I have and use both equally. Just depends on how hot I'm running the egg.

Also use the smaller for wings and larger for steaks and my XL for extra reach. Well worth the money.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
I am an avid fan and use both all the time. I use my short one inside and my large one outside on my BGEs.

BTW - the routine Pigtail Flipper is made for right handed people and a leftie trying to use it gets SUPER frustrated...ask my wife! Amazon doesn't carry the leftie model, but you can buy one directly from Pigtail.

My neighbor made me a pig tail flipper. It'll flip a butt/brisket. It's very sturdy.
Just the right length for a BGE too. Not too short and not too long.

I have both and use both. Got them as a two pack. Like the long one for the reverse sear when the grill is real hot but use the shorter one most of the time.EggMcMcc

If you're interested in a hand made one, for lefties, I can see if my neighbor can make one for you. He's on Etsy as well.

DO IT! Absolutely wonderful tool!!! A couple of months ago, I bought the pair and LOVE them!! Perhaps the only cooking tool/accessory I have ever said that about! I say "them", but I have yet to use the large flipper. The small has handled everything quite well, in the kitchen or outside. Steaks (reverse sear or not), chops, chicken parts and pork tenderloin. Even used it on a once-every-few-years hot dog.
If cooking a whole grid full of wings or something, I suspect the large one would be a good idea, just to keep your hand away from the heat. Probably not suitable for a smashburger though. Unless you scrape it off the griddle first. And what's the point then?
Would love to have one of those hand forged ones. With a @Lawn Ranger mesquite handle!I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

I would get the two-pack.
Use mine like Ron, big one outside, little one inside, and camping. Boiled corn, corn on the grill, bacon, wings, glad I have 'em. The snare on the Jaccuard is perfect, IV catheter sharp, lightweight.
My brother just bought the black resin handled two-pack after trialing mine.BrandonQuad Cities

I'm in - noticed the black plastic handle is dishwasher safe. That set is less expensive on the Jaccard site than on Amazon, even with Prime. But individually they're cheaper on Amazon.

I think it's faster to flip meats. With a flip of the wrist, boom, it's over.
You can pick up brisket or butts with it (at least mine), move them, etc.
