Just sold my Weber gas grill and getting ready to order my first egg. Any recommendations for a novice concerning which size to get - standard or large?

    TexasBlue,
    Get a large unless you can think of some overriding reason that you can't get one. You haven't told us what is important to you, but unless there is something unusual about your situation, I think you will find the large the best choice. Get something smaller and someday you will find yourself in a position where you need a large.[p]TNW

    The Naked Whiz,
    I had the same problem, I got the large as suggested by the forum. When I purchased mine, the price difference was not that much between the medium and large, there was a bigger price difference between the small and medium. [p]I now have a large, medium and mini. The large is still my favorite because of the room inside. They will all cook great for you so try to determine your needs and your price range. Don't forget that you will need some extra's, thermometer,grill gripper and such, these will add to the cost.
    Good luck to ya,
    New Bob

    TexasBlue,[p]If I had more expendable cash right now (I own a Large and a Mini) I would buy another large without hesitation!
    My two cents worth[p]Carey

    New Bob,[p]If price isn't a consideration, get the large. You get the most flexibility from 15 lb+ turkeys to a couple of steaks. You won't be sorry.[p]TT

    TexasBlue,
    You won't go wrong with a large. For example, I am doing 4 chicken breasts right now on my large. Obviously a large is not needed for that. But I have also done 3 whole chickens at once. One large turkey - about 18 pounds. You get the picture.[p]LVM
