Yeah, I read that Don. I think they said this year it's not open to the public as in past years. But I'm pretty sure if someone were to call up and ask about it they would not be turned away. There's another dealer that I think was in Pa that does a demo day also. A demo egg would certainly be the way to go. I'd probably ask them to leave some goodies on the grate to munch on the way home.
I know the Egg is a different animal than a Weber or most any other grill as it's capable of searing 700+degree heat and they say it excels at long 200 degree cooking with almost no adjusting of the vents. I'd like to have one some day. But until my old Weber is over the hill I can't justify spending all that $$$.
My Weber gas is cooking as good as new and it's got to be 14 or so years old. The kettle is about the same. A buddy who's a griilin' fool and used to work at a hardware store that was a Weber dealer got me one of the last cast iron searing grates. I don't think they have been available for some time. It's basically the round rod construction grate with an open square in the center. Hinged wings on the sides flip open to add charcoal and a heavy cast iron grate sits in the open square. We did chicken breasts, garlic bread, and grilled hearts of Romaine in the kettle tonight, Yeah!
