Last I spoke with @teddysurf he had a serious buyer. It’s likely gone. Keep looking. I am too.

You got a nice set up, I was trying to snatch it up myself. Congrats!

@tony b yes, very good points, Kamado cooking has so many benefits when compared to ANYTHING that's metal.

I've been a Stoker user for years, I let go of the purist view (not using electronics) and chose a good nights sleep instead. I chose the Stoker WiFi because i have multiple cookers and one Stoker unit can handle multiple cooks, beyond that, I think they are all basically the same in function. Benefits of a controller is the "set it and forget it" benefit of knowing exactly what's going on with the cooker AND the protein without peeking "if you're looking, you're not cooking" is REAL. Another benefit I like which the Stoker and I think the others do, is give you the ability to monitor a cook while away from home. I've used this while cooking Ribs or a turkey and monitored my cook while running errands. It's just handy. Do it.

Gorgeous.

@Aussie Ora I completely agree. It's not if, just when. I'm very patient when making these kinds of purchases. Looking forward to sharing my KK cooks here. The community here is fantastic, not to mention Dennis. I'm in.

I was too slow, the owner, I really nice guy, sold her today. Going to keep working on the WAF (wife acceptance factor) :) so I’m ready if another comes up. Hopefully the new owner joins the community here.

Owner said ~4.5 yrs old. Yes it’s located in Huntsville, Alabama, about 6.5 hrs from my house. Work on my wife now

Whoa! Road trip!! Thank you @DennisLinkletter!!! Reaching out today.

@jonj I guess my perspective is different With 4 college aged daughters, I'd have to liquidate to upgrade. But I know what you mean about more than one, I've seen several BGE owners with three or more! My wife thinks I'm crazy for having 2

Dennis and this community here have done a great job of explaining the differences and value of the KK. It’s not for everyone, and that’s fine. Lots of people think I’m crazy for the $$ I’ve spent in my BGEs (I have 2), but for me it’s money well spent. We all have to feed our passions, no pun intended. I do think having a healthy secondary market of used KK grills and misc kit is important too. It gives owners easier liquidity to either upgrade (I know the new 32” is on many’s watch list) or deal with life changes as necessary. Selfishly it also allows for easier entry for newbies like me (I’m still saving my pennies). Is there a reason there isn’t a buy /sell area on the forum?

@Aussie Ora I’ve got a small army of friends and neighbors that bought BGE after seeing all the things I could do with one grill: bake, sear, smoke, dry etc.. They are a bit rocked by my “KK is the best grill on the planet” proclamation, but it doesn’t take much to see that’s undeniable. I will own one, it’s just a matter of when I already have friends that are intrigued. It’s all part of the process.

Ha! Yes I can see some others have started this quest just like I am now! Im one of those that does TONS of research, and I’m utterly convinced there is nothing better, period. Going to start squirreling $$ away now :)

Yes, thanks @tony b I’ve been in touch with Dozer who’s been very generous with his replies. He already sold, his buyer got a great kit! I’m a sucker for the pebble tiles. Not to mention the table and everything he included! It’s exactly what I’m on the hunt for. This search is reinvigorating my cooking. Smoking a pork butt on my MiniMax today and cooking up some mojo chicken and carne asada for a birthday party later today. Also started some pork belly on cure for some bacon in 10 days ;)

Hi, I’m Oscar from Indianapolis, I’ve been a BGE guy for nearly a decade and am ready to step up to KK. It’s a significant investment, so I’m looking to see if there’s anything used out there. I’m willing to travel for the right set up. Anything out there? Really like the community here!
