WSM vs. BGE

[ScottE]

I sure agree with Russ about the cook not the cooker. My best briskets have come off my Kettle instead of the expensive off-set I used to own. I wonder why sometimes. Did I try harder since I was using the Weber instead of the off-set.....don't think I did....heck, the meat sure doesn't know what pit it is in. I figure it is the way the kettle circulates the heat and cooks evenly. I used a water pan in the kettle and I had a built in water pan in the off-set but the Kettle seems to hold the moisture in better than my off-set ever did. I think in my case with brisket it is the cooker instead of the cook.

I think in some cases certain pits can offer more consistent better results with less effort than some other pits........not bashing just reflecting on some of the pits I used to own and how much easier my Queing life has been since going back to Weber.......

Ok, so i have a question. I know ceramics claim less fuel but if the wsm can cook more food at once then is it really that different? I mean if i use a little more charcoal but have twice the food then so what if it isn't as efficient.

There are 2 tier racks for the BGE

Thanks Mike, glad I was wrong. Too many jobs being lost overseas in both our countries.

I hear you, way too many.

The Weber is made in the USA, the BGE in Mexico, nuff said.

Exactly. Support American made.

Yes, they also work in a WSM.
Whatever capacity modification you do to a BGE, you can do the same thing to a WSM x 2, giving it even MORE capacity.

Well the XL BGE and the Primo have the dual racks. So does the WSM. The BGE vs Primo i would go with the Primo everyday of the week. The oval shape cant be beaten. If they are fuel efficent? Oh my...I can only talk from a Primo veiw,But they run on almost nothing.(exept the HH cooks)

So The Primo is the best cooker around? Well i would say the best cheramic cooker. But i still use my WSM couse the smoke flavour on a WSM is so mutch "deeper" then in my Cheramic.(tryed alot of different setups)

I guess the tight unit(Primo) doesent have the same draft(there for less fuel used) as the WSM. Im a happy Primo owner and i wouldent abandon it ever....But the same goes for my WSM.

For the Price Weber makes the best grills/smokers out there!

Ps: the Primo is made in the USA.
