    Michele,[p]Yes, all three. :)[p]To anticipate all the answers you will get, most folks recommend a large as the best choice for normal family/social purposes. Many will later purchase a smaller Egg for specific uses.

    Michele,[p]I recommend the large but would like a bit more info as to number of people to be fed, entertain a lot or a little, what will be cooked most frequently, brisket, pulled pork, steak, chickens etc... Most people find the large to be the best bang for the buck but that may not necessarily be true depending on your needs.[p]

    Michele,[p]It's hard to know without knowing your info. I've got a family of four (kids 6 & 3). We have had a medium for a bunch of years, and it has generally done the trick. However, when we've had get togethers I had to supplement the grill space with a weber gas grill. We have just remodeled, and while I was hemorrhaging money we decided to just go ahead and add a large. I anticipate it will make large get togethers much more convenient. We'll find out when we get done with the remodeling odds and ends (2010 or so the way it's going). But you can't go wrong any way.

    Michele,
    if you get the small, you will be kicking yourself for not getting the large. if you get a large, then later you will add a small.

    <p />fishlessman,
    Take the advise of fishlessman. He is the master. I got the large then one year later got the small. I use the large for large cooks like multiple pork butts, turkey at Thanksgiving, Prime Ribs at Christmas etc. I use the small for everyday steak, chicken breasts etc.
