A local fireplace shop is going out of business. Taking advantage and getting a propane fire table. Looking at a Louisiana Grills 22” Kamado for under $600.
Ok, I’ve been lusting for one since I saw my first big green egg. What’s the consensus? Should I jump on it or wait. Course I’ll have to figure out WHERE to keep it. But I think my two Webers won’t be “too” jealous of a newcomer.

You already know the answer, you're just looking for justification and judging by the prior comments you're getting that here! Try to find anything else like that for under $600 and you'll realize that's a steal. Get that SOB and post your cooks here!
On second thought, look at the Grilla Grillz Kong for $730. I might go that rout

I know nothing about Louisiana Grills kamado, but love cooking on my two Kamado Joes. Kamado cooking is a little different than other cookers. It won’t take you any time at all to master it. You’ll love the food, enjoy the ability to get very stable temperatures, and how little charcoal they use.

Costco use to sell the Louisiana 24 for less than 400.00 dollars. The cooking area is closer to 22 and have no rotisserie that fits. The cooking area is small when using the diffuser plate. It will take 2 people to assemble and is heavy. The bright side it can produce great Q!. My other tools include...Traeger pellet, KBQ , Weber 22 w/ SNS, Smokey Joe and Weber genesis.
My complaint would be lack of accessories and difficulty to maintain temp in windy areas. Just my opinion.
The price is a bargain! Large size than a BGE. But, as Timbo54 noted lack of accessories, and what is the warranty like. I have cooked on a BGE for 13 years now, they have replaced parts twice now with no questions asked. When it comes to a ceramic cooker the warranty is an import piece to factor in when considering cost. The BGE warranty is good for my lifetime. The younger you are the more valuable the warranty is unless the cooker is just a fad.
