I have 3 Eggs, a Weber Kettle, and a Vision medium at the lake house. I just completed building this small WSM out of a Weber Smokey Junior and a tamale pot. I plan on using it for tailgating. I even added a port for the BBQ Geru.

Jeremiah said:@shucker how do you like the Lang? I'm torn between the 36 and 48.
Have you seen a 36 in person? They are pretty small. I'd def go with the 48 if i were you. I wanted a 48 but found a hell of a deal on mine that i couldnt pass up. The 60 has served me well. Its not too large to fire up for a family cook but will hold a LOT of butts or even a small hog for larger cooks. I love the warming box on the back. its really nice for holding meat or cooking beans and other sides. I cant say enough great things about it.

@shucker thanks. thats what I was afraid of about the 36. Guess I'll just have to save up and get the 48. What do you think of the hybrids? I'd like to build a trailer outfitted with it and the the large egg.

@Ladeback69 Yes, I know about the small WSM. I wanted to build my own for less than $100. The small WSM is $200 at Walmart.

Starting up a gas grill takes very little time. The Egg does take a few extra minutes. More so when the ashes have to be removed. Based on that I still use the Egg. I can understand someone who is willing to sacrifice flavor for time. When the extreme cold of winter hits, I'll cook inside. Not because I like it, but I don't like to cookout in 20* temperatures all the time.

Frequently use both the LG & MM. Winter time I'll occasionally use a burn barrel loaded with oak and a homemade grid for giggles and grins. That said I welcome adding more cooking vessels.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

My decision is do I use my XL BGE, my L BGE or my S BGE.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I currently own one mbge. The Xl comes in October from Eggfest in Columbus. I have two UDS. that I use with the scout troop. They are slightly different. With those they will run hot or slow. I can cook 12 turkeys at once. I tossed all the rest of my junk. The last gasser, kettle and water smoker went curbside.. The next one will be a reverse flow offset on a trailer for the troop.Columbus, Ohio--A Gasser filled with Matchlight and an Ugly Drum.

ChuckR said:I prefer my egg but sometimes when I get home it is easier to fire up my weber. Both grills are in my garage and it is easier to move and fire up after a day of work. Just curious who else might use more than one grill.
I also have a Brinkmann Electric Vertical Water Smoker. I use it on occasion as an electric smoker, but I have also modified it so I can use it with charcoal and use my BBQ Guru temp controller I bought for the LBGE.
I have an old Weber at my cabin in the mountains I use. I had plans to buy a medium BGE and build a modified base for the Nest for "offroad" terrain, but with my change in income in the wrong direction, I've just started contemplating buying an offset smoker for the mountains instead of a medium BGE.

I have a Weber Kettle and a New Braunfels offset firebox collecting dust in the warehouse, probably ought to sell them but I cut my teeth on both of them and can't pull the trigger
XL gets used on weeknights when we are not running around like fools, and as much as I can on the weekends.
I have a Weber Spirit gasser that is the weeknight workhorse. It is small (2 burners) and fits nicely in the corner of a covered patio. It gets hot quick, a tank of gas lasts forever, and though it is blasphemy to some on this forum you would have to pry it from my cold, dead, hands......I love the little thing.
Strongly considering a MiniMax, but I just keep finding better uses for the $$

After 30 years+ of Weber AND a Decade+ of Hibachi, I went to an XL BGE and never looked back. Sold the Weber. I haven't had a Hibachi except for my Single Hamburger model in 30+ years

Bought my 1st LBGE 2 months ago when my friend put my gasser into flames, and I am hooked. Only question is what BGE next? Medium, small or MM? I love to entertain and cook a variety and cook for many, but also want something a bit more portable than the large to take with me on weekend excursions. I love the BGE!1 XL , 1 LBGE , 1MM a very tolerant hubby and 2 hungry teenage boys with a lot of friends. I Love playin' with charcoal and sippin' Bourbon in Fenton, MI. Live Large!

XL and MM, veggies and sides on the MM protein on the XL. Use MM for tailgating, and camping too."Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

I cook on a BGE 3 times/week. Use my pellet grill for large quantities of burgers/hot dogs when we have a party. It also gets used for "nasty" cooks like 5# of bacon or stuff that would generate a lot of grease.

Lg BGE and KJ Jr, here. Great combination.

LGBE (recently bought), Weber Kettle (found on side of road), Gas Grill, Weber Q 200 portable Grill (camping, tailgating)
Since I just got the LBGE i have used it more than the gas grill, I imagine over time I will be 50/50 with them depending on time I have. The (found) Weber was my smoker for a time being as my offset finally died. That Weber Q 200 is an amazing grill and likely when my Gas Grill dies I will just use that and a stand. I also use the side burner on my Gas Grill to light my chimneyXLBGE, LBGE, Charbroil Gas Grill, Weber Q2000, Old Weber Kettle, Rectec RT-B380, Yeti 65, Yeti Hopper 20, RTIC 20, RTIC 20 Soft Side - Too many drinkware vessels to mention.

Lighting the chimney on the side burner sounds like something I should have probably thought of! Thanks for the tip.
That weber q is a great little grill. I didn't use mine much, so it was one of the 3 grills I sold to justify the new Blackstone.

large bge and a webber gas grill. the bge is tops but for a quick burger or brat, the webber works out fine. have another webber at our cabin and a large bbq pit that we can do just about anything on. good for about 10 or 11 chickens on a spit.

I have a emergency cheapo little grill that I used for camp outs (even in the backyard). It came in handy when my old charcoal grill broke down and had to wait for my LBGE to be delivered....

Consider getting a Kamado Joe Jr. If you can find a Costco/Kamado Joe Roadshow nearby you can generally get one for $400 bucks or less. Great little cooker.

I have a LBGE and MBGE. The thought was the family is downsizing with kids off to college, and the MBGE would be more than sufficient for SWMBO and me. More times than not, I cook on the LBGE though. I guess it's a loyalty thing...
