Welcome to the pit Jon! Glad to have you. Well, if you have the BGE and a Napoleon gasser I think the Pit Barrel Cooker would be the next logical choice. But then again, there are so many grills to choose from.

Welcome to The PitJon. As for what's next, what do you lie to cook, or learn to cook? And how many people will you be cooking for?

You can't go wrong with a Weber Kettle with a Slow N Sear - either 22" or 26".

[Jon Liebers]

that's what I was thinking. I generally cook for small group 4-6 sometimes less. Want to cook on something where I can easily utilize two zones. Honestly two zones on the BGE is slightly a pain.

[EdF]

Add what you like to cook. And welcome!

[Jon Liebers]

that's pretty cool. but looks like would be tough to have enough right sized logs always available also reminds me a little of a gravity fed box,any experience with those?

[EdF]

No experience with a gravity feed. For the logs, we cut them short with a miter saw, and then I use a Kindling Cracker to bring them to an appropriate width. Our Uuni Pro pizza oven takes pretty much the same size, so it's all good.

[EdF]

It doesn't consume a lot of wood to get the job done.

Welcome to the pit! The Big Green Egg is my cooker of chores, too.

[Jon Liebers]

BGE Large here for last 4 years! that's what started this for me. love the egg ! just interested in expanding my horizons for fun.

[FireMan]

How much money do ya have. Let me know & will figure something out. Welcome aboard, eat good and have fun!

[Jon Liebers]

less than I want but a little more than I need. Nothing crazy. I have a large BGE , and just bought the Napoleon gasser for $2000 for the wife . so generally in that area but could also be fun to have a weber kettle?

[FireMan]

Ooooohhhh you’ll love the Napolean. I like how you pit it in "getting the gasser for your wife". Eh, eh, eh, MCS. 👍

Welcome from south jersey,

[Huskee]

Welcome Jon! Thanks for joining up, I'm sure you'll love your trial membership and hope you decide to stay with us. I'm With RonB & Henrik both- for a few hundred bucks a PBC or a Weber kettle + SnS are both great options to round out your arsenal. Stickburners are fun too (but lotsa work) if that's up your alley.

[Jon Liebers]

Pbc?

[Jon Liebers]

also any hastybake fans?

[Huskee]

Jon Liebers Sorry, Pit Barrel Cooker
