Henry B 3 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Been grilling since my dad put me in front of a gasser as a teenager and now I'm a 61 yr old powerlifter who joined because I love this stuff and can't learn enough. After breaking my large BGE top at the beginning of a band/gasket change and going thru a 2 day depression 5 days ago with no cussing or crying, I just purchased a Big Joe II which will delivered here next week. Looking forward to this experience and of course learning and sharing information. JeffieBoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KismetKamado Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Welcome @Henry B 3! Very sorry to hear the fate of your BGE, but sounds like you weathered the storm like a champ. I am pretty sure cussing and crying would have been my first and second reactions. Sounds like you’ve made a plan and taken action to be cooking again in no time. Congratulations on your new KJ Big Joe II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
len440 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Henry sorry about your BGE accident but the cloud has a silver lining your getting a new grill. As for the cussing and crying, I would be doing it till the new one got here. I'm a bit (?) older i got started with a grill with my dad on a charcoal grill, fond memories of running from the garage through the snow with a platter of ribs or chicken.

Rob_grill_apprentice Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Welcome aboard, sorry about loss of BGE, the plus side is you will have a Kamado once your Big Joe II arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry B 3 Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Thank you guys. I went ahead and spent a little more money on things. A couple of probes that needed to be replaced on my BBQ Guru, grabbed another carbon steel wok. I did not realize how excited I was until I corned my wife and I caught myself just babbling away like a teenage girl. Have not grilled in a week and what I prepared in the oven just did not cut it. How do people survive without outdoor fire? len440...yes...yes, I so remember the taste of charcoal fluid. I forgot about that.
