Been a Pellet guy (not low T pellets) for a few years now and love my pellet grill but I recently bought an egg (the one from Brady auction) and that thing is really pretty cool to cook on. It’s the mini max , I can already tell I am going to have to get a bigger one.

What size do the the eggers think is ideal ?

I briefly glanced at green eggs at one time, danged expensive

we have the extra large and it will cook for a bunch of folks.

could do 3 briskets on it if needed.

bigger is better.

I have the XL and it is just The Boss and I. Rib Rack holder and chicken leg holder are two great accessories.

Ideal is the large. Even for a family of 5 I do just fine with the large. If you are doing more than 1 brisket at a time fairly often I would go with XL.

Had one and sold it. Went back to my gas grill and my electric smoker. Just didn’t didn’t get into the Green Egg experience.

Green Egg Grills?

Who was the author?

What year did you first read it?

Isn't this supposed to be in the "First Childhood Book" topic?

...glasses!!!!!!!!!

...!

lol , I see what you did there.

I cook on mine probably 4 times a week year round. There is a learning curve with them and some people just never get it. If your going to use it to smoke with I would get an XL. I have a large and it is perfect for all but smoking large quantities. Being that you already have a mini max I would probably lean towards an XL.

Few years ago I loaded my large on a Saturday about 7pm. Threw on a brisket and pulled it off Sunday. Monday morning getting ready for work I noticed thin blue smoke on the patio. Figured I would just let it burn out while at work. Tuesday morning noticed the same thing. Went out to the patio and it was at 225.

Get at least a Large, extra Large would be better.

You're going to love the Egg.

Any smaller than the XL will hurt you when cooking for a small group.

My son did the same thing. I used to want one, but I stuck with my offset. You used to never see one for sale in any classifieds, but they are pretty common now days.

I would still get one if I could buy one on the cheap.

I have a Large and Small
if i was rethink purchase I would of got medium instead of small
My aunt Brenda sells them at Carpet Outlets of Texas over at Firewheel

I got an XL that came with my house when I moved in. You need to understand that this thing is a beast and once you set it you will have to make some plans and preparations to move it. If you get the 2 tier rack it sure helps expand your capacity. With the large, two briskets is a pretty tight fit. With the XL and the 2nd tier rack I believe I could fit 4 briskets if I wanted.

Another great accessory is the EGG Genious, or a Flame Boss. This is a fan that is plugged in to the intake and stokes the fire as necessary to maintain constant temp. The Flame Boss 500 can connect to WiFi. You can have 4 different meat probes plus the grill probe, and can adjust your grill temp from anywhere.
