anyone have an opinion, good or bad on any of them?
Yeah, look up Grill Dome.

Is the bat doing all the work or does the guy standing in the batter's box still have to swing it? That's why I don't like these automatic smokers in competition. It would be like having that batter just stand back while the bat swings itself.

I got an egg a month ago for my birthday..everything I have cooked on it has exceeded expectations.
I smoked a pork shoulder overnight for Easter and it was amazing. The only tool I used was a remote thermometer (and the platesetter, if that counts).
Pizza on it is great as well.
To paraphrase the golf club analogy..it doesn't matter if I use a set of clubs from a flea market, tennis shoes, and Top=Flite X-outs or a $1000 set of clubs matched to me and my swing speed, $300 golf shoes, and Titleists..I'm still going to be a bad golfer.
The egg improves my cooking ability, and has inspired me to try new things. If you can get the same results out of a $200 smoker then
you are a much better cook than I.

The ribs I posted were done in a 12 yr old grill that cost less that $200 new.

The only thing I think the Egg is lacking is space.
You cant beat some of these much cheaper larger smokers.

You're smoke ring looks good. One thing I will suggest you try though is to inject your butt beforehand with a brine of apple juice, sugar-in-the-raw, and sea salt.

I didn't know you were a smoker! I did chicken quarters and a center cut loin over spring break.
I too like the work that goes in to tending it.

Looks great!
I have a Primos XL, it's the only ceramic I've used. Huge surface area. It should last forever. There's not anything to really rust out on a ceramic vs metal smoker.
Also, the Primos are made in USA, I think the eggs are made in Mexico.
