What Size Egg to Start With?
Taylor
Posts: 1
Help. I'm about to buy an egg for myself, wife and child, and am confused over the appropriate size. Obviously, bigger is always better, but I'm not so sure regarding grilling steaks. Although I want the large size to cook for larger groups occasionally, usually the intermediate egg would probably suffice. And... when charring a steak, don't you want it as close to the coals as possible which would also mean a medium is better than large egg? td

Taylor,
Large......down-size is the way to go......

Taylor,
Large is the only way to go. Even with multiple eggs, you should still have a large in the arsenial.

Taylor,[p]Go with the large. It's very versatile, great for charring steaks, and holds enough charcoal to smoke a big butt the way a big butt should be smoked. Not to mention enough ribs to entertain or make yourself a hero with the neighbors![p]Cheers,[p]David

Taylor,
Large Egg. Wife and I have a large and a mini. We use the large ALL THE TIME!
Go large and enjoy.
