I really don't get all the hype around the BGE, I had one for a few years, sold it and went back to the kettle grill. For the type of cooking I do, it works just as good as the BGE...but I don't bake so...

For me, the advantage of the egg is that I can literally cook anything on it and it all comes out perfect. I have an adjustable rig from the Ceramic Grill Store that allows me to cook above the felt line. Makes a world of difference. My kids are pretty excited about doing pizza tomorrow night!
There are just so many options when cooking on the egg. I even use my cast iron skillet from time to time. A lot of options that might not be on your mind today, but 2-3, 5 years from now you may want to try.
Another huge plus is its efficiency. I started my egg yesterday at 6:30am and cooked on it until 7:15pm. I never once had to add lump and held whatever temp I wanted it to all day from butt to brownie. There is plenty of lump left where I'll prob do burgers and brats tonight before we do pizza tomorrow and I won't have to add a single lump.

Sounds like you are glad and happy you made the BGE, your cooking grill and choice with versatility...
With my Looftlighter I can have my BGE up and ready every bit as fast as the old gas grill.
im pretty confudent i guessed correctly.
And just because flame doesnt touch a steak doesnt mean it couldnt overcook at 350, just gonna be like eating a shoe.
You're probably pretty "confudent" that you can spell, too, but what does any of your BS have to do with the OP?
There is a safety feature in the grill that checks to see if the burners are in good order. The old grills before the safety you could leave the burner knobs on and just open the gas valve on the tank and light it. Then when finished turn off the tank valve, never turning the grill knobs. No can do now. You are now supposed to have the grill knobs in the off position, turn on the tank gas valve for 10-20 seconds to build pressure against the regulator. This will defeat the safety. Turn on grill knobs and light. Note after I tripped the safety I had to do this a couple times, the last time I let pressure build for a couple minutes to get the safety off. Since then then 10 seconds works every time. I almost replaced my 1 year old grill before I learned of this safety. Give it a try.
How do you like it? I've been eyeing this one at lowes for a while now. To me you can't beat offset barrel BBQ from the taste to the art of keeping temp. How is it right out of the box as far as seal?
