You cannot go wrong with a Big Green Egg. They're pricey, but they make everything so easy. My buddy printed me off a 700 page Adobe document with nothing but Green Egg recipes. Where else can you cook, ribs, wings, pizza, chicken, and hamburgers ? Pizza mainly being the difference, even though it is proven to make ribs easier to cook for the novice to advanced user. A lot of cool accessories, and the tables you can buy/build for them look amazing on your deck or patio. You can't go wrong here if you have that $1000 to get it all bought and started up. They last forever too from what I was told.
