Pros
- The Table Nest and convEGGtor are in the box — nothing to add before the first cook
- 452 sq in on a 24 in grid, more than the Primo XL's 400
- A dated one-page built-in drawing with the hole, the drop and the rear-wall distance
- Sold direct, so the order confirmation is the Authorized Dealer receipt the warranty asks for
Cons
- No credentialed outlet has tested the XL; the tests are all of the Large
- Ash comes out from above, through the draft door or with the internals out
- The shallowest drop here, 11.75 in, and the spec sheet's non-combustible rule is stricter than the warranty
- Warranty replacements ship at your expense; lighter fluid voids it; not on Amazon
No independent owner base. The documented catches are in Big Green Egg's own papers: the suspend-the-EGG exclusion, the spec sheet's non-combustible rule against the warranty's wood-table allowance, and replacements shipped at the owner's expense.
