Picked up this BGE XL from my wife’s cousin a few weeks ago (1st pic) – he’s a fairly well-to-do gentleman, and said he could somehow “never get it to work just right”, so he sold it to me for $500. I think he really just wanted a pizza oven, as he was making batches of personal pies with his new oven when I came to pick this up LOL if you ever read this, Ross; you’re a gem of a human being.
Came with a rotisserie, few pizza stones and pizza door setup, two indirect plates, split and standard stainless grills and the custom stand which I had to refinish.
Honestly thought I’d never get the chance to own one of these, but had to jump at the opportunity.
Did some chicken first to get my feet wet and finally tried these two rib racks, never having ever cooked ribs before. Smash hit, even my sick 4 y/o (who barely eats when he’s sick) was all over it.
I think it needs a new gasket, and I gotta find a cover of some sort.
Great sub you guys have here, bless up

Nice. I wanted a Big Green egg for a decades and then had one for a year so but then it fell through and my brother got it he just sold it recently
That stand is really awesome.
Beautiful table with the BGE, The one thing I would recommend is that you get a table nest to replace the bricks under the BGE. The bottom tends to crack if you use bricks because of the temperature difference. The table nest allows air flow underneath the BGE.
I need a stand like that. Love it!
Welcome to the addiction!!!
Here’s a slew of [BGE 101 Videos](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4QZhiP4QAOzMNy-73urEXa12IVXOI0Qy&si=PTWvUDG_zElgayxs) that I made for FOGO Charcoal company. I hope it helps!
Check out coverstore.com. I have a similar setup and ordered a custom made to my dimensions cover for about $100. Covers the whole table top to bottom. You got a great deal on a nice looking setup. Enjoy!
What’s the wedge shaped thing in the first pic? What’s the “pizza door setup”? Jealous!
What is the pizza wedge for? Why not just shut the lid like normal?
Where’d you get that table though
Soon you’ll be getting a new wooden table!
You got a great deal!
Congrats. Move it away from your house for safety purposes. Don’t be dumb and burn your house down.
Move that damn thing away from the house! 😂🤣but on a serious note, you may want to move it away from the house..
I picked up a cover for my BGE and table I built from JJGeorge, great quality and service.
Nice setup. Congratulations.
Happy trails! So many exciting cooks in your future.
Did you buy or build that table
Did he teach you the secret handshake too?
Now all you need is a lawnmower
