how many do you have to have for a group order?


Primo was minimum 25 but we had to lie and say that they were bought to give to emplayees for Christmas. I went to their office in Atlanta last year and the owner didn't want to do it because he thought they would end up on Ebay. I think Green Egg has shut down group buys...

May I ask why? I have yet to have a better steak than a filet from a big green egg or primos. No way you can get as hot a sear or an even a cooking on a gas grill as you can on a ceramic. now if you are a cast iron skillet kind of person i can understand
Even high temps. I cannot do it with charcoal. I've never seen anyone do it. I do not cook filets, but I can understand how those possibly would work. I have no experience with any ceramic, and never will. Those are ovens. I have an oven in my kitchen. 2 actually.

Last week in Nashville I had a bone-in filet. It was a prime piece of meat dry aged cooked rare. I think it was the best piece of meat I have put in my mouth...

Same subject but different topic, do any of you have reviews of lump charcoal vs briquets? I have tried some B&B lump from Academy and thought it did fine.

That's where I'm from. You have the chance to grab a beer at the beer sellar? Can't tell you how many beers I put down there in my younger days.

Kingford lump is the same stuff as green egg charcoal and gets very good reviews for the price.

It's just a heat source. It doesn't matter that much. I do like lump/chunk better for long smokes though. I can keep the temp steady longer. I like briquets if I must do a short intense cook and have no gas grill.

No I was just in town for the night, walked around downtown for about an hour, and listen to a little music, but it was dead on a Monday...

You can get you oven to 800???

And there is a big difference between briquettes and lump. Lump can get hotter and also produces less ashes. Starts faster as well.
