Was at my local Menard's the other day and noticed that they have a BGE knockoff. Think it's made by Aussie - their brand of grills. Not quite BGE quality, I'm not an expert but thought the ceramic was a little thinner, but looked like it was put together pretty good Price is $349.
I'm not in the market for an Egg - I'll stick with my Weber's.
Know some of you have Eggs or Primos. Just wondering if anyone else has seen these or bought one at Menard's?

I've had one for about 6 months now. I was looking at the BGE but wanted to try something similar before dropping the big green money. It works & holds heat great. It amazes me how little lump it uses.

Thanks, Andy

Saw on another site that they're actually made by Char-Griller.
