likely will take 5 years before they're available in Canada, minimum.

Yeah.. I know a guy that has had one for a couple years actually.

He had us over for dinner one eve and cooked up a bunch of excellent food on it.

Those are great cookers, I'd be surprised if you can't get one in Canada, they have been around for a while. I like cooking in my offset smoker but the BGE is definitely an object worthy of lust.

They even have a bit of a cult following:

They're basically a modern version of the portable 'ovens' used by Napoleon and later, the Légion étrangère - which means, they're a well-developed technology. I just haven't seen anything about them until now...

They go even further back, they are based on the Japanese Kamodo (sp?) from like 3,000 years ago.

(Holy crap I'm a geek.)

yes, you are, but i love that about you.

fact is - it's a modern version of the oldest 'ovens' in known history.

Nineveh, anyone? How 'bout Ur?

but the fact is... portable and and currently available, that's my issue.

my dad scored one at a yard sale for 10$ last year. he has a "no bar-b-q left behind policy", and he has eight of them lined up in the back yard. Three smokers, two round webbers, a round webber set into a work table with an electric starter, the egg, a big ass natural gas webber that we had plumbed in, and a webber Q portable bbq. The egg is pretty cool, but doesnt get used too often. We did a pork butt on it last summer I think.

My dad has had one for a few years now. Pretty neat, but I've never been there when he used it.

He's doing it wrong.

If you're in Vancouver [i think?] aren't there a couple 'chic' 'que-supply places in town?
