I saw it at a home show yesterday.  It is HUGE.  The wife could barely lift the dome.  I am guessing a whole bag to fill it.  You could probably smoke for a week on it and never need to add fuel.

I do have the new xxl. I have only used it 1 time so far. Took a full bag of lump to fill the fire box. I did a low and slow with it doing 4 shoulders. Temp held steady at 275 dome for the 14 hour cook. I was surprised to see.it really did not burn thru as much lump as I thought it would.

I could have used the xl for the cook but wanted to fire it up. So far so good.

Just today I saw one at my local dealer's.  Friggin huge however,  I found it easy to lift the dome but had to refocus my eyes to see the bottom of the fire-box   Nice to see one "live" just to check the box.

Checking the box is having that bad boy in your backyard.

I was at my dealers today and they were cooking on their XXL I think I counted 9 racks of baby backs laying flat. It is a beast for sure

badinfluence

@Mattman3969‌ yeah i can see 9 racks easy enough on the xxl.

Sorry to say though if I'm doing 9 racks I'm lighting the meat monster up instead so i have more control of the temps.

loveTheEgg

I thought the XXL was the meat monster?

badinfluence

Naw....this is the meat monster

Mattman3969

Are you sure the Meat Monster isn't a little heavy for the 250??

badinfluence

Naw only 2000lbs empty that old ford still going strong with 191k moles

badinfluence

Miles even...dang fat fingers

Mattman3969

badinfluence

@badinfluence‌ Don't get rid of it. These new monstrosities are compensating for something.

badinfluence

@Eggcelsior‌ no I won't sell or get rid of the old girl. It's alot cheaper to fix it then pay 500 for a new one. If it was rusted or something but nota spot or rust on her and it pulls anything I need it to.

Lit

I would get 4 xls for what I was quoted for an xxl and could do 25 racks for the same price.

badinfluence

@Lit read my sig. If I need to i can do 100 racks at the same time if I wanted to.

Someone might call the fire department if I did light everything at one time though plus never had a need to cook that many at once either.
And I could not buy 4 xl for the price I got the xxl for maybe 2 xl and a large.

If you ever do a clean burn, I'm gonna need video on that...

BuckeyeBob

@badinfluence‌ Do you gave a pic of your cooking area? I would love to see the whole extended family.

badinfluence

@BuckeyeBob I am going to be home today some time and will try and get one of the whole family to post.

I have been up in Wisconsin for the last week on vacation so only have the mini here.

Lit

@badinfluence‌ I still have 4 eggs and have had up to 6 in the past as well as other cookers. After looking at the xxl I would choose even 2 xls over the xxl. Just my opinion though.

badinfluence

@Lit I do agree to a point. If I was told 5000.00 then no I would not have bought it. Even if I was told 4000.00 I still don't think I would have bought it. Can't say exactly what I paid as my dealer asked me not to so I'm going to respect that. Just saying dealers must have a pretty big markup if asking 4 to 5 fore one.

XXL Pricing is starting to fluctuate by the various retailers in an effort to move volume.

@stevethegreat‌ right now at the dells gonna eat breakfast ant pack to head home. On Thursday we were in sheboygan doing some salmon fishing on lake Michigan. That was my most enjoyable time of the vacation

stevethegreat

@badinfluence‌ very cool. Going to Paul Bunyan's so you won't have to eat for the rest of the week? Fishing does sound pretty enjoyable, especially with this cool summer.

badinfluence

Nope didn't do Paul Bunyan just made food right here at the campground. Might come back up in Sept when the salmon ar we spanning but don't know if I can get anymore time away from work. Sometimes being self employed really stinks.
