Meathead’s Big Green Egg

[STEbbq]

Meathead is an unbelievably generous guy. This Big Green Egg is awesome. He graciously included a new in box Slow & Sear for the BGE, a tandoori skewers kit, ceramic split plates, the smoking plate, and a new gasket. All for free. Just amazing and he was so pleasant and lovely to meet again! Thank you so much.

I am very excited to cook on it now. Not sure what my first cook will be but something good I am sure. The cooker is a beast at almost 175 pounds but very mobile for up and down the driveway treks. I look forward to cooking on it for many many years to come. What is really nice is I have a BGE dealership five minutes away in case I need it.

That's pretty cool, all the way around.

Sagan is one of my all time heroes. The "Pale Blue Dot" soliloquy is one of the greatest pieces of writing of all time IMO. And his bedrock principle: "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

My planned response to anyone that asked who my avatar is was "I bet DaveD knows" Sagan thought on a waaay different plane than anyone else. I thought you might enjoy this one.

He almost hit me with his car once. I was walking in Ithaca and he came flying around the corner in his little sports car; Triumph? MG? I can’t remember, it was 1975. I had to jump back from the curb.

No harm no foul. Someone next to me said, “That was Carl Sagan.” We kept walking.

I love my BGE, I know you'll enjoy having it!

This is awesome! I was stoked to find out the Meathead, and others here, live in the Chicago area! Would love to get together with you all some day!

[STEbbq]

J-Melt is planning something maybe for the spring? Up to him!

[Cryptidbbq]

Excellent! Thanks for the info!

[J-Melt]

Congratulations STEbbq!!!

Yes, maybe we plan something for May when the weather turns? I would love to host y’all in my backyard. I could start a new post and we can start nailing down a Saturday to do it on.

[STEbbq]

May is good!

[J-Melt]

After looking at our calendar, I’m thinking first weekend in June. That would put it on June 1st. Would that work for you?

[STEbbq]

J-Melt Yup!

[texastweeter]

Did he sign it?

[STEbbq]

No, but good idea!

[WayneT]

Nice acquisition. Meathead’s generosity is peerless.

Couldn't have been given to a more worthy recipient! Congrats buddy, you just got yourself one hell of a terrific cooker!

[STEbbq]

He gave me so much free stuff I actually neglected to include he threw in a free grill frying pan thing and a cleaning sponge/stone. Wow.

[rlozinak]

Congrats on the new cooker!

[Redwng]

Wow! Merry Christmas to you.
