What to do with my Eggtoberfest drawing prize
Date: 2007/10/21 13:28 By: Tim Fowler Status: Visitor  
 
First off let me say, my first Eggtoberfest was beyond my wildest expectations. So many gracious and friendly people. I'd like to say thanks to all of those involved.

I was lucky enough to have won a Medium BGE in the drawing. I already own a XL BGE, and there is only my wife and myself here to cook for. Though we occasionally have large parties at our house, I'm not sure if we would use both the XL and the Medium Eggs enough to keep the Medium.
So, I have the wonderful dilemma of deciding what what to do with it.

1. Keep it for the times when it would come in handy.
2. Sell it and use the funds towards the screened in porch we're building.
3. Give it to my brother whose wife is a chef.

I guess my question is, what would it be worth if I sold it? And, are there benefits to owning two, even if you don't cook for large groups often? It came with the nest. Internet dealers’ prices range too drastically to pin point a fair price.

Thanks for any help,
Tim aka Vern

Tim Fowler,
There is GREAT benefits to owning two (although I have a large and a small) as it comes in very handing for separate meals - i.e., last night I put a butt on the large for an over night cook and a did some steaks on the small for dinner last night. The examples of multi-eggs could go on and on.

However, if you want to be a true hero, give it to your brother because this is truly a gift that keeps on giving.

Go ahead, convert another - give it as a gift.

Tim Fowler,

I have two eggs, a large and a medium. I cook on the medium much more than the large. You will too, especially when cooking for just the 2 of you. The XL will come in handy for those large parties, but you will be surprised how much food you can cook on the medium and how good a job it does. It also uses a bit less lump to get the job done. The other benefit to 2 eggs is the ability to cook 2 completely different styles and temps at the same time. Makes dinner and party planning even easier.

If you are set against keeping it you can give it to your brother and then you will always have that to hold over his head. He will appreciate it more thanyou can imagine.

Tim Fowler,
Congrats on winning the medium...
I started with a large that I bought used several years back, and have since picked up a second large and a small -
I love the versatility of having a 2nd - smaller size...

example, recent college game day get together at our house... I had ribs on the large for several hours and appetizers going on the small - then a few chicken breats on the small for the non pork eaters (my wife invited those people - I wouldn't have a friend that didn't like pork, ha!)-

Anyway - if just the two of you and you don't do much entertaining, the large is probably sufficient.. and you could sell or pass to your brother - on the other hand, 2 could certainly come in handy and offers alot of versatility in cooking multiple items.

Tim Fowler,
first of all I have my own opinion about multiple eggs - seeing I have 4 sizes and love them and also just two of us 99% of the time. While it's generous of you to consider giving it to your brother you have to ask yourself...
will he or his wife want it, let alone use it? (an unwanted gift to a person with a gas mentality is a waste.)
While I don't have a brother I have a close brother-in-law however twice now in two years I have won large BGEs in contests and I've donated them both to Easter Seals. While my b-i-l says he would like one I know he doesn't have the patience to learn it or to even use it.

Tim Fowler,
If you are seriously thinking about giving it to your brother, let me just say this, YOU"VE ALWAYS BEEN LIKE A BROTHER TO ME!!". I think if you try it for a while, you can make a better, more informed decision, then there won't be any second guessing later on. Congrats on winning such a versitile prize!!

Tim Fowler,
I agree with some of the previous post that you should give the multiple egg ownership a try. I have an XL as well as a large and small. Added a mini at the fest. There are 3 of us here and i use the small 75% of the time. Saves on lump and time. Doesnt take very much to crank it up for a few steaks, chicken breasts, pork chops. Its also a very good pizza maker so i can see that the medium would be just about perfect. Thats the only size i dont have.

Tim Fowler,
Give it to your brother for a Christmas gift.
It will shock him to receive such a fine item, but your turn to receive will be the next Christmas.
You got to luv my strategy!

Tim Fowler,
Hey Tim...I saw you walking to claim your prize. I jumped and hollared (sp..is that a word) last year when I won the large. We already had a large and small....we save the extra one for baking stuff....not having all the greasy residue....so...keep it...your wife may get into it one day.

Kim


a favorite...chocolate chip kahulua cake..yummy

RRP,
I think they both would use it. And Enjoy it. Like I said, she's an actual chef and also happened to grow up in Japan,
so I think having a Kamado would not only be something they would use, but also somehow remind her of her past.
Thanks for the input,
Tim

It'll be a few years before he retires from the Navy, but that is an idea.

BurntRaw,
The arguements for keeping it and giving it away seem
evenly weighted. Being that he's about to be moved again by
the Navy, I'll atleast wait to see if he's buying a house
rather than renting an apartment before giving it to him
so I have a little while to think either way.
Thanks,
Tim

Moi?
Me, wicked?
Ask Mr. Wise, Celtic Wolf or Max!
They actually saw my little downy wing tips sticking out from under my shirt sleeves.
Thx for reply.
God bless.

Tim Fowler,
Mom just told me I was adopted.

Does that count for anything?
Making a nice spot on the deck now, for my new egg.

I'm sorry, but I am the pretty child.
Your head is a little egged shaped.
Ya gotta luv me.
