Though I don't think a Big Green Egg can ever make a pizza like the LBE, I rank it as a multitasker. You can make a fairly good pizza on it, you can smoke on it, you can do low temperature (but not cold-smoked) fish on it, it does grill really well, it serves as an outdoor oven for casseroles, cakes, & deserts. Though they are pricey they last a good long time. I cook on one 4 days a week and have for years, and though I do have a WSM (Weber Smokey Mountain) for some things, I rank the BGE as a tried and true multitasker. If JMolanari would make me an LBE, I'd have one of the best inexpensive pizza ovens around. I'm just not that crafty .
