My Lovely Wife decided to upgrade me to a XL from my Medium. After a few minutes of blustering about the cost, I reluctantly, as I was registering it, told her , since it’s already at the house, we might as well keep it.
So I’m cooking a ham for Xmas eve dinner as my first cook on it.
Will update with pics throughout the day. Would have posted all at once , but I m excited and, to be honest about it, wanted to brag on my wife a bit. She has taken measurements and planned out the next few weekend cooks for the XL and even worked in the smaller cooks and sides on the Medium.

    You will LOVE the XL!!  There is about zero planning involved for bigger proteins, like a full packer brisket, 3-4 butts, 3-4 racks of ribs, 17 inch pizzas, name it.

    The Dude: This is a very complicated case, Maude. You know, a lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-you's. And, uh, lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Lotta strands in old Duder's head. Luckily I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug regimen to keep my mind, you know, limber.
