Boston area places to check out ceramic and charcoal cookers?

[samovar32]

I am thinking about upgrading my decade-old and disintegrating Weber kettle to either a Kamado-style ceramic cooker (e.g., BGE, Grill Dome, Dragon Fire Kamado) or a higher-end charcoal grill (e.g., www.germangrill.com). Problem is that other than the BGE, I haven't located any dealers w/in 50 miles that actually carry them.

Are there any local hounds who would let me take a close-up look at a Grill Dome, Dragon Fire Kamado, or German Grill?

I used to have a BGE...they rock!

The BGE website has a search for local dealers...they cite three pages worth (I did a 100 mile search from Newton). Here are the first few.....

Home and Hearth in Hampton Falls, NH sells them and are great people to deal with. I don't think they sell any other brands though. www.hearth.com

I should probably add that upgrading from a Weber to a BGE is like moving from a bicycle to a motorcycle. The former is capable enough and sometimes fun but you can go much farther on the latter with far less effort.

You could kill two birds with one stone. Go to Freds Franks in Wakefield. He cooks his dogs on a BGE. I'm sure they would be happy to let you look at the grill and ask all the questions you want. Especially if you buy a monster dog :-)

Yankee Fireplace and Grill City on 114 in Middleton, next door to Richardson's Ice Cream. they have a great selection of gas and charcoal grills, don't know if they stock the one you mention though.

While I don't have any of the ceramic's you mention, I do have a Kamado.
I'm in South Boston and you can come by to look at it anytime you like.
I also have an electric Masterbuilt.

thought there was a Barbeque store in Arlington that carries Green Eggs and other ceramic styles?

I thought so too but just checked their website (BBQ Barn) and no they don't.
