I did a ton of research before getting mine. They're all great in their own right.

You think what you've been cooking is good, but it doesn't compare to the BGE.


I got one six months ago and it’s changed my life.

I cook on it 3-4 times a week and it’s honestly one of my favorite things to do. Watch baseball outside, drink and cook whatever I want.

One the greatest things about it is cooking stuff I’ve never eaten. I have a great butcher down the road and I’m constantly searching for new things to cook on the egg.

One thing I learned is that the egg itself is only the beginning. The accessories are an entirely different rabbit hole. Ceramicgrillstore.com is awesome and you can get so much cool shite on that site.

What’s the Warranty on a KJ? Always thought they looked solid when checking them out in stores.

Just upgraded from a primo Jr to a kamado big Joe 2. Just when I thought meat cooked over fire couldn't get any better, this thing proves me wrong.

Kinda hard to beat then. KJ keeps there price low across the board it seems. Some BGE/Primo dealers (high end patio/pool places) will try to jack the price up. I’d check around on all 3 brands. I bought a Large BGE 7 years ago for around 685 in Collins, Ms. A store in my hometown in Arkansas was selling it for over 1K.

Got one on the setup above. Cooked a damn good brisket Saturday and left the house for 6 hours.

That’s why I like my cyber Q on un attended cooks. I put a brisket on and go to bed.

Do you not have the firebox divider? That thing is worth its weight in gold. It lets you use way less charcoal and comes to temp fast.

Best damn thing I’ve ever bought for my egg. Whichever ceramic you decide on, a flameboss would be the first thing I’d buy for it.

I have a large unit. Someone said you can find a similar cooker for a lessor price. I think as long as it’s a ceramic or similar cooker you are fine

The Monolith comes with the Cyber Q, Charcoal Basket with divider, extended grates, pizza stone, 2 half moon heat deflectors, cart, shelves, HD Stainless hinges and wood chip feeder. I highly recommend it.

We’ve got a Primo XL and love it. Purchased with plates and rolling table that we stained and sealed.

Really like the Looftlighter electric firestarter to getting things started more quickly.

I may have to look at those and see if I can liners up to buy wholesale. Sounds like a lot of good stuff with it.

What do they say about having it out in the weather with the electronics? Un covered?

That I don't know. I won't use the Cyber Q if it's raining.
